I happened upon this link this morning. It was actually pretty interesting. I know that each NASA mission takes pictures before they launch, but I had no idea they had been making “movie posters” for a few years now. I will be the first to admit that some of these posters are pretty terrible. I [...]

An Internet Showdown!
April 5, 2010 – 3:35 pm
In case you haven’t been keeping up with the tech news over the last few months, Google and Apple have been duking it out over the direction they see the web heading. It seems that Apple is more and more interested in determining how content will flow through its tubes. It claims that Adobe’s Flash [...]
Lies, Damn Lies, & Statistics

By now, just about everyone has read about Google’s big anti-censorship push in China and throughout the rest of the world. Net censorship is a huge deal.

The concept is this: Flinc users A, B, C, D, and E all have this app on their smart phone. Ideally, there would be hundreds of people using this app in each [...]

Google is a household name; has been for some time now. We’ve even turned “google” into a verb for “searching online” – “Just Google it!” Most people are surprised to find out that Google has never aired a single commercial for their popular search engine. Their first ad ever aired during Super Bowl 44 (that’s [...]

I’ve been a designer for the better part of a decade. I’m certainly not the best designer around, and I certainly can’t say I always come up with the best ideas. But one of the first things I learned way back when was that certain fonts were just inappropriate for certain situations. Some fonts were [...]
