Although I have a limited ability when it comes to creating websites, advancements like CSS Animation always interest and excite me. I'm quite anti-flash so when I see things like this1 made with HTML and CSS it's kind of confirmation that people need to think seriously …

An excellent download that brings BBC Radio into iTunes. It includes all the main national stations, but sadly doesn't include an local radio stations. I wish there was away of getting BBC Radio Nottingham into iTunes so I don't have to sit upstairs on my iMac to listen …

I'm not a big Tumblr user, but I do find the designs people come up with for displaying the different types of content quite interesting. The Tumblr Theme Garden looks like a great resource for showcasing all those different ideas and designs.

A nice fix for the FlickrRSS plugin if, like mine, yours suddenly stops displaying images.
A great little plugin for Safari. Clicktoflash, which is an actual plugin not an Input Manager, displays all flash elements on a page as a simple gradient for you to click and laod the flash item. I've tested it on a site I visit daily that gets very bogged down because …
I've just put the finishing touches to a slight realign here on the blog. It's something I've been meaning to do for some time but never quite got around to it.
I've kept the same basic look and feel around the place but made some better use of space and added a few …

Got to work this morning and found this sitting in my inbox. An ingenious piece of advertising. Wonder what it was like being there and seeing it.
The previous video sparked a discussion about cool things in large scale public places. This video of Grand Central cropped up. It's not advertising but it's still very cool.

Google launched a new toy today. The Quick Search Box looks good so far and the lead developer is the guy who was/is behind the magical QuickSilver so I have high hopes for it.
I had to wait til I got home to try it, but it's worked well for me. No crashes to report as …

Chris Bowler has another great article about Dropbox. He covers a way of using Dropbox I've been looking at, mainly as a way of gathering images. My only problem is that Dropbox doesn't currently sync Spotlight comments to Macs that didn't apply them. Still his article …
Jon Hicks goes through his design process for the iconography Linotype's new FontExplorer X.

If you've only just found this series of posts exploring how I keep my two Macs in sync you might want to look at the introduction of the series to help set the scene. In this post I want to explore the issue of keeping emails and contacts in sync.
Now I'm sure the …

An excellent message from Jonathan Pike about the reasons he creates.
We can all, as Christians, be guilty of trying to do things for our own merit and it's important to stop, take note and realise that as Christians it should be God we are doing it for. In our hearts …

I just found this one in my inbox. Some of the Obama logo ideas that weren't chosen, as well as the origin of the logo that was chosen.
I really like looking at other ideas that were rejected and why they were rejected. I wish more people were able to present ideas in …
An excellent web utility to help you generate a gridfor your website. Looks rather useful.

When I introduced this series of posts, I highlighted the main areas I wanted to keep in sync between my Macs and a web interface for use at work. This post aims to introduce you to the method I use to keep my calendar in sync across the three areas.
On both my Macs I …

For the last couple of years I've been wrestling with the age old problem of having two Macs, a desktop and a laptop. Whilst it's nice to have the luxury of two Macs it's always presented an issue that I'm only now beginning to find a solution for. The age old problem …

The 'O' in Obama an interesting interview with the guy who created the initial logo for Obama's '08 campaign. Fascinating to see that Obama had very little input into the process as well as the demonstration of networking to land the job.
