A comment from an article about cars that drive themselves:
“Everybody seems to be ignoring the 800 lb gorilla in the room. I have enjoyed this series of articles but have seen no mention either in the article or in the comments about why I think we will get autonomous vehicles sooner rather than later.
Freight. By weight, 80% of all goods sold in the US are transported by trucks. Because of the sheer number of trucks on the road, the amount of money saved by (i) the increased fuel efficiency of an AI driver and (ii) the increase in number of hours an individual truck can be operated, would be staggering.
Forget cars. Autonomous Trucks is where the money will be made and where we will see the greatest benefit.”

Here’s my pitch. This…

Because this style borrows many elements from print design, anyone who has worked only in Web design may find it difficult to change their way of thinking. Rules of typography and white space, for example, may throw you off. But practice makes perfect, and an endless supply of inspiration can be found in creative magazines.

Fire up Chrome and in the address field type “huffduffer.com” followed by a space and BOOM! …the address field transforms into a site-specific search field: “Search Huffduffer.”
The web gets more interesting daily thanks to tiny agreements like this one: If you have markup named _________ and structured like _________, clients can use that information to create a richer information experience.
