David Seah - The Printable CEO™ Series

2008-07-15T02:46:49-07:00

"The Printable CEO™ (PCEO) was born from a desire to focus my time more productively. For me, that means things that make my freelance practice sustainable and fun. The Printable CEO name comes from the idea that a good CEO should focus primarily on those things that move the company forward; since I can't afford to hire my own CEO, being able to print one out seemed like the next best thing! :-)"

Visual Thinking - Douglas Coupland - Granta

2008-06-28T13:03:58-07:00

"Last summer in Vancouver I attended a screening of the cult documentary Helvetica — a biography of the classic sans serif font designed in 1957. All 950 seats of the Ridge Theatre were filled, and I haven’t felt as much energy in an audience since attending the 1993 taping of MTV Unplugged in Sony Studios in NewYork. Had it been possible to buy pennants and banners in the lobby, the air would have been filled with such graphic bursts as Italics! Or MEDIUM! or Light!, and I’d have been holding one, too. Mine would have read: Helvetica Neue (T1) 75 Bold.The font is a rock star."

GrandPerspective is a small utility application for Mac OS X that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

Deprecated features in Dreamweaver

2008-04-24T01:46:07-07:00

"Dreamweaver recently celebrated its 10th birthday with the Creative Suite 3 launch, and after a decade of development there are many features in the application that require significant resources to maintain release to release, but aren't being used with significant frequency. Correspondingly, we've recently made some difficult decisions as a tradeoff between continuing to support infrequently used features vs. developing new features to both streamline key web design and development workflows and support newer technologies and development models."
