Airport Check-in, Las Vegas Style

What makes these machines fantastic is that no matter what airline you are flying on, you can check in and print your boarding pass from one convenient machine! One caveat of using SpeedCheck is that they provide no option for checking bags

Are fluid-width designs making a comeback?

FLUID VS. FIXED Before we get into my reasons, I want to clarify what I mean by fixed-width and fluid-width. A fixed-width website has a specific width in pixels. All the content fits into a container of this measure. The container may or may not be visible. This is the most common type of layout being used right now. On the other hand, a fluid-width website uses a percentage measure rather than a pixel measure to specify widths. This means that as you resize the browser window, the design

Is Integrated Marketing the same as Integrating Marketing?

The other day I found myself in a heated discussion about integrated marketing. On the one side, it was argued that integrated marketing is a decade old concept that was proven not to be either practical or particularly effective. The other camp argued that integrated marketing is a core element of anything we call marketing2.0 and regardless of name, is something that is essential for the future of marketing. Both sides of the debate have good arguments and I couldn

Design an Application like a Movie

When an end user steps up to use an application, the whole experience end to end is like a movie.

This Flickr photo set presents a short story, beginning with the discovery of a camera's memory card.While surveying in Denali National Park we happened to go just outside of the park boundary still far from any roads. We got to an area known as the Stampede Trail which runs along the Teklanika River for a while. We were looking for raw materials (stone types) when I came upon this 1GB memory card. We stuck it in Sam's camera to find that it still worked. These are the photos that were on the m

Site Optimization Resulting in a ~40% Conversion Rate

Now that's the kind of conversion rate I wish I could achieve more often. Based on a Google Website Optimizer run on one of my sites from January 14th to today, February 3rd. And the best part is that the aggregate percentage has been rising steadily over the past week, which means that the current effective conversion rate may be 5 to 10% higher than this.

Radiation Shields - Enabling Safe X-Ray Imaging

Radiation Shields - Enabling Safe X-Ray Imaging By Stephen Lamb Radiation shields are large barriers that are designed to block harmful x-ray radiation exposure. Despite many medical benefits that x-ray imaging provides, it is also a potentially dangerous process that can cause cancer or other medical complications unless the proper protection is utilized. Lead barriers are a useful tool in accomplishing radiation protection for many x-ray applications. Lead x-ray shields offer advanced prot

Who Reads the Web Strategy Blog?

Getting information about your blog readership is challenging, as content moves off your site (RSS) it makes it more difficult to find out about your readers. In my case, most of my readers (by a landslide) consume this blog via RSS. Tools like MyBlogLog are interesting, but only a very small and engaged group uses that tool. To make it worse, readers of my blog are not leaving comments here on my blog, but rather in Friendfeed. Now that the over all results are in from the survey, I

Steve Yegge is right in spite of the Mac crowd's belief

Steve Yegge wrote about "Focus Follows Mouse" today and how its lack on Apple's OSX makes him a very unhappy camper. I've always been a vocal supporter of "Focus Follows Mouse" and, just as Yegge, I hate "autoraise" that many people seem to think is identical to "Focus Follows Mouse" with a fiery passion. What is funny is how, after he had admitted to have switched to OSX on all his client machines, the Mac crowd tried everything they could to defend their platform, even when he had shown tha

Does Google Index Flex Content?

Does Google Index Flex Content? Web pages that are designed with Flex Content, that is, using "a module that allows for flexible display of introductory text, title, and an image from any content item," are not spidered by Google, from reports in Google Groups. What are the options, then, if you're a Flex content developer? Just like Flash content, it seems, you should make the same content available in standard HTML for the search engine spiders. This would also help those users visiting y

Rather than roll my own URL regexes, I prefer to let the existing libraries do the heavy lifting. Ruby has a uri library which is fantastic for parsing (and validating) URLs.

Introduction to Unit Testing

Unit testing is relatively new to ActionScript projects. Although FlexUnit has been around for a while it wasn't intuitive to set up and there were a lot of inconstancies with the documentation. Lucky for us, FlexUnit is now built into Flash Builder 4. Although the documentation is still sparse, this tutorial will be a good primer for setting up a Test Suit, going over several unit test examples and showing how to run/analyze them.

In DAM, Flashy does not always mean Flex

I mentioned in an earlier post (about the recent Henry Stewart DAM Symposium ) that one of the big trends right now in the DAM world is a shift toward client apps built on Adobe Flex technology. Sometimes it's hard to tell the Flex from the non-Flex players, however, because the grey-on-grey look and feel can also be achieved with ordinary HTML and CSS, and some vendors have actually used those technologies to achieve a distinctly Flex-like appearance for their new UIs.

I'm remixing some of the highlights topically below, but I'd urge you to read the original conversation too...

Deconstructing Joomla 1.6 SEF Settings

Most people don't read manuals. All we can do is make sure our applications are easy and intuitive for everybody. Joomla does pretty well in that area, hence it's success, but the work is never done. And many third party developers seem to confuse 'options' with 'features', and 'configurability' with 'power'. When working on Nooku, we constantly ask ourselves: "Do we really want the user to make a decision here? Can the system decide this without user interaction?" For each configuration optio

New York Times abandons WPF and Silverlight in favor of AIR

The first version of the New York Times Reader was showcased in 2006 as one of the first and major WPF applications. Then, the Times Reader was ported to Silverlight, so it can work on non-Windows platforms such as Mac OS and Linux. The fact that WPF runs only on Windows was indeed a major concern for such a product. The move to Silverlight was not a big success. The Silverlight version of the Times Reader suffered from technical issues and political rejection from Apple users. There were hun

The Adventures of Seinfeld and Bill

It was a small piece in yesterday's news: Microsoft will partner with Seinfeld to create a set of commercials around Vista. Jerry is hired to fight back the very successful ad campaign, PC vs. Mac. Although Jerry Seinfeld is great, he is not Superman (first appearance), and as such, I am not sure he can help Microsoft fight the bad image of Vista.

Some of you may have noticed the seemingly random thoughts that appear on the very top of this page now. T

It is right there, blind boy, the green box - the one that looks like an ad - is actually the action button 2. The "translate the calendar" link takes you to a landing page for YOU to translate the calendar an
