This past weekend I attended a conference on what I would call the antithesis of web design. I spent my weekend in Two Rivers WI at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum, geeking out over letterpress at the Museum's third annual Wayzgoose Conference.

Pixo recently launched the new website for Disability Resources and Educational Services at the University of Illinois (DRES).

In the last few months, usage of Drupal 7 has finally started to tilt higher. After all, the Drupal community put its weight behind the #D7CX pledge. This community effort was designed to make sure all the popular modules would have a public release on the same day as Drupal 7 itself was released. This effort has improved the up-take rate and solved some of the problems with slow adoption of Drupal 6 after its release in February 2008.
