there is an interesting piece on teenvogue (don’t ask how i found it) and it has a rather interesting point of view on social media websites. if you are a loser, and somehow your class-mates friended you on facebook, you followed them on twitter and whatever else the kids are doing nowadays, now there is the technology to feel being left-out to the max.
things like the one below is probably seen pretty much: …
4chan’s leader, moot, giving ted speech.
motion design: definitely art, definitely underrated.
“Motion Design” Center : “What is Motion Design ?” from Motion Plus Design on Vimeo.
what is it?
it is a simple jquery plugin helping design more responsive and adaptive websites and web applications with almost no setup.
what does it do?
it adds dynamic classes to the <body> depending on the operating system, browser and resolution.
why?
because for ideal responsive web design css is just not enough. it chokes at some point, or has cross-browser and cross-platform issues much more than the wonderful jquery framework.
and also mobile websites don’t have to be ugly, or boring with bulky iphone buttons and very trimmed content, a similar mobile version of the website can be done with this plugin easily. check out the New York Times Global Edition example in the zip or after the jump.
compatibility
I have tried it with microsoft internet explorer v7 and v8, firefox, google chrome, safari, opera on windows, and also with an android device. works perfectly on all of them. on the android device (samsung galaxy s) handles the orientation change nicely too.

twitter voting.
that is the concept. as easy and fast as possible. no membership no settings, no mumbojumbo. login with twitter, ask a question. define two answers. send it to your friends, let them vote. so you can’t decide which dress to wear to prom, ask your friends on twitter. they tweet the link of the answer (with a strong point on their defense) and you decide. tagline is simple, “can’t decide? ask others!” …

so you want to go to holiday. where do you go? probably somewhere your friends have been before, somewhere your travel agent wants to sell, somewhere you seen in a magazine. I didn’t like that, not enough options. why can’t I go to places which are known best, for things I love doing the most? I want to drink the best tea in the world, I want to see best ski resort, I want to see ghost towns, I want to party like never before… I haven’t had a vacation for a long time, but I know when I’ll go I’m gonna need more information to decide. …

There had to be a usb typewriter. With the clickety-clack and all.
When I thought of it recently, I googled it to see if someone has done it.
Someone has done it. And done it wonderfully. Great job! It even writes on paper.
