Recurse alternative Feb 1, 12, 4:43 a.m.

Anyone know any alternatives to Recurse?

http://www.recurseapp.com

For previewing designs in the browser... Basically overlaying a main image over a tiling/stretching/hex background.

Recurse has been great up until recently but is becoming increasingly unreliable. Server down, server errors etc.

Chrome and youtube Dec 13, 11, 1:12 p.m.

Just started using Chrome as Safari keeps crashing.

When I open a load of youtube videos in new tabs it plays the video before I open the tab. How stupid is that?

Is there anyway to get it to only load the video once I open the tab, like safari does?

Seems like a stupid oversight to me, unless I'm missing a preference somewhere?

Cheap tablet/laptop advice Dec 13, 11, 5:23 a.m.

My Mum's laptop has stopped working apparently and thought I'd get her something for Christmas.

ALL she does on it is check her email, do the odd google search and store her photos from her camera so it doesn't need to be anything fancy.

Can anyone suggest a cheap (but half decent) laptop or maybe a tablet? I like the idea of a tablet but do they generally come with a usb port? Maybe I could get her that and an HD for her photos.

Not looking to spend much more than £200 ideally. No idea about this kind of market so not sure if thats reasonable or not.

Any suggestions mucho appreciado !

Lumix LX3 vs Olympus XY-1 Dec 4, 11, 1:14 p.m.

Should I get a Lumix LX3 or an Olympus XY-1 ?

Both seem like great little cameras and both get good reviews so I reckon I'd be happy with either... It's just for personal use and probably won't even make full use of it anyway (in terms of all the settings and customisations). I'm mainly a point and shoot type of user but would be nice to have something with capabilities.

Be nice to hear any opinions on either or

:-)

Looking for an image, it's a cartoon character and he's lying on his back, floating, speech bubble that says 'NO'

I'm sure one if you will know it...

Help me out

Anyone have any examples of sites that go wider than 1000px ?

1140px seems to be slowly becoming the new 960px....

43,000 Galaxies May 27, 11, 2:35 p.m.

This is What 43,000 Galaxies Look Like On a Map.

The image above is the most complete map of our local universe to date. It took more that ten years to create, has 43,000 galaxies and extends out 380 million light years from the earth. The 3D coordinates of each galaxy was recorded so the raw data could potentially be used to build a realistic 3D model of the universe. Throw in some holographic technology and you have something straight from Star Trek.

Euthanasia Rollercoaster Apr 20, 11, 5:30 p.m.

It’s a ride definitely not for the faint-hearted—a PhD candidate in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art has designed a hypothetical rollercoaster meant to kill.

Julijonas Urbonas created his coaster as a hypothetical euthanasia machine; it will, he claims, take lives as humanely and euphorically as possible.

I'm Comic Sans Mar 21, 11, 8:40 p.m.

Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.
You don’t like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don’t like that I’m all over your sister-in-law’s blog? You don’t like that I’m on the sign for that new Thai place? You think I’m pedestrian and tacky? Guess the fuck what, Picasso. We don’t all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire world can’t all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once.
People love me. Why? Because I’m fun. I’m the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business’ website? SMACK. Like daffodils in motherfucking spring.
When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there, unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I’m banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing the clarinet, I’m shredding “Reign In Blood” on my double-necked Stratocaster. While Univers is refilling his allergy prescriptions, I’m racing my tricked-out, nitrous-laden Honda Civic against Tokyo gangsters who’ll kill me if I don’t cross the finish line first. I am a sans serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you.
It doesn’t even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I’m famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking Bob. I’m in your signs. I’m in your browsers. I’m in your instant messengers. I’m not just a font. I am a force of motherfucking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.
Enough of this bullshit. I’m gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.

Interface Design / User Experience Mar 4, 11, 2:43 a.m.

I am researching interface design and user experience. How things are perceived in design, what works well and why, the psychology of user experience, all related material...

Anyone recommend any interesting and informative books on such or similar topics?
