A Brief History of HTML5
This is that article you generally skip over. It’s the one where I don’t detail an ounce of code, but instead describe the important events that lead to what you now recognize as HTML5. Some of us find this stuff interesting, but, certainly, a history lesson may not be your idea of a good time.

14 Ways you can be Sure you’ve Married a Geek
Everyone knows that when you get married, your life changes. When Jeffrey and I recently tied the knot, we were advised by the older and wiser that the first year of marriage is the hardest. But so far, it has been fantastic. Don’t get me wrong; just because married life is proving to be bliss does not mean there haven’t been any of those aforementioned changes.

Windows 8 Preview: A Developer Reflects
It’s finally here. In June, we were given a taste of what Microsoft had in store for users and developers in Windows 8. And finally, after three long months, we have the developer release bits in our hands. Being the geek and developer I am, I wanted to get into the new OS, play with it, develop for it, and get a feel for what is to come.

Should You Start Using CSSLint?
Getting our code reviewed by a pro is a great way of improving code quality but what happens if you don’t have access to a rockstar programmer? You do the next best thing and grab a ‘lint’ for that language.
Today, I’d like to talk a little about CSSLint, a recently released code analysis tool for, you guessed it, CSS. Join me after the jump!

Right on the heels of Internet Explorer 9 arrives the much vaunted, latest iteration of Firefox 4. The release has been a success so far, with over 7 million downloads in the first 24 hours and over 40 million till date.
