Hi, my name is Tom.

When I’m not designing and coding, I’m taking artsy photos, trying to make music, watching boring documentaries, being skeptical, eating New Mexican food, and enjoying San Francisco.

But, let’s face it…I spend a lot of time coding. Current interests include:

  • HTML5 audio and video implementations as alternatives to Flash.
  • Progressive enhancement, taking advantage of CSS 3 capable browsers.
  • Web page performance and the work Steven Souders and Yahoo! have been doing.
  • Evolution of @font-face and the rent vs free models from TypeKit and, my personal favorite, Font Squirrel.
  • Following development trends and finding design inspiration on sites like Pattern Tap, Ajaxian, Zeldman, Smashing Magazine and a zillion others.
  • Hoping IE 6’s death is painful.
