The Fine Art of Wireframes

2008-04-08T10:00:31-07:00

Can sketching be an appropriate IA tool? "Presenting a sketch of a proposed design direction to clients gives them a more consumable design deliverable; the inherent imperfections of the drawing magically break down the barrier between consultant and client, and actively invite participation in the creative process. In contrast, presenting clients with a high-fidelity wireframe as a preliminary deliverable often gives the client the perception that the wireframe is complete, shutting down the creative dialogue."

XMPP (Jabber) is the future for cloud services

2008-01-25T09:51:35-08:00

There's a new firestorm brewing in web services architectures. Cloud services are being talked up as a fundamental shift in web architecture that promises to move us from interconnected silos to a collaborative network of services whose sum is greater than its parts. The problem is that the protocols powering current cloud services (SOAP and a few other assorted HTTP-based protocols) are all one way exchanges. Therefore cloud services aren't real-time, won't scale, and often can't clear the firewall. The solution is XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) . Never heard of it? In just a couple of years Google, Apple, AOL, IBM, Livejournal and Jive have all jumped on board.

If you suspect there is something wrong with your iPod, you can switch it to diagnostic mode to determine what the problem may be."

Use Your Own Fonts: A Simple sIFR Guide

2007-12-17T09:22:21-08:00

Even though sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) has been around for a couple years, many web designers have still never heard of it, let alone use it. sIFR allows you to use custom typography on your site by utilizing JavaScript, Flash, and CSS. Unfortunately, using sIFR is somewhat programmatic in nature and reliant on the user having a little familiarity with JavaScript and Flash. So for those who care more about implementing the effect than the actual programming behind it, here's a quick guide to get you started.
