Mouse gestures have been one of the top reasons to use Opera for a good while now. Instead of clicking back, mouse gestures let you just drag left, etc. But no longer do you have to give up DHTML to use them (at least not completely): Get a mozilla implementation for mouse gestures at surfmind.com

Yesterday Erin of DesignWritings pointed to a collection of tools for usability testing that I think are worth repeating and remembering.

Signed up for Adobe Studio after seeing molly's post about her work on it. Looks to be a great set of tools, well thought out and a pleasure to use. I'm especially happy about the plug-in which allows multiple file uploads to the design team area - so you can get those local work files into a shared versioning system. Right now it's free to beta test, and worth taking a look at.

Ugh, this site doesn't look good to Deuteranopes [pop-up preview]. Meryl shared her post about this Vischeck service for color blind image/website simulations.

Ah, nothing better than to start the day off with the yeasty smell of fresh baked misinformation. 1) If you know what you're doing technically, you can implement flash without forcing your users to choose flash or not (and without hurting search engine relevance). 2) If you know what you're doing artistically, you can enhance interactivity without hurting download time.3) If you start your day by writing pissy comments, you might need more coffee (this one is more of a personal reminder).

I've posted about this before, but somehow I missed the Little Boxes info. Perhaps this will help my efforts to transport this site to an all CSS layout.

This week has been busy, add the national climate into the mix and this site doesnt get the daily posts it deserves. Thankfully a refreshing weekend is ahead, including but not limited to: time to spend with the templates, code clean-ups, and new feature improvements. Meanwhile, check out all of the interesting stuff bump has been posting.

Things are going from messy to chaotic with my re-coding effort. Despite the fact that my unfinished new page code works on 0% of all browsers, I'm learning quite a bit. My goal here is to have the site render as intended for level 5+ browsers, all others will fully access content, but in an old school Netscape 3 kinda way. Designing for this type of content separation from layout is very important to me, but achieving more than a super simplistic layout seems overly complicated. But then again, once upon a time tables seemed that way too. I've been using CSS since IE3 was new, but now it's time to learn the higher level stuff for the newer generation of browsers, time to get my hands dirty and figure this out. Guess I'll start from scratch next weekend.

My context for information seeking is now completely skewed towards keeping up with news and thoughts on the recent tragedy, so pardon me in advance if my posting becomes a bit thin. I think I'll get back into the task of revamping this site's coding to refocus.

I'm not sure when bookmarklets started being called favelets, but I'm not complaining. Am I missing something, or are these really the same? HaTTiP to zeldman.

If you've been to one of Tufte's evangelical roadshows [noel's notes], or read one of his 3 books [NYT book review], you may appreciate this collection of timetables from 1600 and later [lib of cong]. I found an appreciation of more recent printing methods (especially in terms of alignment). It's a bit easier to see the value of information design when viewing the efforts of another era. Perhaps more modern day info design falures are easier to block out or ignore because they are so pervasive and ingrained?

Inspired by a post on metafilter mentioning this image search site, I thought I'd list a few more common ones, as well as some I haven't found before. I have a feeling that there are a bunch out there that just aren't easy to locate when you need 'em, I'll add more as I find them. Know of any to add? post them in a comment!altavista img srcgoogle img srcistockphotodittolycos img srck-12 education imgslib of cong collectionsanimal picsdmoz list of royalty free*dont be a crook, follow the copyright restrictions for each of these sites.**in case you're wondering about this style of this post, I'm not cam, it just happened.

You may notice a few interface issues and weirdnesses over the extended weekend and into this week, I'm transforming the HTML from table based to CSS based for quicker rendering time, better validation and more portability. If you'd like to view a sample of this, the about page is what I'm using as a testbed - bug reports will be repayed with copious karma. A few other improvements are ready to be rolled in as well, such as an improved xml based news column. All of the above improvements will be on a short hold until I finish Feature article #2, a review of web based color pickers.
