Some of you might have noticed that I was able to use a fallback in my previous posts that include a native video tag. I was going to do a post on how that works. It’s pretty simple.
But Chris Double beat me to the punch and has an excellent little tutorial about how [...]
A lot of people read blogs on open source projects via their respective planets. For example, I’m on both planet.mozilla.org and planet.gnome.org. You can either read content directly using your browser or you can read the rss feed for the entire planet. In either case the planet software parses and re-exports the feeds in order [...]
Jane has put up a post announcing that the Mozilla Community Marketing Guide is up and running. This is a guide that’s useful for people who want to participate in Mozilla’s community marketing to help spread the love of Firefox and the open web.
But I also thought I would post about it as a good [...]
On March 6th Tristan Nitot and Paul Rouget will be helping to host a MozCamp event in Utrecht in the Netherlands. Taken directly from his blog post:
What is it about? It’s an event for people passionate about the open web. Each event includes discussion, hands-on-demos and collaborative scheming about ways to promote and protect the [...]
In my last post I put up a pretty long video that contained a couple of really neat demos. Yesterday Paul made another demo, one that’s short and sweet and is self-explanatory. Pretty neat what you can do in a small amount of JS, Canvas and Open Video. (Once again it’s available [...]
I’ve made a screencast to describe some of the new video capabilities and how they can interact with the rest of the open web technologies we’re building into Firefox 3.1. Although I’ve embedded it below with a video tag (with a fallback to vimeo) I strongly suggest that you view the full sized version [...]
From this fun David Carson TED talk on design.
The invention of printing did away with anonymity, fostered ideas of literary fame and the habit of considering intellectual effort as private property. — Unknown
Another great example of how technology often changes how we exchange information. Fun talk, worth watching.
David Carson was also interviewed in Helvetica. It’s [...]
Update on February 24th, 2009: Due to popular demand I’ve made a screencast of the two demos that I used in this presentation.
I’ve put up slides from my talk at SCALE 2009. Lots of people were interested in the slides. There’s the .pdf I’ve linked to above and the original .odp format. It covers most [...]
One huge step forward for the web as a whole would be to end support for IE6. It’s filled with bad quirks and is the primary source of Microsoft’s drag on the web. At Mozilla we generally encourage people to upgrade to Firefox, because it’s light years ahead of any version of IE, but we’d [...]
I’m going to list five little writing resources that I’ve found to be useful over the last few months. Many of you have probably seen many of them, but I thought it would be useful to put them all in one place.
1. Elizabeth Gilbert’s Outstanding TEDtalk on John’s weblog. Elizabeth Gilbert talks about the [...]
