Lots of great examples of design, educational sites (check out story of stuff), online tools, etc.

A flickr collection of search interface examples and patterns compiled by Peter Morville. Includes a few libraries.

Industrial Design website: I'm not jazzed so much about the website; but the content features several examples of truly creative solutions to everyday issues. This is the kind of work that is not the "easy solution".

While covering Facebook's systematic elimination of privacy, we've been deluged with questions from readers asking how to restore certain Facebook privacy protections. Sadly, many such settings appear to be lost forever. Here are the most glaring examples.

Zurb story here: http://zurb.com/responsive/reading Kia's site is: http://www.kia.com Number 6 is Kia's new RWD. I went to the kia.com site and the RWD was pretty awful. * MIN WIDTH: -- images and text are blurry. -- horizontal nav completly disappears. -- the 3 stacked horizontal bars that should pull up a menu.....don't. They drop the main page and you're stuck facing a carousel and some monumental horizontal and vertical scrolling to see only models of vehicles. * MAX WIDTH: -- they don't have a max width and try to stretch into infinity. Stretched across 2 or 3 of my displays and I have the full site.....blurry. * MOBILE SITE: -- it's a mini-version of the main desktop site. -- this works well on the iPad in both vertical and horizontal orientation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've seen great RWD when the min- and max-width are defined and the three horizontal bars become what used to be the horizontal navigation. But Kia's desktop RWD fall short in my opinion. If anyone ever reads this, I wonder what their impressions would be.

Another good example of subjects as portals. Various results are separated by tabs.

It's in French, but you can figure it out. This is called a Parallax Website (Google it). The parallax solution isn't for every site nor product. You wouldn't want to do a user's manual in parralax. But when it's done correctly the impact is meaningful and rich.

This is a really sleek looking top-layer framework specific for mobile touch interaction. The Art of Manliness just launched their new website, I suggest visiting http://artofmanliness.com on both your desktop and iPad to see the difference.

Just click on "Space Race" on the bottom left-hand side of the navigation menu, enter your UT e-mail address. They gave me 8gb more of space for doing just that.

Interesting article.

AOL "creates an experience" where you can gather all of your e-mail addresses in one place. And you DON'T even need an AOL e-mail address to use it. Interesting..... I'm giving Alto a test drive with a few e-mail accounts.

I'm not sure if this will work with our constraints, but I thought the TIS web-brainiacs could determine if this is good or unusable. From this URL---> http://www.greensock.com/gsap-js/# <--- with that files can play you source download>Fancy new download experience that includes CDN links.

If you think Windows 8 is just a change in GUI, you're already behind in the future of computing and GUI's. This article talks about the future of the computer and GUI's. Very interesting read.

I've been using it for about a week and it seems pretty stable. Very handy to update or add something to a card while using the iPad.

Yes, silly. But inspirationally it has valid design merit.

A handy site on which you can view your own files in relation to the various types of color blindness. In my experience with the site, the option to view your images online is better than the option to download the plug-ins. The plug-ins kept crashing for me. But your experience may be different.

The design is not my personal style, but I believe the execution is stunning. Thought I'd share with the group.

Some experiments CSS 3 patterns.
