While the video looks interesting, it reeks of that same potential I fear Microsoft never manages to achieve, these days. Nothing about Microsoft seems to excite me anymore… but what are the alternatives, to the overly bloated computer giant, that nowadays, seems only to thrive on special effects (Vista, proving case in point!)?
Google seems to be expanding its range of useful free products and services… Latest in a long line is Google Video (Beta), a YouTube style video collection. Like YouTube, the videos can be embedded, which is good news for anyone looking to add a little footage to their blog posts! And here’s one I thought was appropriate, seeing today is Earth Day!
These are some sites really well worth a look:
Firstly, check out Robert Swetnam’s Me Blog! One smart gentleman… Tons of informative stuff!
Michael Flannagan is back with a hot new look! So glad you’re back, my friend! (P.S. The young gun who introduced me to the word ‘blog’).
On the same theme: here’s another rock-solid web-designer… David Behan – and doesn’t talk bull but produces first rate web… very much someone who talks to you on your own level.
Seriously, if you want something done, or a website built… I couldn’t think of three finer names in the business… but that’s just my opinion as a beginner!
Animator Vs. Animation. This is the follow up! – I’m luvin’ this stuff!
“WordPress Naked Day” is coming up on April 9th, 2008. This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honours web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.
It’s something I might consider doing, but considering all the problems I have had the last week with “weblog breakdown” I’m petrified at the idea of tinkering with my theme and going scriptless… but if it’s a tribute to designers I might have to be brave!
You can find out more on how to go naked after the jump:
