• @dullroar Yup, we have Overdrive at http://www.molib2go.org. The selection is limited now, but will get better! #
• @dullroar No problem – Twitter reference questions are my favorite!! #
• *refreshes her coffee and sits back to watch @sglassmeyer take on @ellbeecee and @wawoodworth in the great 2010 Jeggings fight* #
• @sglassmeyer This seems like a really successful strategy so far. I may incorporate it into my next presentation! Also, jeggings. #
• @orgmonkey Me!!! #
• Overdrive just got a lot more useful for me. I can now read my ebooks on my iPad, not just listen to audio! Hats off to @dullroar!! #
• I have 105 apps on my iPad. Is this abnormal? Am I an app hoarder? Inquiring minds want to know (or at least mine does…) #
• @rpringle & @RobBittner Thanks guys – that makes me feel a bit more normal… 😉 #
• @rpringle are you trying to enable my iPad app addiction? *sigh* I'll go check it out… 😉 #
• @dullroar I have 7 different readers on my iPad (hence the many applications…) but hadn't heard of Bluefire. That one slid under the radar #
• @lilaclee Check the library's blog on Friday – I have a post with links and tips coming out. Let me know if you want to try OD at MRRL… 😉 #

• So excited! I just connected to my test website running on my virtual server for the first time. I'm a big geek, I know, but it's sooo cool! #
• @nsmith_piano Yes, it is lovely!! Of course, now I find that I can't FTP into it, but I think I know why that isn't working… #
• @evernote I hooked my Mom on using Evernote for recipes – and then she got her sister set up! #ensticker #
• @nirak Your books do that too? I thought it was just me… 😉 #

• I subscribed to TheYoungTurks's channel on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks?feature=autoshare #

• @rmazar Good project management won't prevent failure, but it will let you see it coming and reroute if necessary. in reply to rmazar #
• @rmazar ok, if you can reroute completely then I'll go with that, it will prevent failure. Lots of orgs don't have that flexibility, tho in reply to rmazar #
• installing Red Hat into the first of my virtual machines at MRRL and knitting during the slow parts. Exciting stuff. #

• Chocolate kiss martini = 3 Olives chocolate, White Creme De Cocoa, Bailey's Irish Creme & a choc kiss. It's pretty yummy @Martinis #NAGW2010 #
• Drupal session going well, I think! #NAGW2010 #

