  My edge site featured on HTML5 gallery website 

  My experimental website edge.jakubpawlowicz.com has been featured on html5gallery.com – a place living on the edge of HTML and CSS technologies. Think that’s cool.

  Jar of jam 

  Tuesday, 1PM: buying a jar of apricot jam in Paris – delicious with bread or crepes;
  Tuesday, 4PM: putting it into my personal bag (mistake!);
  Tuesday, 7PM: guy from the security gate on the airport accused me of taking a forbidden jar of jam to the plane’s deck as I may throw it at the plane’s cockpit, open a window while flying and throw it into the engine or simply detonate onboard. Sure, I’m mostly known as MacGyver and could have used that jam as an ingredient of TNT which I could have made by mixing the jam with soap from plane’s toilet, ketchup from sandwiches, and cola sold by plane staff. But those smart bastards figured out my master plan…
  Wednesday: Figuring out if they have already detonated my jar of jam or disarmed the jam by consuming it.

  Conclusion: This is madness?! Madness? This is airport!!

  Living on the Edge 

  In the past months I have been experimenting with cutting-edge web technologies and in the same time I decided push my current website a little further.

  For the sake of the experiment the way I took a “top-down” approach in requirements by ditching all browsers older than 2 versions back which gave me a lot of space to play. One thing I always wanted to push to a working website was Canvas 2D API and it fit there perfectly. Also advanced CSS3 and HTML5 made their way into that new project and both proved its value.

  Enough writing. I would like to present you an “edge” version of jakubpawlowicz.com website which is now available under edge.jakubpawlowicz.com

  You may not notice a difference between edge and standard version at the first glance, but it was my aim to keep it looking the same while rebuilding the insides.
  I encourage you to dig it inside out, write down your comments, questions or suggestions and share them if you like the idea. Enjoy!

  PS) Internet Explorer is not yet supported. Work in progress.

    Maybe IE is supported now! (Google Chrome Frame!)

      That’s definitely an option worth considering however still in pre beta phase. It would be easier to maintain one codebase instead of patching IE once again…
