Links Round Up for 12/19/10
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
- Tech Parents Tech (google): Google made a resource for the goto tech person in the family. It has video tutorials for some of the most common questions we’ll get from family members this holiday season. I love Google.
- On Speaking (simplebits): Dan Ceaderholm is one of my web design heros, and here he offers some great advice on speaking, which is definitely something I’d like to do if ever given the opportunity.
- Web Design by Gender: This info graphic explores the differences between male & female web designers. It’s pretty interesting. Check out the color graph for each gender.
- Behind the scenes of the 37signals Redesign (37signals): I love how clean and classy 37signals’ designs are- especially when it comes to their homepage. This is some great insight into the design decisions they make; it’s something every web designer should read.
- Editorial: RIM seems to be as lost as my Blackberry (engadget): Great article. Sums up my thoughts completely. It’s a shame that such a trailblazer has fallen so far behind in their own game.
- Word Lens (kottke): New augmented reality app for translating signs/text. Watch the video; be amazed.
Merry Christmas everyone! If you need some ideas for last minute gifts, check out my list of Tech Gifts for 2010. Also, I saw Tran-Siberian Orchestra last night. It was my fourth time seeing them; if you get the chance, you need to go. It’s an amazing show (musically & theatrically) and it will put you in the Christmas spirit!
