I recently purchased the Macheist nano bundle. It seems well worth the money so far, but it’s tough to tell if I will ever use some of the software again. Clippings, RipIt and MacJournal all seem to have some promise. I think my wife will enjoy the games once they are ulocked. As for blogging – this was written with Mac Journal, mainly as a test and also to see if it helps focus my blogging efforts. The bundle is only $19.95 and a portion of proceeds go to the charity of your choice. I specifically sent mine to the Prevent Cancer Fund in honor of Karen Proff, the mother of a good friend of mine who lost her battle with cancer last week. She will be missed.
If you get a chance check out the bundle, seems like you always find one or two gems that make the purchase worth while.
An excellent, timely post by Richard Leggett about HTML 5, Flash and the evolving web. This covers a lot of the emerging struggles and is extremely relevant to anyone designing and developing websites or rich internet applications. It will certainly be interesting to see how the rich media space evolves over the next 6-12 months.
The world will move to HTML X when Flash X is not needed, it is a non-argument, no amount of insane zealous preaching from within the idealist world of either side will make this happen in the real world. The market will use whatever tools provide the best solutions for the best return on investment.
The World is Moving to HTML5

You may have noticed, but 2 years later, I finally updated my website. Please leave a critique in the comments below if you feel so inclined. This revision has been in the works for some time. So much has changed over the course of two years time personally and professionally. It is exciting to work with all the wonderful people
Personal thanks to Kira Stoops at Flying Bicycle for helping line me out on some of the writing. If you need a talented content writer who is professional, intelligent and great to work with, I highly recommend her.
I’m still working out some of the design and content details and feel strongly that I can make some improvements to my own site as time allows. Hopefully this gives me a flexible platform to start adding some more interesting features, but for now, it is what it is and feel it is a great improvement over my prior website.
Recommended for my Art 366 design class and for any print designer looking to make a change to web design.
Oh yeah and it’s free. Thank you Mr. Zeldman.
Taking Your Talents To The Web by Jeffery Zeldman
As I meet with clients and discuss options for helping them with their websites. Thoughts come to mind that I usually try to convey as I picture their website as my own.
- I would invest more money in people then tools.
- I would look at how to integrate my company’s mission statement, business plan, goals and objectives into the website.
- I would decide the goals of my website before the redesign.
- I would be open to new ideas.
- I would invest time in communities, social media and online conversations.
- I would design the website for people and code it for search engines.
- I would focus my website on the end user’s needs, not my wants.
- I would realize that a website is a living breathing entity, otherwise it might be dead.
- I would do web analysis to figure out Key Performance Indicators of my current site so that I can make educated decisions before implementing new features.
What would you do differently?
