Posted to Keynote does Material Design, Jul 15, 2014 Super cool. I would love to see the Keynote file!
Posted to A Chinese ripoff of 500px, in reply to Josh Olsen , Jun 27, 2014 Wow...that's super blatant. Screw them!
Posted to Ask DN: What do you use to wireframe?, Jun 24, 2014 I hate wireframing in the formal sense. I typically like to work in black/greys/whites and basic shapes in my PSD...then start filling it out as the layout gets clearer. This way I can actually use my wireframe and layers for the actual final version.
Posted to Name your conferences!, Jun 23, 2014 I'll be going to Circles Conference.
Posted to Ask DN: Do you use Github for design assets?, in reply to Lewis Flude , Jun 19, 2014 They added PSD support to preview but still have a 100MB file limit. They still recommend to keep your PSDs outside of Github. This support is probably aimed at smaller, more specific, PSD asset files.
Posted to What mouse do you use?, Jun 11, 2014 
I have tried so many different types of mice. I have found gaming mice are the best because they usually offer precise control with no lag. The Mamba has been the simplest, most comfortable, mouse I have found to date. I have had several of them.
Posted to Ask DN: Do you use Github for design assets?, Jun 09, 2014 Github doesn't recommend storing PSD assets into git. They recommend using a 3rd party syncing/storage service like LayerVault or Dropbox: https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-my-disk-quota#large-media-files
They then recommend storing the actual asset files (exported PNG/JPG/etc.) files in git for the devs.
Apparently this is what the guys at Github actually do.
