Whiteboard

A pulse on design trends, usability/design/graphic quotes, amazing photography, and links to keep everyone busy, plus a few songs that are currently stuck on repeat.

This is getting to be a bit Apple focused and iPhone crazy. If you can't tell I love tech gadgets and the iPhone is my gadget of choice. I will be building an Apple gadget specific website soon so this area will be freed up for more design related topics.

Get excited about the AppleTV Airplay opportunities from iPhone, iPod, & iPad. Finally wireless versatility within Apple Products. This maybe the best reason to own an iphone and AppleTV.  

The new iPhone gets the hottest app in the App Store, NETFLIX. Hell yes! I have been waiting for this ever since they released the NETFLIX app for the iPad. It’s a great experience on the iPad, but this has just become even more accessible. Get the new iPhone4 and then download the NETFLIX app. You won’t be disappointed.

Money Money Money

This is a very theoretical, but a necessary step in rethinking the money in our pockets. By making it relevant to our modern times, new money can be a great way to express the american values into the world culture. It maybe hard to get a new idea to stick since the modern is digital. We all use cards now. These could also be translated to check cards pretty easily.

“Toru Iwatani created Pac-Man. He still carries top secret documents with him to game conferences. No, really.

Iwatani was a speaker at the recent Festival of Games. To the surprise of the conference’s host, Iwatani was carrying the original Pac-Man sketches with him.

See that 秘？ It means these documents are secret mdash; well, more like they were secret.”

Just an amazing moment in the world when this guy pulls out his top secret original pacman sketches. Holy Shit. Got to love that game and Pinky. Great Moment.

Simplify the Web, DNS for Dummies.  

Understanding simple web tech can be very illumanating for most people. Come on, did you ever wonder how a url bar really works? 

It also gave me an understanding of why RoadRunner would give me a error page with search results when the url wasn’t available. I hate RR and @wi.rr.com email addresses. I have DSL now and it works much better. No more random RR pages!!!

Is It Cool for Us to Date? I love seeing great info graphics. Things have changed so much in the last couple of years for this field of design. I had to buy a few cutting edge info graphics books in college and they feel out of date now. Not only are the graphics well constructed, it has a great sense of humor. I would take a few minutes and run through a few scenarios and see for your self, who knows, maybe you could even get some advice! Original article was from Fast Company, and the poster was made by Erik Bryan and Jennifer Daniel for The Morning News.

Don’t let jQuery’s $(document).ready() slow you down 

An interesting overview of a jQuery convention about the document.ready wrapper. Its ideas like this that are out of the box and a bit abnormal, but can have a profound impact on things if they are explored. Take a look if your know anything about jQuery.

Max Lenderman talk last night looked something like this. I recorded the whole thing, but this is better because you can see the slides and max. 

Check it out, he’s got some great ideas. Here’s his website, experiencethemessage.com

Ok, I know this is rapid posting, but the making of video is just as amazing as the final cut. If you ever wondered how or want to make video, this is a great visual breakdown of the production of a video like this. 

I love great green screen and computer video productions. Expect more posts about this great company, www.spyfilms.com.

This is an amazing little video. I won’t have expected such production quality from a few minute short. It works though, I would love to see more by this director. 

Check it out, its worth the time spent.
