This is the first in a series, of experiments I’ll post starting from this code and pushing different things each time. They’ll [...]
The world has been excited by html5/css3 recently and has been pushing limits and experimenting. It’s been exciting and funny at the same time – most of the things that are amazing people in html5 experiments have been done 5 years ago in flash. I’ve enjoyed it so much though because it has brought me [...]
I’ve been busy hardening and improving my video player lately and had so many updates for it I decided to upload it to activeden as a new file altogether. After some final bug fixes and testing it’s been approved for sale. I think it’s a huge improvement over the last video player. The video playing [...]
The simple trick here is to make the browser think that the image file is new. Most web professionals know that browsers will cache and image and remember it’s url and then if you try to access that url again it will show you the image you already downloaded rather than getting a new copy [...]
I just realized that I hadn’t updated the site about it, but I’m now (since a couple months) interactive designer/developer with Redworks, subsidiary or Ogilvy & Mather in Atlanta! I’ll be doing all kinds of interactive designing and programming, specifically with flash and I’m stoked to be waist deep in Flash and as3 daily. What? [...]

I never expected it, but one of the most popular (most commented) posts on this blog is a javascript post from about 3 years ago. I was showing how to hide and show elements on a web page with some simple javascript using getElementById and altering the display or visibility attributes of the element. It [...]

Zero images is something that always gets me excited, I really like these arrow button styles! I like the css used more and the hover/active states too, nice css3 transitions. via Adobe-like Arrow Headers | CSS-Tricks.
After playing with the settings in my experiments I found a few settings I liked and wanted to develop further. The first was snow! An added bonus I was able to work on a project just for the holidays and used much of this code in it! I looked around the web and saw a [...]

We can use various means (server-side, client-side, mobile-first, html5 data attributes, cookies…), but none are fully satisfactory, especially with new browsers prefetching images before cookies can be set or html is even fully read and parsed. He states that bandwidth sniffing is… a [...]
