Creating Something

about 1 year ago - David Crean

The nice thing about the internet is the immediate gratification. I can make a change, refresh my browser, and see it appear. In the world of design, I love that technology has allowed us to reach a point where the tedium has been replaced by tools that can open up a world of creativity.

The down side of the ease of this new world we live in, is that there is no threshold of entry. In many industries, there is a throttle that prevents the unskilled from joining their exclusive clubs. Doctors and lawyers have years of school, licensing test and boards to prevent the uninitiated into their hallowed halls. Web design has no such structure. Some of us have college degrees, but its not necessary. Some of us have years of experience, but that's not always a good thing.

About Me

I'm a UI developer living in Los Angeles with my wife and 5 hell-raising cats.

I will randomly be spouting my random thoughts and highlighting work that I'm proud of, or sometimes, not so proud of.

One aside about this site, I don't go out of my way to hack around IE6 here, I spend enough time doing that day in and day out. It should work reasonably well in modern browers, but I don't go out of my way to hack around fawlty border implementation or lax support for child selectors.
