Update to my highlight/fadeout example - now with CSS hotness

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:28:00 -0500

Yesterday I posted an example of highlight/fadeout effects done with jQuery. It wasn't necessarily that exciting, but it's not something I've done before so it was fun to build. Fellow evangelist (and my boss, so yeah, his comments get special attent...

Creating a highlight/fadeout text effect on a tag cloud

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:17:00 -0500

Yesterday I blogged a simple example of how to turn an RSS feed into a tag cloud. Today reader JP commented that it would be cool if I could mimic an effect he saw in a Flash based tag cloud. Basically, as you mouse over each word, they light up. Her...

Bad use of tablet space - an example

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:18:00 -0500

I came across something interesting in a tablet app today and I thought it was a great example of bad design. I hate to go critical, especially for a service I love, and especially since I'm no expert in tablet design myself, but I thought it would b...

Detecting invalid HTML with JavaScript

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:35:00 -0500

As a blogger, I write quite a few blog posts. I hate RTEs (Rich Text Editors) so I'll typically do most of any desired HTML by hand. Normally this isn't a big deal. My blogware can handle paragraphs and code formatting. I typically just worry about b...
