HTML 5 And its Importance in Mobile Advertising
What is HTML5? HTML5 is the latest version of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). It’s a cooperative effort between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG). The WHATWG began work on the standard in 2004 and the target date for recommendation is 2014. Why is HTML 5 gaining so much importance? Mobile is a part of everyday reality now and new models of smart devices are cropping up on a daily basis. These devices are being used for a wide range of applications and the diversity of use can be estimated by the sheer volumes of apps that can be downloaded from Apple iTunes and Google Play stores.

Adventures in 4k Panels
I am getting a super late start this morning because I am still in holiday mode at least until I go back to work tomorrow morning. Then thankfully I have a short two day week before I get back into holiday mode for a four day weekend. One of the things that I did over the break was obsess over 4k televisions and drive my wife insane. We both do this thing when we are researching a purchase, where we slowly shift into a mode where we cannot seem to talk about anything other than the thing we are delving into.

For me this tends to be technology… and for my wife this tends to be things like cars but regardless we have both had to go through this cycle for the other one.

MTG Arena Beta
Yesterday was of course the ninth anniversary of the Tales of the Aggronaut blog… and Wizards of the Coast got me a present. Roughly halfway through the day I checked my mail and noticed that I got an email from WotC inviting me to the closed beta of Arena… their attempt at making a modern Magic the Gathering client. The truth is Hearthstone has been eating their lunch for several years now due to its extreme accessibility. It also does the dual whammy of giving both a nostalgia buzz for magic the gathering and collectible card games in general… while delivering a fatal blow of world of warcraft nostalgia at the same time. It’s a good game… and honestly lately I have been playing quite a bit of the warrior rush deck, but even that said… it is no Magic the Gathering. There is just something about this game that causes me to follow the community and buy cards… even though I don’t get to … [Read more...] about MTG Arena Beta
