Mac OS X Browsers Benchmarked

http://macintalk.com/2007/03/31/mac-os-x-browsers-benchmarked/
"Mac users have more browsers to choose from then any other platform. The question is, which one delivers the most performance? Last year we tested four of the most popular browsers and found that OmniWeb (which uses a tweaked version of Apple’s WebCore engine) and the WebKit nightly build more or less tied on the test suite."

Frank Miller must be an online entrepreneur in his spare time because 300 is the perfect metaphor for online business.

nikon: universpace (All the glory of the universe, in a single Flash app)

http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9703575-1.html
http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/feelnikon/discovery/universcale/index_f.htm
"Every few months, I come across something on the web that completely blows my mind. This morning, a friend of mine sent me a link to Nikon's Universcale web app. It puts the entire universe into proportion, from the smallest particle to the largest measurements of space.

From the femtometer to the light year, Universcale spans 40 magnitudes of measurement into a single cosmic web app. It's really amazing when you zoom all the way out into stars and galaxies and realize that every time you go a magnitude higher, everything you saw before, from the flea to Mount Everest, is contained in this tiny little grid in the lower-left side of the screen. Of course, the Carl Sagan-should-be-narrating-this planetarium music helps."

copyblogger: Zen and the Art of Remarkable Blogging

http://www.copyblogger.com/zen-and-the-art-of-remarkable-blogging/
"The 1974 bestseller Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance begins with the following disclaimer from author Robert Pirsig:

“[This book] should in no way be associated with that great body of factual information relating to orthodox Zen Buddhist practice. It’s not very factual on motorcycles, either.”

Likewise, this article isn’t going to teach you much of anything about Zen Buddhism, and absolutely zero about motorcycles. But I hope it does provide some insight into effective blogging, or, at a minimum, gets you to think differently about your current notions regarding content and the attention you seek with it."

Zoom In: Adobe Photoshop CS3: Top 5 Standout New Features

"Upon first digging into Adobe Photoshop CS3, a few features have really popped out at me as incredibly useful. I would like to offer a brief overview of some of these new ways of attacking your creative challenges using the latest version of Adobe's flagship app. PsCS3 will run you about $649 to buy it outright if you do not own any previous versions. If you own Photoshop 7, CS, or CS2, you are eligible for upgrade pricing - looks like $199 for the upgrade. Check Adobe's store on their website for more info. For more information about what comes in the different versions of CS3, and what your suite configuration options are, see my previous post."

This is not a company I had tried before (I generally drink Ito En) but the packaging was so cool I could not resist. I ended up with the Darjeeling, but there were a few other options available.

While the tea is good, I have to admit I was more impressed with the product design. The tea is not loose, rather it comes in 14 single-serving packages. Nothing too unique, until you check out the bags…"

Pixelbreaker: Blog and Flash work

AWESOME Flash/design work/blog, in particular, the new "Polar Clock Screensaver" is fantastic.
"

These days, I’m predominantly an ActionScript developer, but I also work in JavaScript / AJAX, PHP and am tinkering with Ruby and other technologies in an effort to keep atop new technologies.

I recently left de-construct after being head of the Flash development team there for three years. Prior to that I was at Tonic for a couple of years, again as a Flash developer. My career in web started way back in 1997 at deepend design, where I was a Web developer for 3 years, and worked on very early dHTML sites and also worked with Perl/PHP etc.

I am now freelancing and working on a broad range of flash projects, I’ve worked on fully-fledged applications, games, microsites, and global multi-lingual brand and campaign sites.

My personal projects at present include porting my existing libraries to the new ActionScript 3.0 model, and a lightweight, but very detailed debugging tool for AS3 applications."

This has been a long-time goal – writing a book is something that’s been a goal of mine since I was in university. I’ve been published a few times in the past, both in print and on-line, but to write my own book has been a long-time goal. Actually, my goal is three books before I retire. So, this will be my first."

"Last October, few tears were shed when Ford ended production of the Taurus. The unlovely, workhorse sedan had been the company's best-selling unit for much of the 1990s, mostly because of huge sales to rental-car companies. Shutting down production was a sign that Ford, in the midst of a serious restructuring, was looking to the future. But then in February, Ford announced that it would resume producing a car with the Taurus nameplate in the summer of 2007."

These are just like audiobooks, except authors record them in podcast format, meaning they usually produce a new chapter every week published in an RSS feed. What has amazed me in the four months I’ve been listening to podcast novels is just the incredible quality of the content, which is, like any podcast, free."

"You get what you pay for - although not always!

I am what many would consider a power mac user. Not one that uses a Powermac, but one who uses Macs religiously and tends to know a lot about them. I have been using Macs since the beginning, in fact, before they were even called Macs. I started on an Apple II and actually began my graphics and web career on an Apple Lisa.

In all that time I have used thousands of different types of software. I’ve used everything from 3-D software to Photoshop and the Terminal. One of my favorite catgories of software is called “Free” software. I like it because it is FREE! This differs a bit from other types of Free Software that is more like free speech than just free as in free beer."

http://www.motherjones.com/news/featurex/2007/03/aftermath.html
"Has the war in Iraq increased jihadist terrorism? The Bush administration has offered two responses: First, the moths-to-aflame argument, which says that Iraq draws terrorists who would otherwise “be plotting and killing Americans across the world and within our own borders,” as President Bush put it in 2005. Second, the hard-to-say position: “Are more terrorists being created in the world?” then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld asked at a press conference in September 2006. “We don’t know. The world doesn’t know. There are not good metrics to determine how many people are being trained in a radical madrasa school in some country.”"

