Great Rachel Hines interview with Duplex Gallery. One day I went into my studio, order filled with anxiety and emotion. I couldn’t process my feelings verbally or visually, malady so in a frustrated moment, I began to scribble. The racing thoughts made my hand work very quickly and fervently. I worked with my right hand…

InfoWorld’s Matt Asay examines the popularity and power of Angular.js and mulls over whether or not it’s ready for prime time. I’ve argued that it may be necessary to break the Web to keep up with the pace of Web innovation. Nene Bodonkor, a mobile Web developer, for example, posits that frameworks may be so…
