Almost only counts in hand grenades and nuclear bombs. Not Fantasy Football live drafts. Hasn’t Yahoo heard the news? …lots of problems today across the board – not just me. The message boards and (ironically) Yahoo Answers were lit up with complaints and rants about how poorly prepared they were this season to handle demand. [...]
While at NYU I had the pleasure of attending a guest lecture by Ken Perlin. During this talk about non-linear thinking he demoed a very old program he called Pad++. It’s unique hook was that it had the ability to infinitely zoom in or out, thereby allowing you to organize information spatially. So, for instance, [...]
Getty Images now has an interactive mood board generator. It’s a great start of an idea but isn’t precise enough to be totally useful.

Check out Aviary – a new suite of RIAs that enable image editing, pattern creation and (soon) much more.
So a guy I work with swears this site helped get him out of crazy debt. Has anyone tried it?
A lot is being written about this today so I’ll just offer two thoughts… OK so clearly Adobe can pull off a fantastic RIA with tons of functionality – but not tons more than some competitors like Picnik. And what’s with the limited online-photo-sharing-site integration? Px currently offers integration with Facebook, Photobucket and Picasa… What [...]
