Tech Interview, TalkTeck.comMashable spoke with Håkon Wium Lie, the CTO of Opera Software and the inventor of CSS, a few weeks ago. It was a pleasure and an honor to speak with one of the true web pioneers.

Mr. Lie spoke with us about the history of CSS and why it’s important. He also showed us some of the new features that are in the CSS3 spec, like rounded corners, inset text and drop shadows. We’ve been writing about some of these new features, including the <video> tag (which is actually part of HTML5, but is often associated with CSS3) and web fonts over the past few months and we’ll continue to touch on more and more of these trends.

So much information is out there and so many new technologies and proofs of concept are appearing across the web that it can be difficult to keep up with what’s going on. For newer designers or developers, it can sometimes be scary to know where to start. That’s why it’s always good to talk to the masters — individuals who are setting the bar by building high-quality apps and sites — to see how they work, what tools they use, and what advice they have for others.

This week, we spoke with Travis Isaacs, a seasoned user experience designer and creator of Keynote Kung-Fu, who, in his words, specializes in “bridging the gap between visual and interaction design, information architecture and web development.”
