One last UI nitpick I’ve been meaning to write down for ages, and it goes like this:
You’re viewing recent photos/posts on a website and you want to read more, so you click the button at the bottom to give you a few more older entries
You view those photos/posts then scroll down to get more
Your choices [...]
Threadless is my favorite place to buy t-shirts, period (this includes any offline stores). I’ve bought dozens and dozens of them and I even subscribed to the shirt of the month club for a year, but every time I make the mistake of throwing a few shirts in my virtual cart and then remembering to [...]
Continuing on with the “Flash ads should never obscure content or functionality on a website” theme, today I noticed I couldn’t log into my Hilton Hotel account because of some stupid ad for an olympics panda bear.
Here is me trying to login (click on the screenshot to see the .mov screen capture).
The sound you [...]
After upgrading my first mac (powerbook) to another powerbook, then to an iMac and finally to a Mac Pro, I realized five years of using the Migration Assistant had finally run its course. Various basic parts (mostly Keychain Access) of Leopard stopped functioning properly and since everything ran great on my new Macbook Air, I [...]
If you’ve followed this site for a few years, you probably saw my old essays introducing Google’s Adsense to the blogging public and that time I said ads in RSS were a no-no. Today I wrote an extensive update on the same subject over on my new blog: How ads really work (superfans and noobs). [...]

Gmail is the best web app there is, period. It’s also my sole interface to email. It’s close to perfect, but a couple things keep me from calling it as such.
I get a ton of spam, in the low thousands per day, and gmail is pretty good about most of it, but it does generate [...]
I first heard about the new Parallels beta here on Dan’s vox account. It’s really incredible. It includes a couple cool new features, one being “Coherence” which lets you run windows intermingled with your mac. See how I have a windows taskbar below my apple menu at the top? That’s Coherence running.
When it comes to [...]
A week or so ago, I ran into Dethroner in my web surfing and I was instantly hooked. There was attitude, great original tips, pointers to cool stuff I hadn’t seen anywhere else, and there was tons of it. I soon realized it was written by one of my favorite writers, longtime former editor of [...]
