I have to admit, it wasn't love at first sight (I mean, just look at those tusks), but I'm now head over heels for Grunt. Grunt is a task runner that chugs along in the background and, with the right set of plugins, can be set to automatically combine and minify CSS and JavaScript files; check HTML, Javascript, and JQuery for errors; compile Sass to CSS; write browser-compatible code; and more.

Because there are a lot more moving parts, though, it can be a little tricky to integrate these scripts into a CMS like Drupal. In a recent project, I used JQuery UI's .dialog method to script a modal message.

lt's easy to recognize the artistry in a good book cover, but book interiors require at least as much attention. In this case study, I explain my process for the interior design for an anthology of the best fiction and poetry published in New England.

Champs Not Chumps is an audiopodcast featuring interviews with people who are pursuing creative, social, or intellectual projects.
