UT Libraries Technology Pros

Adobe makes a plug-in that allows you to see on your mobile device exactly what you're working on (as long as it's on a server - like the dev server). I've found it very handy when working on something and wondering how it will look on the iPad. The plug-in works for a myriad of devices including droid stuff. You have to use it in Google Chrome and be signed in, but it's well worth the effort. Those of you with smart phones could load the plug-in on the smart phone and iPad at the same time.

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.

This is an example of a beautifully designed, built and IA'd website. They intend for this website to be a "journey website" in which you spend time exploring the site. The designer must be very happy becase his/her vision was allowed to be shown. The details of the website are too consistent to be a site designed by committee. I'm not commenting on it's compliance or browser capabilities, just the design. Sigh.

Some questions to consider as we work on the TIS brand.

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.

Some great ideas of things that would make digital calendars more useful.

Just like Maslow's hierarchy, this is a great example of how hardware, software, apps and services have developed and can be examined in our lives.

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.

Very interesting read, especially for those of you that link devices.

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.
