Apple’s nav bar is FUBAR’ed
There’s no site I can’t break!
If I could just get a job paying me tons of money to just break sites and report back all the breaks that would be fantastic because I’m REALLY good at it. I think I’m going to start posting all the sites that I “break”. It’s way more common than you might think with big name sites

A super talented dude, Chris J. Davis, is developing an app I am crazy excited about. A text-editor for the iPad that will do more than not suck. IT WILL BE RIDICULOUSLY COOL! Like anything else he needs some help to fund it. Lets help him out!

Pictos & Pictos 2 Rock!
So Drew Wilson is a buddy of mine but I gotta admit I hadn’t really checked out Pictos yet. I took a look at his Pictos Site and thought it could be a great set of icons (especially for the price).
Today I took a closer look and I freakin’ bought ‘em instantly. Right there on the spot. I thought to myself, “I will use these. I may not know what all for right now, but I WILL use them”.
If you make websites and want some icons, check ‘em out

Totally diggin’ this article AND the redesign from Brian Hoff.

Great list of what the guys working on Webkit are experimenting and pushing out there right now. They also list the properties that are available for Mozilla/Firefox but there is a lot less detail on those properties.
They also have a dead simple Color Picker that I decided I would use as a MenuExtra SSB (Single Site Browser) with Fluid. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve just wanted to pick a color this way without opening up Photoshop or using the Mac OS color picker
I’ve heard a lot of the numbers. I’ve been a person who has cursed at IE things that shall not be mentioned on this blog. The truth is it’s not going any where and if you are creating something truly useful that people are going to want to use and they are at the whim of an IT department that does not want to update one piece of software for thousands of computers just do your job. That’s what I finally realized.
I’m not happy with IE8, 7, 6, so on and so forth, but I can make things work in those browsers because I’ve been in a position where that’s where the revenue was coming from. Obvioulsy, being a forward thinker and someone who loves the new hawtness as much as anyone else I am perfectly happy knowing that a website may not look exactly the same in IE as it’ll look in Safari, Chrome, Opera, Firefox or any other browser that took the initiative to support advancing standards. As long as nothing is broken and the content is totally accessible as well as clearly layed out in all browsers then my job is done.
By the way, I’m not opposed to using this option either Universal Internet Explorer 6 CSS
I definitely agree with this article. The best user experiences I have found myself being wowed by have come from native applications built for the system.
I believe web applications do offer something that native apps don’t and that is mobile. When building a native application and choosing to deploy it it’s not usually just the flick of a switch to produce a mobile version that someone can view on their iPhone, Android phone, etc. With Web Apps comes the ease of optimizing a website for use with mobile devices in the browser. Not as powerful but still provides and option with a lot less barrier to entry for developers.
Of course developing for mobile devices vs. developing for desktops is becoming more unified with the iPhone OS and Android.
Most interestingly, neither of Gilt nor Groupon uses SEO to push their offers. In fact, traditional product offer SEO would kill their businesses. One of the reasons that the merchants can offer lower prices via these services is that the prices will not appear in Google searches and therefore…
Pretty interesting to hear that a company is essentially doing the opposite of what every SEO Guru preaches, but is truly profiting from it. Goes to show, every company/product is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all strategy.
