water and toothbrushes.

to go everywhere. - http://bradfrost.com/blog/web/for-a-future-friendly-web/

ITS OK TO DESIGN IT IN THE BROWSER
UX Design Code
The web’s greatest strength, is often seen as a limitation,
as a defect. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
It is the nature of the web to be flexible.
http://alistapart.com/article/dao

embrace this flexibility, and produce pages which, by being flexible, are accessible to all. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
The journey begins by letting go of control, and becoming
flexible. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
