flyTunes!

It's been a while since I've written anything — anything that wasn't code that is... I've been really busy with a project for a client. I'll have a link to it up once it's cleared.

I've also been at work on something really neat this week: flyTunes. flyTunes allows you to browse albums from the iTunes Music Store on your browser.

I'm sitting in front of my computer in cold sweat and slightly shivering from relief... I woke up this morning to find that my hosting service was down, — leaving me without access to any of my websites and projects!   more »

Javascript and Darfur

The Darfur Wall is great in its simplicity: A wall of white and gray numbers, each denoting a life lost in Darfur. Click on any dark number and donate a dollar to "light" it in recognition of that life.

3D in Flash (Plus source code)

Friday, May 02, 2008   —   Vienna 0 Comments

I came across an old peice of Flash work I did about 2 years ago amongst some of my old files on the computer. I did this when I was developing a Flash website as part of the Dark Gloriole video game project. I eventually abandoned the website idea this because building the game demanded too much time.

But what I have left is a neat little peice of a 3D engine implemented in Flash — complete with backface-culling an all! Some time in the future, when I have time I'll revisit this whole 3D thing, it was a lot of nerdy fun.

Google's keeping its ears close to the ground

Thursday, May 01, 2008   —   Vienna 0 Comments

It seems people at Google keep their ears close to the ground — or at least pays attention to what the guys at 37Signals say.

You've probably seen that Google has rolled out an auto-complete feature for it's front page. As the user enters their query into the search bar, a dropdown list of suggestions appears with the number of search results estimated for each suggested query.

What you might not have known is that 37Signals had suggested this exact feature a while back in a post titled "Better Google". I find all this curious because Google has some of the most stringent requirements to adding features to its famously sparse front page.

Here are snapshots of 37Signals idea, and Google implementation 37Signals Better Google
