I would like to have been at that table when this UI feature for iTunes 10 was proposed- or rather not cuz they clearly liked it. Are you kidding me Apple?

Why do we still use the name ‘javascript’?

Been wondering about this. Since the trademark of the worlds most ‘open’ language is owned by Oracle- why do we use the name? Instead of just calling it what it is , and that is ECMAscript?

Harmony Procedural sketching tool
Small update to this already great Canvas sketching tool. Included keyboard shortcuts to set the influence level on ‘sketchy’. Just press 1 through 4 on your keyboard to set.
Or play with it here and set the tool to ‘sketchy’

Ah. One line to explain them all
I was reading the article ‘What is next in webdesign’ on informationarchitects.jp- and there was one line- that explains UX and what UX is about to webdesigners- in a single sentence:
User Experience is in the interface, not in the surface.

Also. They have (I just found out copy/pasting the text) a very useful script running on their site. When you copy a text from their blog- it automatically adds the ‘Read more:’ part. Now that is smart…

My pet frustration
One of my pet peeves is the fact that- sometimes people put a ‘next’ link- where a ‘previous’ link would make more sense in context of browsing though a blog.
You know how it works- you are reading through a blog, get to the bottom- and there, you have a link called ‘next’. OK, fair enough- you don’t give it any thought and click on it (The Affordance of that link is: it get’s you somewhere were you want to go) Now…page 2, you go though the articles- and there, at the bottom of the page you are greeted with:
OK So, when clicking ‘previous’, will I go back in time (so- will I get to a page, where I can read older articles) or back to page 1?
Does it not make more sense to name the anchor something like older posts, or newer posts?
Let me hear it.

Maggy Sort
It might not be the most efficient, but it’s by far- the most entertaining one. It seems to be a persistent random seeded bubble sort

Chromium on OS X

This is actually one of the more funnier error messages I came across running Chrome (Chromium) on OS X.
When trying to open an HTML file locally. I get this popup saying that Chromium doesn’t support HTML.

The first image posted on the web…ever.
And probably not what you expected. It dates back to 1992, after a CERN organized festival called the Hardronic Festival. Tim Berners-Lee asked Silvano de Gennaro to scan some pictures of the CERN girls to publish on this thing he invented called the World Wide Web.
And the rest is history.
