This past weekend, we packed up two vans with six runners in each and headed up to the Canadian border to participate in a 200 mile relay over the course of 29 and a half hours. This is the third year that Fresh has competed in RAGNAR Northwest Passage, and the second time I was able to participate in the event myself. Anna and Amber took time out of their weekend to drive up, encourage runners, and help things run smoothly. While I technically ran similar legs more slowly this time, I had the privilege of being the team captain, and enjoying the reactions on my teammates’ faces as they completed legs and experienced RAGNAR for the first time.

Responsive design certainly isn’t a new concept, but given the surge in mobile and multiple device usage, we will see it emerge as the norm in 2015 for websites. With the surge into catering for the overwhelming use of mobile users and devices, there will be more scrutiny and focus on when to use a mobile site (often with m.domain) vs. mobile responsive site vs. mobile adaptive site vs. mobile app, or some combination of the aforementioned. While the benefits of a mobile responsive site will fit for most marketing websites, many big websites will have to weigh whether a responsive website (client side responsive) will provide a strong enough user experience. Mobile sites on a different m. sub domain and adaptive mobile sites typically focus better on mobile behavior because that is the focus whereas the mobile experience can get overlooked with responsive mobile sites.
