Asking Mobile Users to Use Landscape Mode
Came up with this little “trick” when designing a page that just wouldn’t “work” (logically, not technically) in portrait mode.
When the mobile browser goes into portrait mode, it places a dark semi transparent (think lightbox) layer ontop of the whole browser with a message in the middle of the window. This is all handled in CSS thanks to the body:after pseudo class.
DC Has Clean Streets
I know because my foot just got caught and I bit it… hard… didn’t even hurt my palms!!!!
6 Weeks In
So its been six weeks since I started working at LivingSocial… it is amazing.
Now, there is a lot I miss about freelancing; make my own hours, no commute, no “vacation time” scheduling. I love freelancing, and one day I am sure that is where my path will lead me back to.
That being said, for what I am trying to do with my life now; moving into Washington, DC, doing more “networking” (social kind, not the cable) and really stepping back and taking some time to do some reading/learning, and for this, I couldn’t ask for a better job.
Anyway, this will be the last I will say about it, I don’t want to get all gushy, but if you are looking for a job change and you can find something on the LivingSocial jobs site that fits your needs, I highly recommend you give it a shot.
Starting Fresh
In an attempt to clear out all the cruft in my life I am starting fresh with my blog. Having a stand alone blog and having to maintain it and the feeling that I needed to write super long posts was just too much and I ended doing nothing.
So new year, new job and soon to be new apartment… time to switch it up. I got tumblr on my phone… lets see what we can do here :)
