Just realized @sushimonster‘s CSS talk is at the same time as the web app framework panel with @malcolmt. Agrh! Choices suck! :)

I don’t think it’s THAT similar. I say go for it. It looks great!

Integration of accessibility is a good idea; sadly, I just don’t have time to cover that as well. :( Thanks for coming!

Did I do that? I certainly didn’t intend to, if I did! I’m all for accessibility, and think it and elegant type can co-exist!

Color contrast is imperative for everyone. It’s the smallest EFFECTIVE difference. Clearly, too low of contrast is a problem!
