I gave a talk at OSCON yesterday on YUI CSS, Making the hard stuff fun and easy with YUI CSS, and it went pretty well. Thanks to Nate for all his help and to all you gorgeous OSCON geeks that came to see my talk! Did a Perl Lightning Talk this afternoon and came SO close to finishing before the gong! :-)

The week here has been so much fun, I can't believe it. I met Leah of Pownce, Noel at Intel, Mike from rData, and hung out with lots of old friends that I only get to see once a year. Portland is a beautiful, crafty, eco-friendly town with great good, good bars, fantastic public transportation.. *sigh* Would be nice to move here one day!

I recently redesigned webchic.net and wanted to tweak the design to look good on the iPhone. While my first thought was to use a JS style switcher triggered by the iPhone's unique WebKit referrer, I decided on a much simpler solution for now.

<!--[if !IE]>-->
<link media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)"
    href="iPhone.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<!--<![endif]-->

Ultimately, only browsers that recognize screen will understand only, and only the iPhone fits the category of max-device-width: 480px.

On a related side note, I've notice a lot of developers reciting "browser width 320px" in regards to iPhone development. This is a little misleading, since the tilted, horizontal iPhone screen is much more popular when surfing websites and is 480px wide.
