On December 10th, I officially started working independently. I keep meaning to get this posted, but the past three weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind with the holidays and a few training sessions mixed in. To say I’m leaving an excellent job behind is an understatement. The position was flexible. The people I worked with were smart, talented and fun.

The conversation has evolved, but I still have concerns about how parts of the process were handled. ## Media Query & Asset Downloading Results.

Back in October, I talked about the problem we have of blaming the technique instead of the implementation. I mentioned several examples, but the one that really prompted the post was the myth of responsive design equaling bad performance. The folks over at 24 Ways were kind enough to let me dig a little deeper into the issue. It’s sort of an extension of what I was driving at back in October (as well as what I was whining about in January ), but with some concrete suggestions.
