Snow in Austin, TX

The snow started early and is set to continue all day. I’m confounded, really.

j.winslow design – Site Launch

For the past few years my portfolio at straighaheadmedia.com has served me well. A redesign had been in the works for some time and at this point I also felt it would benefit me to re-brand and make my portfolio a little more personal.

The result: jwindesign.com

My Pandora station “Soul Jams”

I created a Pandora station called “Soul Jams” that pretty consistently delivers quality so I figured I would share it. Click the link below to access it. I think you need to sign in to access the station so if you aren’t registered sign up because it’s a fantastic web radio service.

The Demise of IE6…Finally

IE6 LogoAccording to the most recent statistics from the W3Counter, Internet Explorer 6 has dropped to around 10% usage. The W3Counter represents a sampling of tens of thousands of websites. So, while it’s not an exact representation of the entire internet, it should be pretty close. This is fantastic news.

With my obsessive nature, odds are I will continue to check my layouts in IE6 until usage is extinguished. The major benefit, though, will be seen by large organizations. Being able to phase out IE6 support for large complex applications should mean reduced effort for development and, in turn, cost savings.

Web professionals rejoice!
