New Freebie: Parallelism

Parallelism is a new responsive site template freebie for HTML5 UP. If you follow my work you might recognize it as a design I posted to dA a few months back but, due to time constraints on my part, didn't graduate past the mockup stage until recently. In any case, it's done, so here's how it works: simply drop in your thumbnails and the template will not only resize them to create nice, uniform, masonry-like rows, but also adjust the number of rows to fit the viewport size (bigger = more rows, smaller = fewer rows). Pretty cool eh? CCA licensed like all my other stuff, so demo/download it for yourself here.

Yet another site redesign

And once again, a minor redesign of this very site. Two notable changes: 1. there's a new Freebies section that brings together all of the free design stuff I've made, and 2. 5grid is now officially retired and replaced with its much improved successor skel.js.

New responsive HTML5 template: Escape Velocity

This is Escape Velocity, a free responsive HTML5 site template for HTML5 UP. I've been experimenting with "flat design" (almost a cliche at this point, but anyway ...) and figured I'd take it in a slightly different direction. Turned out pretty nice, and the feedback has been positive over at deviantART and even my often-neglected Dribbble account. […]

$.browser on jQuery 1.9.x for legacy IE detection

I get why jQuery removed $.browser in 1.9.x, but in practice I still need it to detect and work around old versions of IE. The following snippet will bring back $.browser.msie and $.browser.version on jQuery 1.9.x, but exclusively for detecting IE.

jQuery.browser={};(function(){jQuery.browser.msie=false;
jQuery.browser.version=0;if(navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE ([0-9]+)\./)){
jQuery.browser.msie=true;jQuery.browser.version=RegExp.$1;}})();

5grid 0.4.3 Released

Minor release. Fixes some minor bugs and one major (but very difficult to reproduce) bug that affected certain iOS users on certain types of 3G connections. Yeah. That was a fun one to track down. Anyway, download it here.

5grid 0.4.2 Released

This is a minor (but important) update to 5grid. Bumps it to the latest version of jQuery (1.9.1) and replaces the few (deprecated) $.browser calls with stuff that actually works with 1.9.x. Download it here.
