As a semantics nazi, I've always been uncomfortable with using all the non-semantic classes that all the javascript libraries force us to use. For instance, .ui-tabs-hidden. Really? There has got to be a better way to do this stuff.
Since my first dribbble, I ended up dumping almost all the code I had written and decided to start over. So far, despite using some pretty heavy libraries, I've achieved about a 5% overall reduction in page weight while also seriously improving the typography. I really wish we'd get paid to bring a project to near completion, completely toss it out the window and start over again. The second time around is always much better.
Indeed! I've been looking for projects to fit it with ever since I saw it on Typekit.
I've been hesitant because I don't want to just use it anywhere. I've wanted to do it justice with a project where it would be able to stand up and proudly declare its history as the voice for a preeminent record of world events.
