the singularity of being and nothingness
singularityconcepts.com Relaunched!
Hey everyone!
Welcome to the relaunch of singularityconcepts.com! I am very excited to present my new design, something on which I've worked exremely hard for the last few weeks.
For first time visitors, let me introduce myself: my name is Joel Watson, and I am web designer/developer hailing from central Kentucky. Web design is a passion of mine, and I spend way more time than I should working to get better, discover new tricks, and just explore how to craft more immersive and meaningful web experiences. If you have a few seconds, take a look around, and if I can impose just a little on you, be sure to let me know what you think.
One final note: I love to blog about my experiences in web design, so be sure to grab the feed to this site's blog, and I definitely welcome any and all feedback on what you read, see or think.
Peace

On Becoming a Better Web Designer – Fancy CSS Selectors
about 16 years ago - No comments
Using CSS selectors is not a difficult skill–all of us who use CSS use selectors on every line of code that we write. However, as not as many know, there are more exotic selectors available. Blah blah blah. You can read all about CSS selectors at W3, and I don't want to rehash what has…

On Becoming a Better Web Designer – Project vs. Hourly Billing

One question among a million has plagued humanity for thousands of years, and still remains without an answer. No, it's not theological, and it has nothing to do with chickens and their alleged eggs. Rather. it is the question of whether you should bid out your next job based on number of hours or a…

Okay, I'm going to take a bit of a detour here from the "series-in-a-series" that I've been doing to quickly blog about an invaluable CSS trick that every designer needs to use as often as possible. So here's the scenario: You have a blog that's going to have pictures in it. The thing is, you…

So you've refined your HTML and CSS skills. Excellent. You've become a master of all things Adobe. Perfect. You can code a custom blog in your sleep (and have the code snippets to prove it). Good for you. So what's next? Well, unless you code only for the sheer enjoyment and self-actualization of it, you're…
On Becoming a Better Web Designer: Default CSS
about 16 years ago - 3 comments
When I got into web design, table-based design was already anathema. So for me, CSS was the most natural thing–it was the ONLY thing I knew. CSS made sense to me, and I really liked how I could granularly control the behavior of everything that I slapped on a web page. One downside to this,…
On Becoming a Better Web Designer, in 4-D!

Just over a month ago, I blogged about the benefits of unobtrusive JavaScript, and how it helps not only produce standards-compliant HTML and CSS, but additionally creates a framework for creating applications that is extensible and reusable. In this installment of this series, I would like to build on this idea a bit. As you…
Google Reader Shiny-ness, Part II

About a week ago, I mentioned my love of Google Reader, and how it contributes significantly to my web design process. Well, it got just a bit better for me today. While using Google Reader to follow one of my favorite blogs, I ran across a brand-spanking new AIR-based application that brings the functionality of…
On Becoming a Better Web Designer, Part Third

As I dive deeper into web design, the more I realize how critically important it is to learn from others. By this, I'm not simply talking about using others' advice for coding best practices, nor even about–gasp!–stealing code. What I mean by "learning from others" is to begin to develop a perspective of others' work…