• getting ready to head down to breakfast before Jared Spool's keynote this morning!! #nagw2010 #
• Jarod Spool's hash tag for his keynote #jarodramblesonandonandonandon #
• That's Jared, not Jarod. Stupid iPad keyboard. #JaredRamblesOnAndOnAndOnAndOn #
• Gourmet experiences – 1) meticulous preparation #nagw2010 #JaredRambles… #
• Gourmet experiences – 2) Quality ingredients # nagw2010 #JaredRambles … #
• Microblogging nagw http://ff.im/qWRfY #
• We learned that terrorists can't operate ziplock bags (water boarding works?) #nagw2010 #jaredRambles… #
• @dullroar I still love it, I just get annoyed with it. Sort of like my child…. in reply to dullroar #
• Best teams have no real methodology or process – they concentrate on tricks and techniques. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles… #
• Jared showed Uni sites with girls under trees (lots of 'em) then showed a dog school with bitches under trees. Hysterical! #nagw2010 #
• No evidence that the deployment of templates produce quality designs because templates stop people from thinking #nagw2010 #JaredRambles… #
• No templates = people who can get from a design prob to a design solution by learning tricks & techniques #nagw2010 #JaredRambles… #
• Vision is a stake in a sand – too far for us to get to today, but everyone can see it and head toward it. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles… #
• Feedback – spend time *constantly* watching people use your or a competitor's site. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles… #
• Culture – have you rewarded a team member for a major design failure? So important to learn from failure! #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• "Risk averse organizations produce crap" #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Went through a 5 second test, learned lots about what design elements are featured, intentionally or not. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Paper prototyping (Carolyn Snyder) is another good testing method.#nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Inuksuk – statue Inuit put out in mid of nowhere, signs that someone else had gone this far, they had made it. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Found Inuksuk all over the web.#nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Question: why 5 years ahead for vision (experience of using site, not design – that should be doable) #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Question: how do you balance templates with tricks and techniques? Pick a pet project to push boundaries #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Question: biggest mistake made in Jared's career? Not realizing how important hiring staff is. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Interview question that tells you most – what is your accomplishment that you are most proud of? Drill down on that project for more. #nagw #
• Question: tips for usability when the audience is tiny? Buy users lunch and talk to them for a while, hang with them for a day. # nagw2010 #
• Question: usability studies on mobile apps? You can do anything, nobody knows what good mobile exp is yet. #nagw2010 #JaredRambles #
• Getting ready for CSS based tempting with 960 grid system with Jack Horner #nagw2010 #
• Slides up at aetheric.teleopticator.net. #nagw2010 #
• Overview of available frameworks, blueprint and Golden Grid were particularly good in Jack's opinion. #nagw2010 #
• Went with 960 because it has lotta of tools, fairly simple to learn, wide adoption with multiple CMSs. #nagw2010 #
• 960 is the usable width of a 1024×768 resolution. #nagw2010 #
• 960 has a lot of divisors, so there are lots of options for grid systems. #nagw2010 #
• Grid = block of content that can cross more than one column in a container. #nagw2010 #
• Span columns for content, everything floats to the left so that when you get bigger than 960, content drops below. #nagw2010 #
• Http://960.gs, base files are hosted at GitHub, includes design sheets with 12 or 16 grid for paper sketching, HTML layout generator #
• http://www.matsugov.us/myproperty – property lookup info all in grid, no tables. #nagw2010 #
• Prototyping the layout/skeleton of the site is superquick. Model it, get HTML and CSS immediately. Heavy code, but cleanable. #nagw2010 #
• 960ls.atomidata.com – prototyping site. #nagw2010 #
• For others to use, edit base CSS to provide selectors that users will understand. #nagw2010 #
• Alpha and Omega classes are useful for nested containers to avoid stair stepping margins. #nagw2010 #
• Showing how to add new class of nav to, for example, the 4 grid wide class, and it's understandable and memorable. #nagw2010 #
• Diva aren't really necessary – can assign selectors to elements and lighten HTML and combat div-itis. #nagw2010 #
• LOL at spell-check changing Divs to Diva. Seems so true… #nagw2010 #
• Excellent real- world example of the use of the system on a web page. Good question, good answer! #nagw2010 #
• Holier Grail has equal height columns, as does Typogridphy #nagw2010 #
• Dammit. FriendFeed is down. Now where am I supposed to announce that I'll be writing a chapter on GApps for a new book from LITA and N-S? #
• @baldgeekinmd *sigh*, but that's so very old-fashioned… 😉 in reply to baldgeekinmd #
• Irritated at sitting in my hotel room working instead of at the jQuery session. Thanks, @almusy, for tweeting the session!! #nagw2010 #
• @LibrarianE13 joking – sorry, a little humor from folks who really like FriendFeed…. 😉 in reply to LibrarianE13 #
• @swolak gotta do it in person! Hint: I'm presenting again at 4 today… in reply to swolak #
• @swolak won the prize, though I haven't delved it to her yet. Justin Imes came in second – he gets a consolation prize… #
• @swolak – I'll be hanging in the hall outside the conf rooms at 5:30 if you want to get your prize then! #
• @LibrarianE13 friendfeed has threaded posts (no losing comments) and LOTS of librarians – a thriving community! in reply to LibrarianE13 #
• @LibrarianE13 you do have to create an account, but you should be able to use Twitter creds to do it. in reply to LibrarianE13 #
• @LibrarianE13 yes, but you can read most folk's Twitter posts in FF, so you can usually just check FF and get most content there. in reply to LibrarianE13 #
• Listening to the CityLife folks talk about mobile apps for cities – gov't info on your iPhone! Cool stuff #nagw2010 #
• LOVE! The casino night dealers at #nagw2010 are giving out extra chips if you show them your library card! Sweet!! #
• Getting ready for @mollydotcom to do her keynote, Building the Matrix: The Emerging Open Web # nagw2010 #
• Flickr.com/groups/nagw2010 – flickr pics of the con. #
• Innovation is disruptive and means that you constantly live in a state of change #nagw2010 #
• Why HTML5? lots of reactions from Twitter show mixed feelings about the standard. #nagw2010 #
• Open Web = dedication to open standards; open talk encouraged; use of non-open tech should be unobtrusive; web as app platform #nagw2010 #
• Open web = browsers have baseline of standards; competition occurs on other layers #nagw2010 #
• Universality – not writing for desktops but for a wide range of devices #nagw2010 #
• Open source and open standards are complimentary, but not the same thing. #nagw2010 #
• Open web tech stack – similar to MVC concept – document, style, behavior and the media above that. #nagw2010 #
• Sum up – web masters are now software engineers; HTML5 is cornerstone of W3C lang for apps; pro skillset bar is being raised. #nagw2010 #
• Get involved, bring the change, force the hand of browser manufacturers – we as web workers have the power. #nagw2010 #
• My takeaway from this keynote? Shit. I have to bone up on HTML5. I've barely scratched the surface. #
• @booksheaf you are welcome! I'm glad they are useful for someone else!! in reply to booksheaf #
• @dullroar thanks! That helps!! in reply to dullroar #
• On I70 doing 0mph. Ugh. #
• Another 0mph stretch of I70. This one's near New Florence. Can't tell what the holdup is yet. #
