<p>It has been crazy times at work recently. I am in the process of slicing three sites at the same time. In all the madness, this is what I found interesting last week:</p>
<ul><li><a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/06/02/the-missing-link/">The Missing Link</a>
<p>I love that we have Eric Meyer fighting on our side. Eric discusses how the <code>href</code> attribute should be allowed on many elements instead of a few. He even goes on to <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/html-xhtml/html5-linking.html">show examples</a> and discuss the pros and cons.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.alistapart.com/issues/260">A List Apart: Issue 260</a>
<p>Another couple of solid articles from A List Apart: <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/writingainterfacestyleguide">Writing an Interface Style Guide</a> and <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/savingthespark">Saving the Spark: Developing Creative Ideas</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/comments/design_isnt_about_tools/">Design isn’t about tools</a>
<p>This was kind of the end of a great discussion from <a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1061-why-we-skip-photoshop">37 Signals</a> and <a href="http://jeffcroft.com/blog/2008/jun/04/why-we-dont-skip-photoshop/">Jeff Croft</a>. I think I agree with most of Jeff’s points. I think it definitely depends upon the product that you are trying to make, and I think 37 Signals has nailed down their simplistic style, so Photoshop is not necessary.</p>
