There’s a lot of similarity between the design world and the software development world. If only because the line between the two is caterpillar fuzzy. What interests me about both of them is their low startup costs - just a brain, a computer, a phone, and some experience.
Where does this experience come from?
From my perspective, […]
I happened across an announcement from a few days back that Dean Edwards had updated his IE7 script:
http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2008/01/ie7-2/
This is a script that Dean created several years ago to make IE6 more standards compliant. It was interesting at the time, but I never got around to using it.
This past week I’ve been dealing with some […]
Joyent just GPLv2′d Connector - their collaboration suite including; mail, calendar, lists, bookmarks, files, and tagging. I’ve been watching the Connector grow for a year or two now. While it never clicked with me [1], it always felt 1 feature short of being a Highrise - if not Basecamp - killer.
That missing feature was being […]
(Ed. Note: I had intended to expand upon this post some more, but figured that I best just get this out the door, as I may never get to it and I didn’t want the links getting too stale…)
Microsoft SharePoint seems to be penetrating all areas of the web as of late. It’s been around […]
Now that Freehand is officially dead I figure it’s time I start playing the field again and look for a new love. Here’s the list of potential candidates I’m aware of. Has anyone had a fling with any of these options? If so, please share your thoughts. And please add any that I’ve missed.
Adobe […]
Adobe abandons Freehand. Lest we forget Macromedia abandon Freehand when they released Fireworks. The last really good version was 9 (MS Word 6 good!). To me Freehand always felt more approachable, ‘alive’, Mac-like than the more stoic, snooty, Illustrator. As Adobe attention has shifted to selling to the Windows market - their Mac-ness has dramatically […]
Adobe officially Announced CS3 today, but I assume some of us have already had our peek at the new features they were rolling out in new versions of Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, etc. (Sorry Freehand and ImageReady Fans.)
If you managed to miss this somehow:

Go ahead and Preorder today, but I don’t think they’ve […]
Adobe has recently released its much talked about Apollo software, which is billed as “a development environment for developing cross-platform RIAs for the desktop.” This sounds REALLY interesting to me. I am also REALLY not a developer. So if one of you supersmart designer/developer types wants to try it out, I would LOVE to hear […]
I had a request today to set up a Sharepoint site on our network to publish photos of internal events. Sharepoint has a rudimentary photo gallery, so we figured that’d suffice. But then we got stuck on adding the right permissions and, well, Sharepoint is never easy.
Anyways, these are typically photos straight of a digital […]
So I’m a Flash Guy, but here’s my current dilemma.
Currently I have no site of of my own. I used to host JakeFreeberg.com off a machine at home, but that’s just a bad solution. It allowed me to play with WordPress and MovableType installs and learn a few things, I really need to put some […]
