Definitely looks nice, but it wasn't all that easy to use with a mouse. I take it you can only flip pages from touching the corner of the page, if anything this makes it less useable on a browser. And do we really need pretend paper on our browsers and devices?
I have an iPhone and an Android phone, and I'm probably going to upgrade the Android to an S3. I'm not a diehard fan of either platform, and without knowing anything about the patents, as a consumer I'm getting pretty sick of what appears to be sour grapes on Apple's part. I guess I would get desperate too if I saw my main rival rack up preorders of 9 million units...
Do the projects for your school. It'll be good for your portfolio and gives you a break from the usual grinds of a full time job...
Also, going from my own experience, staying at a job with a company, neither of which you sound all that thrilled with is never a good idea. Besides, having that 11 week project will give you time to reflect and look for something you actually like...
I got my current job from LinkedIn, and my network isn't all that big. I actually use LI for keeping up to date on industries and certain interests via the groups. So, no, there would be no incentive that would keep me off my personal networking. Besides, where do you think alot of these recruiters go to find talent?
Not a big fan of the name. Conjures too many references to peeing and testicles. Besides, it's a mouthful and could be hard for people to spell. It's cool that you're trying to have the name actually be meaningful, but I think it's almost more important to have it be catchy, easy to say and spell first.
Good luck on the launch!
Try the South Beach Diet. It's pretty much focused on lowering carb intake, especially at the beginning. I tried it a few years back and lost around 25 pounds too. I had to cut out all of my carbs (at least initially), but you can eat all the dairy you like.
BB isn't going away, it'll just be forced to change. Change it's atrocious cust. service, adopt some technology and probably close a ton of stores. Not to mention have more competitive pricing. Now I'm not at all a fan of BB. But I think BB will survive in some form because there are still many people who still like to have things instantly and see/try physically. There's still a segment out there, like the older generation that still need to go somewhere for 'advice' and get hands on goods.
It's really cluttered. I find the Register, Sign in, Member Center, Subscriber Center area way too busy. Maybe you coul simplify the register/sign-in box?
I agree, I'm also running solo to begin with. It's sometimes pretty demoralizing when you read and hear that you would get nowhere if you're a single founder. I subscribe to the notion of building something first and perhaps gaining traction before bringing complementary skills onboard.
I've been using Evernote. And recently, I started using Trello as a PM tool to help me organize my tasks. They're both free and have decent iphone apps, which I often use when I'm at events and meetups and don't want to use my laptop.
Another huge plus: both are free.
I love it how the article ends with >The Internet really is for porn<
>It’s probably not unrealistic to say that porn makes up 30% of the total data transferred across the internet.< If this is the case, is the online porn industry held up as models of high tech and innovation? I thought I heard somewhere investors and VC's in particular, shy away from porn...
I don't think anyone is going to lament the loss of a physical showroom. Especially when online prices are so much better. That coupled with online retailers abilities to provide superior and quick return policies and virtually free shipping, it gets harder to keep supporting the BB's of the world.
If a BB employee can explain to me how their $30 HDMI cable is far superior than the $1 one I bought of Amazon, then perhaps I would shop there more. Also, having a good ole Micro Center nearby gives my one less reason to shop at BB.
This is great news. I've been running a Win 7 XBMC for a while now and have been holding off on the Apple TV precisely because I couldn't play my own movies. I didn't know you could JB and install XBMC.
Thanks for the info!!
If you're interested in learning Javascript, try Codecademy. They have tons of free modules and have a very structured learning path. They keep it fun by giving you projects to do along the way.
I get most of my ebooks from Amazon. Sometimes, I buy directly from the authors (like 'step by step UI design'). I've also bought a few bundles from Smashing Mag. I read most of my ebooks on Kindle for iPhone and Android. Somtimes I'll read on iPad.
I like how easy it is to buy from Amazon, it's literally one click (on the full website anyway). It's so big, I haven't had the need to look anywhere else for ebooks.
I don't know if Amazon does it, but it would be cool if there was a one-stop marketplace for independent authors like sgdesign.
Funny thing, I saw this ad just yesterday. The eventbrite page has been pulled I think now. But I remember seeing the no women point and then also saw other points like 'No Ideas People' or something to that effect. The flyer struck me as somewhat offensive, not that I'm usually that sensitive. But it came across as disparaging quite a few groups of people, don't know what they were trying to do. But it seems like it would end up alienating people. Not being a full time dev, I've been mustering the energy and guts to go to a hackathon with the aim of meeting folks I could possibly learn from. My first impression was, I'd be made fun of if I turned up with nothing to offer...
Thanks for this. What a simple concept! I have so many docs trying to manage myself that they have become almost unmanageable. I've been using Google docs, Evernote and Trello. I recently took to using Trello as an electronic diary.
Not to mention, I still scribble in an actual notebook!
Just bought a copy with the PSD. As everyone here have said, the price point for both bundles make it a no-brainer.
I would say that the lightbox expand and contract was confused for close. It took me a few clicks to work out.
Love the fonts btw...
Right, this is a GoDaddy 'technical glitch'. I have a couple of domain names about to expire with them. I certainly will not be renewing with them or using them again for anything new. Their SOPA episode has left a bad taste...
