Jing Project
Posted by David | Filed under Design, Mini Post, TechSmith, Web
TechSmith launch Jing Pro this week and so far it has been well received. One of the things that was key to the successful launch was the new jingproject.com site, which was largely due to work done by my counter- part Nick and one of our amazing writers, Dan. I got to help a little on this one too… I took the essence of the Jing site and tried to build this bridge page on techsmith.com.

Seth Godin is awesome.
Posted by David | Filed under Customer Service, Ideas, Mini Post
Tonight I decided that I should send Mr. Godin an email, thanking him for always finding time to post thought provoking ideas on his blog. I always find his posts interesting and relevent. The thing that struck me tonight was that he emailed me back. (Wow) Within a couple hours. (You kidding?) With a short, but genuine note. (Impressed sigh). Seth is exactly what he asks us to be and it really is awesome.

Totally ripped off.

For several months now I have been trying to get the site that ripped off my design (compare to my archived portfolio site) to do one thing for me. Delete my Google Analytics tracking code from their site.

An Event Apart was awesome. Awesome!

In case you did not catch that, An Event Apart was awesome! What a conference. What speakers. All amazing. I am still unpacking my notes and digesting all the tidbits. More to come as soon as possible.
Check out the Flickr pics.
Summary of the conference.
All speakers centered their conversations around Design, Code, User Experience or Inspiration. Most covered a couple.
Zeldman: “Have empathy.” Jeffery states that a great designer must have empathy for the audience and be a great communicator. “Know your audience and know yourself” he says.

Moble web: A(hhh)mazing on Apple devices
Posted by David | Filed under Apple, Design, Ideas, Mini Post, Web
Its 4:20pm, I am laying on my sofa, tapping out this post. I am using an iPod. I also checked the NFL scores, go Bears! And checked on some banking, and read CNN headlines and… well you get the idea. Amazing!
Now that I can, checking my designs on a mobile platform is key.
Are you checking your sites one a mobile platform?
A little surprise

Today I noticed a comment on one of my Flickr image, it had a link. I was surprised and flattered to see what was written.
Thanks to the person that posted those comments.
Wine Noob
Posted by David | Filed under Mini Post
I am a wine noob, I am not afraid to admit it. I have no idea what I am looking about when I stand in the grocery/liquor/wine store, staring at the shelves/racks of wine. I am no closer at restaurants. Often I find myself assuming that the higher the price the better the wine… or maybe the rarer the wine. Read the rest of this entry »

My Wordle – A very cool tool
Posted by David | Filed under Ideas, Mini Post, Web
Today I was introduced to Wordle.net. This is an amazingly cool site/tool. It is also a major time suck (in a good way). I wish I could have had this during my early graphic design classes where we were constantly challenged to experiment with type —this could have been a source of massive inspiration.
