- Responsive Images: Use Cases and Documented Code Snippets to Get You Started by Andreas Bovens
- Ten CSS One-Liners to Replace Native Apps a look at some current and proposed CSS (Further comments on Hacker News), by Håkon Wium Lie (disclosure: my CTO). CSS multi-column is already implemented; there is a Blink-dev thread on Intent to Implement: CSS Figures.
- Navigation Transitions Specification – apply a stylesheet to a page when leaving it for another page. Initially I thought this rather gimmicky, but it’s useful in making web UX closer to “native”
- WebVTT Released in Firefox 31 – and the web just got a little more accessible.
- You May Be Losing Users If Responsive Web Design Is Your Only Mobile Strategy by Maximiliano Firtman. Food for thought, although I’m not sure I agree with all his conclusions.
- How I Got The UK Government To Adopt ODF by Terence Eden. Yay, open formats.
- W3C Web Payments Activity Update – “we believe that we have now the critical mass… We will now start the formal W3C process”. If I were worked for a bank, I’d be watching this; better to be disrupted by the web and be a big, incumbent player with a hand in guiding it all.
- Verizon Says It Wants to Kill Net Neutrality to Help Blind, Deaf, and Disabled People .. riiight..

- 31 Adorable Slang Terms for Sexual Intercourse from the Last 600 Years – I think that “Fadoodling” (1611) should be immediately re-instated. However, I’m not sure that “join giblets” counts as “adorable”.
- Hot summer could wipe out Goth population, experts warn – very alarming.
Buy "Calling For The Moon", my debut album of songs I wrote while living in Thailand, India, Turkey. (Only £2, on Bandcamp.)

“Hot summer could wipe out Goth population, experts warn”… brisigoths laugh and respond https://twitter.com/marrowing/status/492211808325758976
For that nasty bit of Verizon using disabled people as human shields in its net neutrality fight, I found a couple submissions to the FCC site that, without naming Verizon, come out clearly against Verizon’s position (at the end of this post of mine: http://rosel.li/061514). Ars covers one of the submissions at http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/07/deaf-advocacy-groups-to-verizon-dont-kill-net-neutrality-on-our-behalf/
In short, formal debunking of Verizon’s supposed claim has happened. I just hope the FCC reads it and comprehends it.
