As mentioned in the previous post, I’ve had plans to discontinue this blog for a while. Today that moment has come, and this is my last post here. At the same time I’m embarking on a freelance career, and launching a brand new lensco.be!

Introducing bricss.net1
Lately I felt more like doing quick, tumblr style posts rather than long form pieces. And, in view of the fact that I mostly write about CSS/HTML stuff, the idea grew to start something anew. Enter Bricss.
