Smashing Magazine published today a very interesting article.
35 web designers were asked the following five questions:
The answers? You can read them in the article itself:-)
One more impressive video:
The man has three voices… and can use them simultaneously! You won’t believe, until you see… I mean, until you hear it;-)
UPDATE 1 (2009/03/17): YouTube have deleted the video, unfortunately.
UPDATE 2 (2009/04/29): After some search, I have found another recording of this amazing guy, Joseph Poolpo! Here it is:
I hope that YouTube won’t delete this one! :-)
Jerôme Murat – just watch, and look beyond the technique…
Impressive!
PS Who said I cannot write short posts? :-p
I put again my CSS clothes after stripping them off for more than 48 hours :)
Overall, this year’s CSS Naked Day was fun (my first participation, btw)…
Over 1600 official participants this year (see the full list at: http://naked.dustindiaz.com)! But rather less noise than when the first CSS Naked Day came…
But I’m happy I was in :-)
To promote Webstandards, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and semantic (X)HTML – this year again CSS Naked Day!
More information: two words by Dustin at his blog, at webstandards.org, and, of course, at the official webpage of the participants :) The list of participating websites is over 900 and growing (see also technorati).
My blog is first-time participator (for obvious reasons – in April 2006 optimiced.com didn’t yet exits;-), which means from midnight EET (East European Time, or GMT + 2h) all CSS styles in it will be disabled for a minimum of 24 hours — and if you wonder, why the design of the website looks so bare – this is the reason:)))
Well, Optimiced is not so beautiful at the moment, but a good cause requires some sacrifice, and I’m willing to do it:)
…or so it appears from one of the latest ad clips from Microsoft? :-D
See for yourself the ad for Internet Explorer 7 over at YouTube. I was stunned after seeing this… I am not a big fan of Microsoft (for years I struggle to make IE6 to read my CSS code as it should), but they have… errr… sense of humour? ;-)
I read a long article today on the benefits of laugh, with lots of sicentific data on how it may improve your health, etc.
But what caught my attention more was a research, made on 2 million people accross the whole planet, with the aim to assess around 40’000 jokes.
The results of two nations caught my eye – Belguim and Scotland.
Best joke in Belgium was acknowledged the following:
“Why ducks are web-footed? To extinguish fires with them. And why elephants have flat feet? To step over the ducks on fire.”
Hmm?… And in Scotland joke number one was:
“I want to die peacefully in my sleep in the train, like my grand-father did, and not screaming in horror, like his passengers.”
This one was a good one! I had to read the joke twice before I’ve got it… :-D
Happy April Fool’s Day to everyone! (Today is not a suitable day for anything serious, and with all my coughing and sneezing this weekend, what more is left to me than to keep my bed, to read, write and (occasionaly) draw a little;)
I saw a funny post about a robot which cleans your house and laughed a lot (found via antonia.del.bg).
But I got a little be annoyed that the author of the comic strip maybe thinks that watching TV is the thing which’ll make his life easier and more efficient. You save time… to be in front of the TV set? Hmm…
Here’s my version (redrawn quickly with Macromedia Fireworks):
(Because I’m lucky, the author has published the picture under CC and I can make changes to it, by mentioning him as the original author:-)
And I have gave up television totally a few years ago. We do not have a TV at home, and do not plan to have any in the future.
You can gain so much free time by getting rid of it!
Time used for drawing for your own pleasure, for example:)))
PS This is not a joke:)
Update (2009/03/20): The original comic strip has a new address:-)
