Yes, we *know* you’re England!

Jesus H Christ.

Today’s announcements about the MacBooks got me all excited again and so I started putting together some prospective purchase scenarios. I have to say, the new [...]

Out now – my beginners’ book on Web Standards

I’m thrilled to announce that my book, Build Your Own Website the Right Way Using HTML and CSS, is now out on SitePoint. I received my personal copies today and am really pleased with the end result (it’s surprising how much fun it is to re-read your own work in this format … but it’s [...]
