Building Blocks

I was working on a small freelance project today and came to the realization that when it comes to web junk, I tend to enjoy the coding more than the Photoshopping. This site is a prime example; it uses perhaps six images, 4 of which originated from the same …

Time-out

Another year gone. Today marks the beginning of my 26th year, when I officially enter my late mid-twenties. What better way to celebrate than with macro shots of watches that I never wear?

This is it.

First things first. Here’s version 11, and it’s in beta. Which means that if you see anything you think is awry, let me know. If possible, a screenshot and the url of the afflicted page(s) will help immensely.

Worth

De-Click

PDF drew my attention to DONTCLICK.IT, an interactive experiment in UI design. Basically it’s what the name implies: don’t click. One click will launch the site for you but after that, everything is accomplished with mouse movement and keystrokes.

Forward

What’s going on? Where are all the words, and the pictures?

Classic

Finally! ABC is no longer alone in providing programming to the iTunes Music Store — as of today, NBC and USA (edit: SciFi too!) have joined the team. The offerings are nothing overly exciting but it’s nice to see that the concept may be winning people over. …
