I haven’t tried it, but it’s promising that this is now possibly, even it it’s a very long process. Creating an app for the iTunes store should be possible from your OS of choice. I’m glad this is at least doable but not surprised that apple has made it next to impossible to create iOS [...]
This looks like a great service. Loks to server the same purpose as basecamp, but they’re working on even more features like a CRM. I’m always a fan of opensource projects too! Anyone using these guys yet? Even though I just got my team on basecamp, I’m gonna have to add this service to my [...]
Very impressed with these animations. Smooth and responsive. Link: Origami – (http://hakim.se/experiments/origami) from Hakim.se
Reminds me of a Harold B. Lee quote, “The most important of the Lord’s work that you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home” Link: Why I Go Home: A Developer Dad’s Manifesto | A Work in Progress – (http://adamschepis.com/blog/2011/09/15/why-i-go-home-a-dads-manifesto/#) from (author unknown) at adamschepis.com
Fancy Scrolling Sites from CSS-Tricks I’m really liking the creativity on some of these examples:http://sf-langstrasse.hvo.ch/page/ (I really like the option to do day vs night images)andhttp://www.newzealand.com/us/ Good idea to include screencasts for future reference too Chris! There’s another one we’ve been working on at the Jones Group as well. I should be posting about it [...]
I’ve neglected this site lately, 6 months to be exact. Combine busy times, new jobs, summer trips skipping the country and websites are sometimes the first to be neglected. But, I’m planning on being back. I want to shift towards sharing more links and quick tips, partly because reading the internet had become more of [...]
Proposals in the works for new media queries specific to touch enabled devices. Examples include pointer, which will differentiate wether the device has a fine or coarse pointer (finger vs mouse) and hover, which would say if the device supports hover states. I can see this being helpful and useful for building mobile friendly sites [...]
Jason explains the root of the problem and why no one has been able to devise a solution that makes everyone happy yet. The browsers (in their awesome drive to make browsing faster) are prefetching images and developers want to only use one image based on criteria the browser doesn't know until the layout is [...]
This post on creativejs picks apart how this doodlue was made. Nice they they are able to support HTML5 audio even if it is only supported on chrome and the rest fall back to – you guessed it – flash. Embedded Link Google Moog synth tear-down Yesterday we featured Google's web-based analogue synth Moog tribute [...]

New additions to the plugin directory include: favorites, incorporating support forums into it's own tab for each plugin as well as support stats being displayed! Great! I think we also need the ability to give plugins ratings and reviews (bonus points if it can be done from within a wordpress admin dashboard when installing plugins). [...]
Use zipf's short head to tune your website rather than redesign the whole thing. To make a website successful it needs to meet the needs of the users. Find out what those needs are by using the short head philosophy to equate most searched things as the biggest needs of the users. Use personas to [...]
Great article at a list apart discusing the state of the industry regarding responsive images. This picks apart the set attribute of the img element from a surprisingly objective view coming from someone so close to the picture element. Insightful discussion about the principle behind the proposals than the actual solution too. If the working [...]
A great developer story about the differences on what Git is vs other version control and what Git is not. This is how we should learn it. I heard over and over that it was distributed, but never grasped what that meant, so here are a few links and explanations that will help unlearn version [...]
I'm very excited to share the news that the tween library from GreenSock (hands down the best tweening library I used in flash) is not ported for use in javascript! This will be great! I missed that simple syntax from as3 when animating javascript, and now I can have my cake and eat it too. [...]
