To Steve
Wow, it’s been a weird few days. The week started with iPhone 5 anticipation and ended with the passing of one of the greatest innovators that the world has seen. I’ve read a lot of tributes to him, but felt I needed to write one of my own.

Snappier YUI3 Scrollview
YUI3 Scrollview is great but sometimes, it’s not “nativey” enough for me. I fooled around a lot with the config parameters and finally found one that I think works well (especially on iOS). Try this config object to make your YUI3 Scrollview instance feel a little snappier. var scrollView = new Y.ScrollView({ srcNode: ‘#resultList’, height: […]
Making an iOS-Style Popover with YUI3
One of the things I worked on this summer during my internship with the YUI team was building the Panel widget that’s shipping with YUI3.4.0. I like the whole “windowing” space, because I think it’s an area where the web can do a lot better. Modal overlays look gorgeous in iOS and there’s no reason […]
Good software
Was in the car going to lunch today and was having a conversation with Matt Sweeney regarding web application development, and tools that we use to solve some problems. I think we were talking about testing frameworks and code coverage tools. Anyway, he said something that made a lot of sense (everything he says makes […]

Lessons learned from engineering design projects
My group and I have been brainstorming for our final year design project for the last few weeks. It’s been a good exercise. I’m lucky to be in a group that doesn’t procrastinate much, because I have a bad habit of doing that sometimes. Anyway, this will be our 3rd design project and I wanted […]

UI Innovation in Twitter for iPad
Engadget just posted their review of Twitter for iPad (which btw, was released a few hours ago), and the video review really highlights some of the thought that the Twitter development team have put into the interface. It also emphasizes my belief that no matter how great an app is, the average person (ie: non-techie) […]
