Friday Links
Ten great links to launch your weekend:
If you missed Gerry McGovern’s brilliant An Event Apart talk on “Top Task Management,” the video’s here for your pleasure.
If you missed Eric Meyer’s article “Practical CSS Grid: Adding Grid to an Existing Design” in A List Apart, drop what you’re doing and read!
If you missed my chat about design discovery with UX consultant Dan Brown on this week’s Big Web Show, have a listen.
Like it says: “How to Build a Simple and Powerful Lazyload JavaScript Plugin” by Alex Devero in A List Apart: Sidebar.
“Modern JavaScript for Ancient Web Developers” by Gina Trapani in Postlight’s “Track Changes.”
What sex is your font? Many people see typefaces as gendered. All this and much more in “The Font Purchasing Habits Survey Results” by Mary Catherine Pflug.
“The Gig Economy Celebrates Working Yourself to Death” by Jia Tolentino in The New Yorker.
Well, there goes *that* startup idea. Facebook starts warning U.S. users when they’re sharing fake news in Macworld.
“The Three-Hour Brand Sprint” (“GV’s Simple Recipe For Getting Started On Your Brand”) by Jake Knapp.
“Why Are Designers Still Expected To Work For Free?” asks Design Observer’s Jessica Helfand in Fast Company’s Co.Design.
Bonus (this one goes to 11): “Jeffrey Zeldman Presents a Math Problem” from Typethos.
I’m Jeffrey. Follow me @zeldman. I publish A List Apart Magazine and A Book Apart “for people who make websites,” and co-founded An Event Apart: three days of design, code, and content for web & interaction designers. Most recently, I opened the NYC design studio.zeldman. Let’s work together!