Mezzoblue: Icon Design: Sizing

http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2007/02/21/icon_design/
"I’ve been thinking a lot about icon design lately. As a way to get the hang of writing on this site again after the post-WDN lull, I figure it might be interesting to share some of the things I’ve been discovering. All going well, I’ve got two or three more similar posts in mind.

One of the more deceptively time-consuming things you’ll do when creating an icon is producing out size variations. If you require a single icon in more than one size, the time you spend designing the first size is only about two thirds of the work you’ll end up doing; the other third lies in tweaking it for different dimensions."

Monocle: Business: Q&A With the CEO of Lego

http://www.monocle.com/business/index.php
"Founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen, Lego started life in the wooden toy business. Derived from the Danish words 'leg' (play) and 'godt' (well), the company's play-well concept has turned Lego into one of the most recognised premium toy brands in the world, and one of Denmark's most iconic companies. An assault from the electronic gaming industry and evaporating play time in Lego's key age groups means that both Lego and its competitors are having a tough time on shop shelves.

Monocle Editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé talks to Lego CEO, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, at the company's innovation centre in Billund, Denmark."

Technorati 100: What's Hot in the Blogosphere

" Earlier this week Emre wrote about declining traffic on Technorati and considered the exit options for this blog vertical search and portal site. The challenge from Google Blogsearch is certainly serious. It is difficult to compete with Google on speed and breadth of the results. But Technorati is more than a search engine for blogs - it is also a directory and a popularity site. In this post, we tap into Technorati to review the current 100 popular blogs. We attempt to understand what is popular in the blogosphere today; and why."

So, I started searching the Internet for some code I could use. I'm a novice when it comes to javascript and php, so I was hoping to find some "plug and play" code, so to speak."

semoz: Put Your Best Foot Forward: 19 Gorgeous Website Footers

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/put-your-best-foot-forward
"Footers usually repeat the primary navigation and contain anything that is considered "the fine print," such as copyright information and a privacy policy. With the rising popularity of standards based design, they also have become the home for xhtml and css compliance badges. While doing a redesign for a new client of mine whose website lacked a footer entirely, it occurred to me how footers had become a faint afterthought when I put together a design. My footers are typically content barren and don't get a whole lot of design love. The most content-rich footer I ever created was probably for Avatar Financial, which contained a miniature site map and a bit of contact information. This made me curious - what are other designers doing with their footers? "

downloadsquad: How to print just about anything to PDF for free

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/03/06/how-to-print-just-about-anything-to-pdf-for-free/
"One of our favorite programs here at Download Squad HQ is Foxit Reader. It's basically a replacement for Adobe Acrobat. Foxit reads PDF files, and that's about it. But boy does it do it well.

Adobe Reader can take 30 seconds or longer to load, and tends to bog down Firefox or Internet Explorer when you want to open a PDF from a web page. Foxit loads in a snap and can handle almost anything Adobe Reader can. But the free version of Foxit won't let you create PDF files.

That's where doPDF steps in. It's one of a number of programs that installs a virtual printer on your machine. Now when you go to print a web page, word document, photo or pretty much anything else, you can save it as a PDF file. You can set the resolution to anything from 72 dpi to 2400 dpi, and the "printed" files are text searchable.

Sure, doPDF's not the only program that performs this function, but much like Foxit, it's free and it just works. Really well."

Papercraft differs from origami in that the final product is usually made from patterns cut out from paper and held together with glue ...

Since papercraft patterns can be easily printed and assembled, the Internet has become a popular means of exchanging them." [wiki]

LA Times: Starbucks' 'venti' problem: Expanding too far too fast can turn companies from offbeat to bland.

"COFFEE ADDICTS WERE SHAKEN, and stirred, recently when a memo written by Starbucks Corp. founder and Chairman Howard Schultz was posted on the Internet. Noting with a mixture of pride and horror that Starbucks has gone from 1,000 to 13,000 stores in 10 years, Schultz expressed regret over a "series of decisions that, in retrospect, have led to the watering down of the Starbucks experience and what some might call the commoditization of our brand.""

On the other hand, if you are a technology geek, and can use Google like the best of them already, then I suggest you bookmark this article.

"The United States is the most religious nation in the developed world, if religiosity is measured by belief in all things supernatural -- from God and the Virgin Birth to the humbler workings of angels and demons. Americans are also the most religiously ignorant people in the Western world. Fewer than half of us can identify Genesis as the first book of the Bible, and only one third know that Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount."

"My, oh my, has it been busy around here lately. Now, I’m pleased to announce the redesign of the AIGA website! AIGA approached Happy Cog to redesign their main organization website early last year and we leaped at the opportunity to work on this site, knowing many of the ways we could help bring AIGA’s strong brand and presence into a more relevant role online. For the uninitiated, AIGA is “The Professional Association for Design” (though up until a year ago, “AIGA” stood for “American Institute of Graphic Arts”), and functions as a non-profit organization for the promotion and teaching of design throughout the world. AIGA has long been the design organization, enjoying over 16,000 members throughout 55 local chapters and 150 student groups. For many, AIGA as an organization is synonymous with the Who, What, Where, and How of the design world."

I've been checking out new sites and web applications for many months now and I've put together my list of the best interface design examples I've found. Some companies/sites on this list may not be as "Web 2.0" as others (and I purposely chose not to includes sites based on design or design firms) but they still deserve the same recognition."
