Everyone's a genius

I love Everyday (the app).
I love CSS. Via: ninedaysoff, decodering.
For some reason, “Anonymous” submitted this question to me well over a dozen times. Dude, I don’t know; I’ve never tried to “survive” in a job. Find something that you love to do and strive be the best in your field.
The Creative Technologist →
Creative Technologists are a new type of breed. The Creative Geek (or โCreekโ for short) has a very unique and mixed profile. Itโs a profile where the left side of the brain meets the right side. Creeks are logical, rational, analytical and objective which are all qualities coming from their technical background and left side of the brain while equally they are random, intuitive, synthesizing and subjective which are all qualities coming from the right side and creative side of the brain. They have this unique blend that looks at the parts as well at the wholes.
Not too keen on the “Creek” definition, but wholeheartedly agree with the need for people that are both Creative and Technology “aware” and can drive innovation within organizations.
Lovely video by Alex Faaborg exploring tab positions in Firefox 4. I’m totally sold on the “Tabs on top” concept. One of my biggest gripes with Firefox (that includes Safari) though is still the lack of a unified search/address bar. Less is truly more when it comes to browser UI.
Bonus points for the soundtrack. Kno is a new device, that is geared at the education market (double display, text-book-like shape). It’s a tad big for my taste, but includes some nifty features I’m missing on my iPad (scribbles and notes). Perhaps Microsoft should have another look at their Courier concept.

Great advice from Thomas Fuchs. I had my own run in with CSS3 related hardware acceleration some time ago; a bit odd, that everyone’s trying to figure out, how this beast really works (open standard, implementation’s mind-boggling) โ hope to see some solid articles coming out soon with additional test-cases.
Absolutely hilarious video describing how gameplay may become ubiquitous in the near future. Unimaginable potential for Digital disciplines (ranging from Digital Marketing, PR to Media) and E-Commerce. (via Pieter-Paul Walraven)
