How to Approach a Responsive Design | Upstatement
by sbrothier & 2 others
So I’ve got a confession to make: When we started working on the new Boston Globe website, we had never designed a responsive site before.
This shouldn’t come as some huge shock. I mean, raise your hand if you’d built a full responsive site back in November 2010. (You can put your hand down now, Mr. Marcotte, that was rhetorical.) Since so few had done it — and certainly not on this scale — we kind’ve made things up as we went along. In fact, the entire Boston Globe team worked in a laboratory environment.1
Here at Upstatement, we experimented with how to solve design and layout problems within a responsive framework. We learned a helluva lot as we went, like how to choose the right design software, strategies for thinking through breakpoints, and some best practices for designing in the browser.
Ready? Good. Cos here we go …

OverviewBanners2 (Field)
by Emaux & 1 other
Field is a development environment for experimental code and digital art in the broadest of possible senses. While there are a great many development environments and digital art tools out there today, this one has been constructed with two key principles in mind:
Embrace and extend — rather than make a personal, private and pristine code utopia, Field tries to bridge to as many libraries, programming languages, and ways of doing things as possible. The world doesn't necessarily need another programming language or serial port library, nor do we have to pick and choose between data-flow systems, graphical user interfaces or purely textual programming — we can have it all in the right environment and we can both leverage the work of others and take control of our own tools and methods.
Live code makes anything possible — Field tries to replace as many "features" with editable code as it can. Its programming language of choice is Python — a world class, highly respected and incredibly flexible language. As such, Field is intensely customizable, with the glue between interface objects and data modifiable inside Field itself. Field takes seriously the idea that its user — you — are a programmer / artist doing serious work and that you should be able to reconfigure your tools to suit your domain and style as closely as possible.

A Guide To Improve Your Website's Readability Through Colors
by Monique
Colors have a huge effect on readability. This is why you need to choose them wisely so that they not only create esthetically pleasing combinations but also make it easier for users to read the text. Text is an integral part of any site and we shouldn’t punish visitors for coming to our site by using hard to read color combinations.
Cargo
by mozkart
Cargo offers its members free standing personal websites with their own URL*,
a wide variety of templates, and simple but sophisticated tools to control the way their content is displayed.
A personal network of their own creation allows members to follow and comment on the work of others, making themselves known by their artistic engagement with the community.
To maintain the highest possible degree of quality, every site we initiate is by invite only. However, we frequently award memberships to unaffiliated talents who share a sample of their work (contact us). Setting up a Cargo site can be done in just a few steps:
1 Choose a base design
2 Add content
3 Customize the look & feel
4 Point a URL
5 Link with other sites
*Note: Cargo offers a Free Basic Service, which does not include certain features like a personal URL, but otherwise allows for full membership privileges. To access additional functionality we offer Upgraded membership. More info.
Cargo websites have a front- and a back-side. The front is a member’s public website, the back is their Personal Network, connecting them to the people they follow on Cargo.
A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design
hmm comme d'habitude… oui les employés de FoxConn ont « choisi » de travailler comme des esclaves. Le choix est un mythe de société de gosse de riches.The most important thing to realize about the future is that it's a choice. People choose which visions to pursue, people choose which research gets funded, people choose how they will spend their careers.

HTML5 or XHTML? Polyglot Documents Mean You Don't Have To Choose
i.e. it took me less than 3 minutes to change my site from being exclusively written in HTML5 to being written in both HTML5 and XML: what's called a polyglot document.

A dying art? Work dries up for painters of Tokyo bath-house murals | World news | The Guardian
But despite a history stretching back 100 years, sento murals are at risk of dying out along with the tradition of hadaka no tsukiai, or naked friendship, as more urban Japanese choose to bathe at home. At their peak in the late 1960s, there were more than 2,500 sento in Tokyo; now there are fewer than 1,000.

jDocumentary - A jQuery Web 2.0 Documentary Plugin
by sbrothier & 1 other
jDocumentary was born of a desire to create Travelogues more interactive, more alive. Most solutions to create web documentaries are based on Flash, which is not suitable for navigation and search engines, nor there for me who does not know the programming language of Flash. I started searching the web for several jQuery plugins that would allow me to combine video, audio, rich text and slideshow in a single browser window, and I found many very good projects open source that I could reuse to create a more complete plugin. So jDocumentary is the addition of all these technologies, allowing to propose to the world a documentary where the visitor can choose his way.

Rania Matar - Recent Projects - A Girl and her Room Project Statement
From there, emerged the idea of photographing each girl alone. I originally let the girls choose the place of their choice and was slowly welcomed into their bedrooms, an area that is theirs, that they can fully control, decorate, trash and be themselves in – within an outside world that is often intimidating.
Sync2Folders
by rmaltete
This program synchronizes two folders. The oldest files will be replaced by the most recent, and in certain cases, some files will be removed.
Use the help tags to familiarize yourself with the options.
Be sure of what you are doing when you start a synchronization. If in doubt, do a Simulation. This will show you what will happen if you choose to synchronize, but no files will be replaced or removed.
