Edge Web Fonts Reloaded
Edge Web Fonts just got a new home last week so I thought I should invite you all to its new home party. What’s the address? Here it is: https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts
The new website makes easier to find the right font; you can quickly sort the available fonts by language support, font type, or heading/paragraph suitability. Have fun!
My 7th Adobe MAX
I’ve just registered and grabbed my 2013 Adobe MAX badge. As I was staying in line waiting for my turn, I realised that this is actually my 7th Adobe MAX conference.
For me it all started in 2007 when I went to Adobe MAX Europe in Barcelona. Back then I was an engineer working on Flash [...]

9 years and counting
This post is not about technology so here is your chance to let this pass by and do something else. You’ve been warned
Around this time of the year I started my journey at Adobe, nine years ago. And what a journey it has been so far! I started as an engineer on a team that [...]
How to use the CSS Regions Polyfill
We are really interested in getting your feedback on the CSS Regions Polyfill. So I thought that having a simple example to get you started with this JavaScript library could only help .
This post assumes that you know what the CSS Regions proposal does and you have a basic knowledge of its syntax. If you [...]
How to write a polyfill
Last week we made the CSS Regions Polyfill public. I thought it would make sense to share the experience of creating this JavaScript library as this was my first Polyfill. Thanks to the process we used I think it went pretty well.
Planning the work
Before writing a single line of code I’ve spent a lot of [...]
Say hello to CSS Regions Polyfill
I am very happy (and proud 
) to announce that we’ve finally made CSS Regions polyfil public. This was something I’ve been working on together with my colleague Razvan Caliman and frankly we couldn’t wait to see it run freely in the wild.
Before going into bits and pieces of this JavaScript library let me explain [...]
Welcome to Open Device Lab
Last year some German dudes (Anselm Hannemann, Andre Jay Meissner, and Christian Schaefer) had an idea to organize a bit more the “open device lab” movement.
I guess it is only normal to have this “thing” coming from the Germans. It totally makes sense, doesn’t it? We could make fun about this all day long but at [...]

Test The Web Forward – Sydney edition!
After three successful events in 2012 on three different continents, Test the web forward conference is moving to unconquered territories, Down Under in summery Australia, which I reckon is very good.
If you are a poor soul living in the Northern hemisphere in a place that is under snow right now, then here is the perfect [...]
Brackets: How to add a new option to the menu
My first (and only one so far argh) commit to Brackets was about adding support for deleting the current line or current selection by using a shortcut. Once the Brackets team was OK with my code they suggested me that I expose this in the “Edit” menu as well to help with the discoverability of [...]
About web standards, speed, and time
If your work targets the web then it is almost impossible not to hear something like this: ”Man, the standards are moving so slow!” every now and then. Usually this introductory statement is followed by a second part that you wouldn’t say in front of your mom/dad/children.
Basically, the belief is that if there were enough [...]
Adobe Translation Center is live
My friends from the community translation team at Adobe have finally released their Adobe Translation Center for the rest of the world today. I am happy for them and I think it is something you will love too, especially if there are Adobe products that are not available in your language.
So why is Adobe Translation [...]

So what [...]
