My thoughts on Google Chrome

=
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. [...]

CSS selectors for AS3

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!

Curry gives me the best ideas

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 [...]

How Dylan avoids widows

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 [...]

Pure CSS LightBox, no javascript

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.

The core of Multi-state CSS is the :target pseudo class. When a user clicks a page-anchor the [...]

The business card that never was

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 [...]

omg, Chumby

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.

FAP Forever, HTML redux

I’m considering replacing the current paginated results when you browse with this FAP Forever style of browsing.
Thoughts?

New toy: Mass FAPloader

My Apollo/Flex mass upload tool was taking too long to code, so I sat down and made this simple mass upload tool for FAP.
The tool I’m working on in Apollo/Flex will let you select an entire folder and upload that to FAP. Until then, please enjoy Mass FAPloader.

FAP Trail

One part breadcrumb trail, one part FAP.
FAP Trail starts with a page of random works. By clicking on works that you like it learns and offers works that you might be more interested in. Eventually you will recieve a gallery of works that accurately reflects your tastes in art.
This was built using fAPI, the open [...]
