synor··on iPhone 6: An edgy concept
This is not even a good portfolio piece. The typography is really bad.
synor··on npm install firebase
Meteor provides its own MongoDB lite for that.
synor··on Flash vs HTML - Waste Invaders
I lost mouse focus a couple of times by moving the pointer out of the browser window in the HTML5 version which lead to multiple game deaths. This didn't happen with the flash version. Is there some technical barrier in browsers preventing complete mouse capturing?
synor··on Realtime Responsive Typography Based on Viewing Distance via Webcam
What do you have to assume about e.g. user monitor ppi and webcam field of view to make this work?
synor··on Smooth Scroll to Top Using CSS3 Animations

synor··on List of Twitter Bootstrap Resources
Not a good practice. If you keep changes of .less files separate you create an overhead of 50-100% of the resulting style-sheet file size for larger projects, that style most of the components.

We now directly modify everything and try to merge in updates manually. This has proven to be the best practice.

synor··on Show HN: Hush, an "incognito mode for Facebook"

How do you filter my "own" posts without correlating my Facebook id with a post-author id?

And it uses tables (!) for laying out the toolbar buttons.

synor··on Typographic effects in canvas
Text effects, not typography.
synor··on Bootstrap Toggle Buttons
Bootstrap has Toggle Buttons http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#buttons
synor··on [dead]
What is a software designer? Do you mean a software engineer or an interface designer?
synor··on CSS3 patterned buttons
Why?
synor··on Design Tip: Never Use Black
Ansel Adams disagrees.
synor··on Space isn't ours.
I watched the beginning of the NASA JPL press conference and the overt patriotism was unbearable (at least for me as an European citizen). They not only coarsely described as an American victory, but also patronized foreign Mars projects – the successful ones apparently being a result of "American leadership".
synor··on Easel: Design without a Designer
"Just focus on building your product"

That's what we call design.

synor··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my CV template [Helvetica, XeTeX, TikZ & Biblatex]
What are the colors for? Do they really serve a relevant purpose?
synor··on People Aren't Smart Enough for Democracy to Flourish, Scientists Say
Also, that time gave rise to the Technocracy Movement, which proposed an allegedly new way to run society other than by dictatorship or democracy.
