This deals with some issues I’m having with the seekbar of a player. The seekbar is the area that displays the video time as a bar that shows your current position/percentage of the video, it can also display the loaded portion of the video among other things as well. Including the video players I’ve made, [...]
Software for viewing websites through a simulated fovea vision. Since not everyone could set-up, let alone afford a real eye-tracker. This software uses the mouse pointer as the user’s focal point, or foveal view. It blurs everything except where your focal point (the mouse) is. It is helpful because it forces you to re-think web [...]
The flash video player designed and developed for Free IQ and StomperNet. Plays video and audio content for a user. I implemented 85% of the actionscript, creating intuitive interactivity and functionality. External xml plsylist, author biography display, content details, share by email, social bookmarking, get embed codes, and more. Sleek design for maximum intuitive user [...]
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.

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). [...]

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. [...]
