modern.IE
Microsoft released an amazing set of tools for testing previous versions of IE this week, including a webpage scanner, a partnership deal with BrowserStack, and — my personal favorite — pre-built VMs for every version of IE since 6.

I’ve been playing around with Codekit for the past week or so and I can say it’s pretty awesome. My favorite feature is Safari integration which brings the “Live Preview” feature that I loved in CSSEdit to my Sass development.

A Goodbye and a Hello.
After almost six years I’ve decided it was time to leave my position as Web Designer at Dyad Communications and find a new opportunity at a larger creative agency. This will allow me to further my professional growth and work on new types of projects. It’s hard to put into words nearly six years of work experience. I’ve had such an amazing time working on so many well designed websites. At the time I started at Dyad back in 2006, they had only a handful of websites. Over the years that list has grown to over one hundred desktop and mobile websites. I’ve had the opportunity to work with designers and developers that are highly respected in the industry. The work we did while I was there, always tried to push what was creatively and technically possible. It was a privilege to contribute to their portfolio of work. Since I left Dyad in early June, I’ve been the Senior Web Developer at May Media Group, a publishing company located in Marlton, NJ and New York City. While this was not the right fit for me I’ve met and worked with many amazingly smart and talented people. That brings me to my big announcement, the Hello.
I’m extremely excited to announce that starting today I’m now Senior Interactive Developer at One Trick Pony. One Trick Pony is an advertising and design agency that works with many well known brands such as American Express, Virgin Mobile and Turner Classic Movies. I’ll primarily be responsible for developing cutting edge HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript websites for desktop and mobile devices.
This means I’ll continue to work on what I love to do; creating amazing web presences for equally amazing clients. I also look forward to collaborating with a new group of super talented individuals. Together, I’m very excited to see where we can push the web.
In addition to this news, I’m now opening up myself to additional (very select) freelance opportunities. While my primary focus will be my work with One Trick Pony these select opportunities will allow me to provide my design and developer services to non-competitive businesses, friends and associates. Feel free to contact me on Twitter.
I can’t wait to share with you what we’re working on. In the mean time check out the work we do on our website.
