studiomoh.com is going through some serious re-designs. I keep waffling on a fluid layout, fixed layout, vertical column VS horizontal, single-page VS segmented content…ugh.
Design dilemma.
Please excuse the current iteration of studio moh while I rest on the design.

Logo work for my friend Jeremy’s new wine club. He’s a bear.
The original inspiration for the logo was based on those Indian Petroglyphs where the animal has an arrow (it’s life meter) going from the mouth to the stomach:
Turns out they’re called Fetishes. Imagine my delight when I googled Bear Fetish for reference [...]

Click here to preview the CSS LightBox
Finally, a lightbox that doesn’t require Javascript! And now it support IE5+!
The core of Multi-state CSS is the :target pseudo selector. When a user clicks a page-anchor the :target pseudo selector is activated, revealing the lightbox element.
IE5+ doesn’t support the :target pseudo selector, but it does support CSS expressions. [...]

I am quite impressed with the speed of Chrome…I really want to see where this beta goes. There are some bugs that I would like to see addressed, features I’d like to see added.
I would love to see Firefox adapt these Javascript enhancements. The speed of AJAX-style calls is absolutely amazing. [...]

Traversing the display list in AS3 is so tedious. I wish I could use jQuery/CSS/XSLT style selectors:
$(’stage movie button’).addChild(child);
jQuery has spoiled me with easy DOM traversal. Instead, we have to do this:
stage.getChildAt(3).getChildAt(12).addChild(child);
Edit: It looks like someone has ported the $-style traversing to AS3. Finally!
So, I made curry tonight, and it gave me a really good idea:
What options does a non-English speaking user have when visiting an English-only website?
My server logs tell me they use Babelfish.
The problem with Babelfish (or any net-translator) is that it breaks the website. It pushes it through a Find-and-Replace dictionary of terms that completely [...]
Typographical widows, that is. Learning jQuery (an excellent blog, even for the power users) had a wonderful post on how to use jQuery to append widows.
(If you didn’t take a print class in high school, a widow is a word that ends on the next line likethis.
This is a print master’s nightmare and a typographical [...]

Current Javascript solutions for LightBoxes are kind of cumbersome, bloated, and CPU-intense.
Unsatisfied with the current state of LightBoxing, I developed a pure, organic, CSS-powered LightBox. Absolutely zero javascript. All of this under 1kb.

This is my ill-fated business card for Jaguar Design…the company that I’m leaving next week for a better-paid position in San Francisco.
Jaguar is a really small company, so my ability to wear many different hats was indispensable. One day I would be their print master, then I was their web master…so we decided my utility [...]

It’s a Flash Embedded device for $180.
Touch screen, accelerometer, microphone, speakers, light sensor, wifi, leather panels…mmm…
Anything I make in Flash I can put on this baby as a fun new toy. Like an alarm clock that streams music from my web server, or a FAP browser that I’m pretty sure only I would use.
