Two thumbs up, Old Navy!
You’ve used Shazam before, right? If not, see Megan's blog from February here! A few weeks ago, I noticed an Old Navy commercial that included the Shazam logo on the bottom of the screen. The spot featured a girl trying on different clothes and singing along to a song that I didn’t recognize. I decided [...]
Interactive dining at its finest
I just finished reading/viewing an article online about a restaurant in London, named Inamo, that offers interactive dining. Even before reading a sentence I had started hating on it. Interactive dining? I don’t want to have to browse through a website like menu to order my food I want to sit back and relax and [...]
CSS3 New Feature: Box-Shadow
CSS3 has made front-end web development easier and more streamlined than ever before. The simple fact that CSS3 has capabilities to render more sophisticated design elements enables web developers to rely less and less on images to be loaded onto the page. Sounds like a miracle, eh? Well, yes and no...depending on what browser the [...]
Practice your Portuguese!
I never imagined that I’d ever be blogging about Playboy, but it appears the day has come. The agency F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi in Brazil has found another way to make print advertising sensory and interactive. Using an ad wrapped around the spine of Playboy’s June edition, the agency incorporated the element of sound into [...]
There’s an app for THAT?
With more than 425,000 apps available for download in the iTunes app store, how does one know which are the gems and which are the duds? It’s so irritating when you have thumbed through all the apps available, finally made a decision on which one to purchase, waited for the download, opened the app and [...]
Can Javascript Really Be the Latin of Mobile Development?
Amidst all of the excitement about HTML5 and CSS3 and the wonderful things that we can do with them, it’s been easy for me to forget that the third piece of this whole puzzle, Javascript, is still going to be Javascript. I’m not the rabid Javascript-hater that I used to be (thank you especially to [...]
Summer Games II, here I come!
It's pretty hard to think about life before the PC. The home computer has become as ubiquitous as an oven or TV and honestly, if given the choice, I might choose it over any home appliance. I can still remember when personal computers hit the market. IBM had their PC Jr that brought the bluechip [...]
YouTube Time Machine!
Not to be confused with the box office hit "Hot Tub Time Machine," the YouTube Time Machine serves up your favorite sound and video from 1860 to today, yep you heard right…1860. The interface of the YTTM is second to none. By sliding a marker along a timeline you are instantly served a random video [...]
A Good Year of Bad Metaphors
So, while I wasn’t looking, my first anniversary of being a Louisvillian (a term rife with possibility) came, then went, which was surprisingly anti-climactic. Despite the predictions of certain miscreants, I have not, as of yet, plumbed those depths of musical possibility offered by the Hooting Jug, nor have I evolved a mandibular appendage that [...]
