Basement.org : Elsewhere Links http://www.basement.org/archives/elsewhere/ Alternative thinking about technology, the web, experience design and how they all play along. en Copyright 2012 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:24:02 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.01 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss <![CDATA[Elsewhere Links Are…Elsewhere]]> Y’all may have noticed that basement.org’s elsewhere links have dried up a bit these days. They actually haven’t. They’re just not happening on this blog. If you’d like to follow the links I’ve been sharing, the easiest way is to just visit (or follow me) on Twitter (@richziade). There’s also an RSS feed fed by that account.

It’s just so much easier to publish quick tidbits this way. I primarily use TBUZZ to share links out. Eventually, I’d like to let that stream show up here on basement.org as elsewhere links. As soon as some time frees up, I’ll make that update.

By adding simply adding class names to a document you can imply state and conditional view logic.” Translation: Niiiice.

Still, it works in most browsers. Pretty fun…and I love that the links still work. (via Swiss Miss).

It was slow, buggy and crashed a lot. The new version 2.0 is a big improvement. It’s faster and more reliable. It even has some new features. Nice job!

Details on the update are available here. No re-install is required if you’re already using it. It just gets automatically better (like wine).

Then I realized that everything has already been done on the Internet. No complaints here. Nice work.

Color Scheme Designer let’s you mess around with color schemes, try them on a mockup Web page and then export the CSS. Many options. Really impressive.

With a little help from Photoshop’s fancy perspective tools, you can do some pretty fancy things.

The results? Just about everything is still more expensive at Circuit City. I wonder if they’ll still liquidate everything anyway. Ah, the uninformed consumer.

Compfight cuts all the nonsense out of a Flickr search and boils it down to what makes Flickr so great: the damn pictures.

That’s right, menus. Well 13 Styles does exactly that. Really nice collection for outright copying or inspiration.
