Leiden, The Netherlands One of the conferences I've been really looking out for is Ready to Inspire. This brand new conference about the craft of web design, type and code is coming in December, at 'De Stadsgehoorzaal' theatre in the middle of historic Leiden, The Netherlands. There will be workshops, live music, meetups and parties. I'll be there and I hope to see and meet some of you there as well :)

One of the books I've been reading the past couple of weeks is "HTML & CSS, design and build websites" by Jon Duckett. I particularly chose this book because of its beautiful light design, clean layout, the way things are visually presented, and more importantly it's very well explained too. This book makes learning a dull technical matter like this more pleasant. It's a book for anyone who wants to learn to design and build websites, and needs a starting point.
Every year in September we celebrate another birthday for my partner in crime Authentic Jobs. It's pretty amazing that we are at the 7th year already. Regular readers will know by now that with each birthday we try to do some good and give something back. Last year we nearly raised $50,000 for charity: water.

The term 'slicing' makes me think about the early days of the web, but it's basically what we still do today, only in a different way. Sometimes we need to export a whole bunch of icons to png or jpeg. Wouldn't it be great if we could export, 50 or more icons, or other images, all at once in a matter of seconds? Now, that would save a lot of time! Thanks to Slicy we can…
