Hi, I see you're using Internet Explorer

This website uses the newest set of web standards, which Microsoft unfortunately has not chosen to support so far. To best display my work, I have made the decision to not support Internet Explorer until it supports these standards.

To view this website, please use Firefox, Safari, or my personal favorite, Google Chrome. You will thank yourself, and the internet will thank you as well!

The Perfect Web Design App

July 28th, 2010 | Article Highlights, Blog, Development

Jason Santa Maria is calling for a new application that focuses on web design. While the web is a very young medium, especially when compared to print and television, it has been around long enough (and isn’t leaving any time soon) that a dedicated app is much needed.

404 – Page Not Found

June 7th, 2010 | Blog, TBG

So a fun tradition I have become a part of at TBG is the 404 Page. When a user goes to a page that does not exist on the website, they will be taken to a randomly chosen 404 error page (For example, go to www.barbariangroup.com/bflksj and you will be taken to a different page every time).
