“Let’s stop siloing content, shall we? We did it for a while when we were designing a largely brochureware, templated web. Now, we’re trying to move that silo from one end of the process to the other. Let’s focus on structure to begin with, and think about content all the time. There is a symbiotic relationship between content and design. One cannot thrive without the other.”

“Great mobile designs do more than shoehorn themselves into tiny screens: they make way for fingers and thumbs, accommodating the wayward taps of our clumsy digits. The physicality of handheld interfaces take designers beyond the conventions of visual and information design‚ and into the territory of industrial design. With touchscreens there are real ergonomics at stake. It’s not just how your pixels look, but how they feel in the hand.”

“But I am more convinced than ever that until we can own our power, we can’t really give it away. And a lot of people are in desperate need of power because they’ve never had any for all kinds of reasons that are far beyond their control. Gender, socioeconomics, geography, educational opportunity, skin color, and a host of other factors keep people disempowered. One of my dreams for us as Christ-followers is that we would learn what it means to diffuse power – to give away leadership, value and voice as much as possible, and as deeply and creatively as possible.”

“getUserMedia is an API that gives a web page access to a user’s camera and microphone via JavaScript. It’s supported in Opera Labs (latest Android build, latest desktop builds) and WebKit in Chrome Canary builds. Like many other APIs, it’s not part of the ‘real’ HTML5 spec. It started life as the HTML5 element, then got moved into the W3C as part of the webRTC specifications. But let’s not taxonomise when we could be having fun.”

“Argo is a public experiment in developing technical and editorial frameworks for thoughtfully managed topical content projects that don’t require a huge team or a big budget.”
