July ‘10 Refresh: Same old, same old
We don't have much in the way of interest in any particular topics this month so I'm just planning a simple meeting to discuss whatever is on someone's mind. I'd be happy to talk through some of the topics previously discussed...
June ‘10 Refresh: Mobile Web/App Design & Dev
Let's meet and talk about web-based and native smart phone application design and development. With Apple releasing the goods on iOS4 and new devices hitting the market soon, it's a good time to talk about what's coming and what people are excited about.
We can also talk about the life of...
May ‘10 Refresh: Transcendent CSS & Housekeeping
Having not heard much in the way of topics or discussion for this month's Refresh I figured we'd congregate at the Taproom and brainstorm some topics and ideas and get a bit more organized about the next few months.

June '09 Refresh: An Event Apart Boston
It's been a busy month and some of the resources that have been helping me organize have been out of commission this month and so here we stand. It's now June 29th and I still don't have a venue to meet at to give any kind of presentation and most people aren't even aware that we're ...

Internet Explorer Gets The Boot
Those of us who design and develop on the web typically have a deep hatred for browsers that don't follow or respect web standards. For many of us today, the most common culprit is Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and even version 7. Many discussions have been had over this very...
April ‘09 Refresh: Content Management Systems

We are a different breed. Every day we use the internet to communicate to people in unique and ever changing ways. What yesterday offered us, tomorrow will use to rethink, rebuild, re-engineer and refresh what we know. In this regard, it's time we had a place to gather and d...
