Wall Hanging Jan 9, 12, 2:34 p.m.
Just moved into a new place, looking for something large, white and interesting to go above my couch, on a grey wall. Could be a sculpture, a painting, a large print.
Open to any ideas.
WTF Jan 5, 12, 1:31 p.m.
Have a client who insists on using this weak ass script font over some photos on their photo portfolio site. Pretty lame, but eh, I'm in no mood to fight it:
Google Sign-up Dec 23, 11, 2:51 p.m.
Nice new sign-up page/process. Kind of funny though, you enter all the info on the 1st step, hit Next, and suddenly you're at step 3 and complete.
Also, what's up with the huge Google Wave logo vs. the other core apps? Strange to see Wave—on its way out—larger than YouTube, Gmail and G+.
Fuse/Swedish House Mafia Dec 16, 11, 8:14 p.m.
It must cost a shitload of money to get YouTube to host your video AND remove their branding from the sub-area site temporarily.
Woodcut Imagery Dec 15, 11, 7:55 p.m.
Any good resources for finding older illustrations/woodcut/diagrams that are in public domain or free to use?
Keynote for iPad Dec 14, 11, 7:41 p.m.
Did some poking around and couldn't find a definitive yes or no to this question.
If I create a Keynote presentation on my iMac, will the iPad version support ALL of the animations types? The app description in the App Store is vague enough that I could assume each answer is correct.
I am doing a preso for our sales team to use in our other offices, and we don't have an iPad sitting around right now (we gave them all to the sales team, doh).
Thanks for any info.
SEO Question Dec 14, 11, 8:03 a.m.
I know a fair bit about SEO, but I've run into an issue that I hadn't really thought about before.
I was analyzing inbound traffic to my site, and it appears that a lot of traffic (17%!) seems to be coming from mobile devices. So I pulled up my site on mobile and realized that my mobile redirect script is keeping users who use search strings via Google from hitting sub-pages to my site (projects specifically), therefore I'm not getting the overall correct PageRank for those sub-pages thanks to this mobile setup.
For example, a typical user might search for a string related to some project I've done (in this case, "bloom", such as the one that follows (4th or so link from the top to DM.com) http://anonym.to/?http://www.goo…
On mobile, when they hit that page, I can't tell if it's registering the actual page visit, or if the re-direct is executing so fast that the page visit isn't counted, and instead I'm not getting any weighted value for these types of searches.
Thought I would throw this out to the masses... I am about to knock out a new site, and don't want to make the same mistake if I am doing this wrong.
Thanks in advance.
.AN Domain Nov 17, 11, 2:39 p.m.
Not having the best of luck finding info on registering .AN domains. Anyone in the Netherlands that can assist me with local presence—I'll compensate them for their time and assistance?
Is this TLD even still around and able to be registered, or is it deprecated?
Streaming Oct 22, 11, 1:12 p.m.
Having some fun this Saturday with my housemate, and we're trying to figure out how we can get Serato (in our basement, in the dance area), through to our Airport Express, so it can be playing upstairs as well during our Halloween party. Any suggestions?
We setup Rogue Amoeba's stuff and got that working, but after looking into streaming, it doesn't seem like there's a way to do this on the iPhone or iPad.
Disappearing Oct 22, 11, 10:48 a.m.
Do you think it's possible to disappear anymore? I'm talking abandon bills, car, student loan payments, etc and go hide in a foreign country.
Flag Pros Oct 19, 11, 12:53 p.m.
Was driving down the street yesterday and saw this company had a really nice, minimal logo and truck design. Decided to take a look at their website, and wow, my eyes almost broke. Welcome to '99, people. When our company very politely called and emailed then about their website, they said, "We are very happy with the way the website looks, and it is exactly how we want it to be."
Something tells me the owner's son created this monstrosity.
Browser Baseline Oct 18, 11, 12:28 p.m.
A lot has changed with browser adoption, and I frankly haven't kept up. Firefox still has the lion's share, so what is your lowest common denominator these days?
FF:
Chrome:
Safari:
Opera:
IE:

Brazil Trip Aug 14, 11, 10:36 p.m.
Heading to Brazil for Christmas this year to see some of my fiancées family for about 8 or 9 days.
What are the must-see destinations for:
- Art scene?
- Beer?
- Music?
- Historical monuments?
QBN Snippets Jun 9, 11, 10:03 a.m.
Any interest in a Dribbble-like thread where we can all share stuff we're working on that we can't necessarily share out to the world in full?
PDF to iMovie Jun 3, 11, 1:04 p.m.
Client has a very fixed budget. They need a looping DVD of a bunch of JPGs that auto-runs and auto-plays.
They gave me an InDesign file with each JPG on a separate page (fail, I know).
Is there a way I can quickly bounce these pages to JPGs so that I can quickly dump them into iMovie and create a DVD loop.
Not trying to go the route of copy and paste from InDesign to PSD, then saving out each JPG...
Extra Work May 9, 11, 12:27 p.m.
Got some extra CSS/HTML/Wordpress work that is overflowing from clients. Need someone to dump this stuff out onto regularly.
Drop me an email if you are ready to rock. Need someone to get started right away, as in, this afternoon/evening, tomorrow morning at the latest. Have one small project that needs some minor edits and attention, and several others coming in the very near future (read: before the end of this week).
Soles for the Soul May 5, 11, 4:58 p.m.
Came across this guy through a friend via Facebook. Tried talking him into some design/development work, but I think he is working with someone already.
Talking my order through right now with the guy. Seems real nice and really into really believes in what he's doing. Kinda geeked about my pair: black Ares with the front panel in a dark grey.
