In my ongoing quest for the right information architecture wireframing tool - I have to thank TechMeme.com for introducing me to Gliffy.com.
Gliffy is a browser-based, Flash-drive diagramming tool, with the feel of a desktop app (i.e. fast and has both ‘File’ and ‘Edit’ menus). I spent a little time with it today and am quite […]
Up until a couple weeks ago, if we wanted prints of our digital photos we’d, well, hit ‘Print’. But, we’re moving and I packed up the printer when I packed up our offices. And we needed a couple dozen prints - quick.
This was the slickest buy-online-pick-up-in-store experience I’ve had since last-minute Christmas shopping at Best […]
I’m writing the post on how to install a TiddlyWiki plugin so that there is a record somewhere out there on the internet for the next person that has to search Google to figure out how to do this. Apparently, there aren’t any instructions out there (at least none that Google can easily find).
Quick background: […]
It’s often useful to be able to grab a screen shot of an entire web page–including the portion of the page that is ‘below the fold’ for presentations/portfolios, etc. On OSX, there’s a great free utility designed just for this with Safari: Paparazzi. Windows users? Well, you have about 20 different options, all of varying […]
Coming through the ‘for:garrick’ del.icio.us tag this morning is the CustomizeGoogle Firefox extension.
It promises ad removal, spamblog removal, and direct links to Google Images.
With GoogleAnalytics non-functioning on Safari, I’m spending more time in Firefox. So, yeah, I installed it. Thanks go to Erik Haugo.
I finally got the Griffin iTrip working reliably with both of our cars (actually, it hurts to say we have 2 cars - but that’s a different post). I realized, every time I unplug the iTrip from the iPod, it needs to be reset. Since resetting is the annoying part, I just leave it plugged […]
A while ago I talked a bit about A List Apart’s new design and how they chose to go with an incredibly wide fixed-width layout.
A recent discussion on the Webdesign-l list brought this up and the debate ensued as to whether or not it was a good idea. To me, it’s just annoying, so I […]
I’ve spent a good chunk of my day trying to figure out how to get Windows 2000 to let me run 2 websites. Since Apache does this out of the box, and, if I recall correctly, was something even WebStar could do in OS8 eons ago, I just kind of assumed that was a basic […]
I recently crawled out from under a rather large rock, career-wise, and before I did so I made like the cool kids and got myself a Gmail account.
Oh, behold the glory that is Gmail.
Anyway…
Reading through a discussion on CHI-WEB or sigia-l (I don’t remember which), I noticed a nifty little text ad on the right […]
Jonathan Snook has launched a new web site: fontsmack.com. Fontsmack is a repository of read-to-go sIFR files. sIFR files are small flash files that can be uses with the Scalable Inman Flash REplacement method of providing an (almost) completely accessible method for using custom fonts on your web page headers and headlines.
