More amazing Flash-like Javascript/HTML….
Oh yeah, here it is again. I was looking for this site but didn’t remember the name. So I blogged the bastard. HA!
And the site’s cousin: http://schillmania.com/ (WITH ROUNDED CORNERS!!! AHHH!!!)
Nice motion and smooth transitions.

Ok, dammit, this sounds good. Not ideal, but good.
I saw this link while I was voyeuristically browsing through a blog of anonymous secrets.
This post really struck me.
I, and, I suspect, most people in our Western culture, are so self-centred, time-focused, and scared of emotional complication, that we would loathe to waste 2.5 hours on some “emotionally needy person”. Or, we would prefer to let someone else handle it. Someone with more time.
2.5 hours. Sounds like a lot.
2.5 hours of simply being available and accessible could end up saving a beautiful person’s life. Is that too long to stop thinking into the future and simply exist in the present? Would you spend 2.5 hours just being nice to someone you didn’t know, and speak some hope into their darkness?

‘Cause clients still want ye olde HTML email, we sometimes have to break the rules. I’ve found this to be a good resource over the years when it comes forgetting all the standards-compliance mark-up I’ve drilled into my head.

* read childrens’ books

* played wizard of oz

Stephen from Engine Digital MSN’ed me this morning with a link. Against my better judgement, I’m going to install this new “web 2.0″ browser demo: http://www.flock.com/. We’ll see how it goes…

From this lovely site that claims to have some fuzzy logic apps for Flash somewhere… http://www.2112fx.com/blog/
Since the founding of Mod7, I’ve implemented a variety of collaboration applications both for internal studio use and for communication with external teams, freelancers and suppliers. From inhouse custom-built Perl applications, to MS Project Central, to BaseCamp, and, most recently, the opensource phpCollab variant, NetOffice, the end result has nearly always been the same: by the end of the project, the team always reverts back to good ol’ email.
Slashdot pointed me to this great article on why email is still the most preferred collaboration tool, and it certainly got me thinking (and soothed my manager-ego somewhat). Interestingly enough, the article was written by a company that builds collaboration tools.
There are lots of books in my ‘to be read someday’ library at the office. This one, written by usability consultant Steve Krug, sounds interesting and may get into the library if I’m not careful.
* built pillow fort
* played with Barbies (and kind of liked it)
* played video games
* assembled Barbie puzzles
* shopped for girl’s bikes
* read stories
* sang songs, accompanied by my terrible guitar playing
Uh, this is my first blog entry.
I hate blogs, but I also hate cell phones, email, HTML, coding, and Germans. Yet, they are all necessary evils. Especially the latter, since those dudes are the reason I’m here today.
Anyway, blogs are NOT a necessary evil, but I am coming to terms with the concept of posting inane opinions, private information, and stupid observations (rife with mispelings) that no one with a real life reads anyway. And the people who religiously WRITE blogs have even less of a life. Kind of like those people who spend their whole vacation taking photos of their vacation to prove that they went on vacation, but don’t get their eye out of that viewfinder long enough to actually LIVE their vacation.
Hey, was that my first blogged RANT? Cool! I’m finally getting hip to this whole blogging thing.
