Digital Web: Photoshop vs Fireworks

2008-07-23T10:41:02-07:00

Nathan Smith gets input from several buddies of mine, including Anton Peck, Jared Christensen, Patrick Haney, and Jenna Marino, on their preference for either Fireworks or Photoshop. The comments are definitely an interesting read, so I encourage you to check it out. I think it's important to keep some perspective, though: the only people who really care whether you use Fireworks or Photoshop are other designers. Clients couldn't care less. Debating the pros and cons can be fun for us design nerds, but ultimately it doesn't really matter what you use -- keep that in mind.

Digital Web: Smart CSS Ain’t Always Sexy CSS

2008-07-23T10:11:26-07:00

Suddenly it seems like respected [web designers everywhere](http://boagworld.com/podcast/127/) are starting to [catch on](http://twitter.com/Malarkey/statuses/834712756) to what I've been saying for a couple years now: established standards and best practices are great, but they are simply a means to an end, and we should always challenge them in cases where it seems like a different means to the same end might be more effective. "Perfect" can be, at times, the enemy of "good". I don't necessarily agree with everything in Martin's article, but I'm glad to see other big names beginning to jump on the pragmatic, but still standards-oriented, approach.

washingtonpost.com: Creative Commons Is Rewriting Rules of Copyright

2008-07-22T17:02:07-07:00

"No Meaning No" was released under an innovative new licensing scheme called Creative Commons that some say may be better suited to the electronic age than the hands-off mind-set that has made copyright such a bad word among the digerati. So far, more than 10 million other creations -- ranging from the movie "Outfoxed" and songs by the Beastie Boys to the British Broadcasting Corp.'s news footage and the tech support books published under the O'Reilly label -- have been distributed using these licenses. The idea has even won the support of Hilary Rosen, formerly of the Recording Industry Association of America, and Jack Valenti, the past head of the Motion Picture Association of America, who became known for their aggressive pursuit of people who share free, unauthorized copies via the Internet. Interest in Creative Commons licenses comes as artists, authors and traditional media companies begin to warm to the idea of the Internet as friend instead of foe and race to capitalize on technologies such as file-sharing and digital copying.

Superstruct! Play the game, invent the future. | The Institute For The Future

2008-07-22T16:44:50-07:00

This is a game of survival, and we need you to survive. Super-threats are massively disrupting global society as we know it. There’s an entire generation of homeless people worldwide, as the number of climate refugees tops 250 million. Entrepreneurial chaos and “the axis of biofuel” wreak havoc in the alternative fuel industry. Carbon quotas plummet as food shortages mount. The existing structures of human civilization—from families and language to corporate society and technological infrastructures—just aren’t enough. We need a new set of superstructures to rise above, to take humans to the next stage. You can help. Tell us your story. Strategize out loud. Superstruct now. It's your legacy to the human race.

Millions of people call customer service every day, yet few are satisfied with the responses they get. What does a frustrated consumer need to do to get prompt help? Tweet. That's right, tweet. Twitter is the newest social networking Internet site that asks its 50,000 users only one question when they log on: "What are you doing? The trick is to respond in 140 characters or less, which keeps posts short and pithy.
