In 1918, William Strunk wrote in The Elements of Style “a sentence should contain no unnecessary words.”
A century later, it's still true:
Cutting word count in half doubles comprehension
Mobile content is 2x harder to read than desktop
Desktop reading is 20–25% slower than paper
Users read only the first 2 words of a paragraph as they scan down a page
Strunk didn't go far enough. Don't just “omit needless words”. Cut…

I've been assured that our holiday party last night made a well known mobile platform developer's holiday party look "really, really lame". Apparently that guest was having a good time. The MAD MEN theme, combined with wine, beer, and Rock Band, seemed to generate a crowd.

For us, it's also a short break at the end of a very, very busy spring…

Tonight we'll be attending the MITX Interactive Awards ceremony, because two of our clients are Finalists this year — EcoHealth Alliance and 406 Ventures.
(If you haven't heard of MITX, think of them as Emmies for the Web. There is lots of tough, well-funded competition.)
In previous years, we've created a themed video that plays during the show. This year, our clients are keeping us so busy that we had to bow out. So here's a retrospective of…

Today, Dave sent an informational email on our new deployment system, patton…
Robert: Is Patton named after the WWII US General?
Dave: Yes, because it deploys stuff.
Robert: Nice.
Dave: We could have called it patraeus, but nothing would get launched because we'd never remember how to spell it.
Robert: Also, the file system would keep launching new insurgent tactics while be backed by the database's corrupt permissions…
