Media Temple was the first hosting service I remembered the name. It was around 2007, when I started web design. I was immediately fascinated by their brand, their design, and their philosophy. It looked honest and reliable. I actually ne

I recently designed several themes for a website. To simplify my naming process, I decided to find, like OP did, an already defined list of names and ended up using Paris' Métro stations [1]. Some examples: - Alesia - Concorde

I used to have the same reaction when stumbling upon lists like this. But it has never proved to be a great idea. You get easily overwhelmed by the amount and variety of content available. Before even starting reading one of these books, yo

I always wondered what the odds were of such a collision occuring in space. I realized that the surface of the orbit area is way larger than the Earth's surface. So I imagined satellites and debris located on and moving around the Eart

On a related note, I always wondered if CSS selectors (classes and ids) had any SEO weight, considering they are present in the HTML code. Just in case, for some time I used to carefully choose semantic names for my selectors, which in the

This reminds me of the famous "Phil Collins sound", which basically is a gated reverb applied on the drums, and was discovered by accident during a studio session. http://thecollectivereview.com/hugh-padgham/h
