Every Presentation Ever: Communication FAIL

Ever feel like your communication fails? Avoid this!

Reminds me of the (Belgian) De Wakkere Bakker commercials.

Acko.net Redesign

January 26, 2012 by Bramus! Leave a comment

The last design was meant to feel spacious, the new design is spacious, thanks to generous use of CSS 3D transforms.

Webkit-based browser required, video of the result embedded for those without Webkit.

Making love to Webkit →

HTML5 Please

January 26, 2012 by Bramus! Leave a comment

Look up HTML5, CSS3, etc features, know if they are ready for use, and if so find out how you should use them – with polyfills, fallbacks or as they are.

Awesome resource, listing all newish stuff, along with the fallbacks/polyfills you’ll need to use.

Concept: Ubuntu’s HUD

January 26, 2012 by Bramus! Leave a comment

Say hello to the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. Here’s what we hope you’ll see in 12.04 when you invoke the HUD from any standard Ubuntu app that supports the global menu.

To me, this seems:

  • good to keyboarders like me (I’m a fan of QuickSilver/Alfred, shortcuts, etc.)
  • unusable to all other users

Problem is that you have to know the name of the action you want to invoke. Sometimes — especially when you’re new in a program — you’ll want to skim through the menu/options to get to know the app or to get to the action you want.

However, it does seem like a quick jump to voice control: instead of typing, just say what you want. An ideal situation would be to keep the menu as we know it, and provide the mechanics/features of the HUD via voice control.

Introducing the HUD. Say hello to the future of the menu. →
