additional silliness from Kermit. good for a giggle.

Neat! My wish list: an address entry box, which I don’t know if that’s any good outside the US, but sure would make it faster to use. (Oh, hey, he just changed the starting point from UK to North America & Europe all at once.)

“Only WinZip 10 or 11, however, can extract files from the resulting archive” — meager. ran into this at work.

via Shelley. Of course, now I know how to make my *own* shiny buttons and reflective text!
-
OMG so freaking crazy. But cool, kinda.
-
“In the past year, we at smashLAB have examined the experience we afford our clients.” — a candid examination of how designers can be better to/with their clients. Definitely something to learn from.
-
This looks very cool, but I don’t have all the right bits at work to make it go, alas. Might try later on my own site.
-
Clever. I miss getting Tom’s subscription to The Economist. (When he moved to PDX, it took a while for the address to change from the UWPC, where I was working then.)(tags: marketing)
-
from the comments: “how about an application that simulates to the color blind what the normal-sighted see?” interesting idea. (my last assistant was/is color-blind.)(tags: accessibility)
-
aha!

I remember a study about picky eaters & depressed moms a couple of years ago. And some people do not give up the pickiness. (If you ever want a rant, ask me abt my sis.)

another on the same idea.(tags: wordpress)

like a slo-mo fragmented sci-fi novel, by O’Reilly editor Simon St. Laurent. via Shelley.

Didn’t I see that on the West Wing once?

y’know, I think I could make one of these myself pretty easily. There’s a technique in one of my books for wire-wrapped stone spheres….
-
I don’t know…it makes me want to give Joe a hug or something.(tags: blogosphere)
-
cut to the chase: there’s a Goldilocks moment for intro text, where it gives just enough context to set the stage, not so much as to be dull, and not so little as to baffle.
-
jeebus christ on a stick. that’s a lot of colors.
-
think I might try this later.
-
Not for me personally. Also: $49 to get 18 years worth?!

from the comments: “the impression I get is that the only people that navel-gaze more than the people of Silicon Valley are the people of Silicon Valley who blog” heh. so very true.(tags: blogosphere)
-
yes. and this was true at Pierce, too. anywhere when you have the primary interaction with the customer via your lowest paid employee, these are issues.(tags: society creditunion)
