That is a cool tutorial, and a cool web design to boot. Also, since I’m a Yooper, I positively laughed out loud at her bio: “Michigander (troll).”

I wish some websites had a UI as nice as the dashboard of the Chevy Volt.

Today I learned that no matter how indestructible the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium’s shell may be, it doesn’t stand up to being skipped across the pavement…

0 notesA quote from
Verizon’s Response to AT&T’s Lawsuit:
AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts.
Ouch. That’s not laying down the gauntlet, that’s putting it on and punching them in the face with it. This could end up being a legal fight worth watching!

OMG! You can’t load Visual Basic? Something that you absolutely don’t need to load my research paper? And you’re so concerned about it that you’re going to freeze up for 30 seconds, pop up this dialog, and then do that again, every time I open, save or quit? Gee, thanks, Microsoft Word 2007, for alerting me to this grave error in the most obnoxious way.

0 notesAn interesting article about people who care way too much about typography. I admit even I have those moments sometimes (if you see me in real life complaining about a font with X’s made of semicircles and lopsided lowercase E’s, you’ll understand).

The award for this week’s “so obvious and brilliant that it took the Internet fifteen damn years to figure out how its done” award goes to Leah Culver, who came up with the simplest, fastest, minimalist & most effective login form ever devised. The steps involved for the user:
- Put in the email address.
- Select either “I have an account” or “I’m new!”
- Put in a password and log in.
It’s brilliant because it involves no more additional work on the user’s part to create an account. Leah’s solution is about as painless as it can possibly get.
Granted, I would take a page from the Amazon login page and spell it out a little more for the less Internet-savvy, like by saying “Choose a password to create an account!” instead of just “Choose a password”. That’s just me being nit-picky, though. I hope to see more sites adopt this process.
Yet another well-written article about the state of typography on the web. If all the various file formats, standards and implementation options had you confused, this article will un-boggle your mind.
