A Quick Look at Mobile Web Designs

Designing for Mobile isn’t exactly like design­ing for web.

It requires sim­pli­fi­ca­tion like never before. Where before we had to worry about what inter­net browser a user was surf­ing on, now we have to tar­get actual cell phones as not all allow sim­i­lar view­ing. This arti­cle explores some nice points about some basic prin­ci­pals and ideas for this ever grow­ing industry.

Mildred’s Kitchen in Liberty Village recants sexy bathroom idea

Mildred’s Kitchen had a widely pub­li­cized idea for Valentine’s Day week­end: Have sex in their bathrooms!

After mak­ing news through­out Toronto, then Ontario, then Canada and appar­ently mak­ing it all the way to the news across in China, they have recanted the idea stat­ing they were “only jok­ing”. I per­son­ally saw it on about 10 of my friend’s Facebook pages alone — that’s some pub­lic­ity stunt!

People in the Toronto com­mu­nity are com­ing together to help raise money for those in Haiti!

With plenty of speak­ers to help us learn more about what exactly is going on there and how we can fur­ther help, what more of a rea­son do you need to come? Aside from the edu­ca­tion of it all, there will be raf­fles and the oppor­tu­nity to net­work with oth­ers in the indus­try and throughout.

Lollipop Digital is a Silver spon­sor at the event and I will be attend­ing as part of their entourage in sup­port of this wor­thy cause.
