I'm not a developer but a designer. What do developers showcase in their portfolio? How do you describe the projects you've worked on? What is a recruiter looking for when visiting your website?

Felt exactly the same. I visited the website yesterday and thought "This design has been around for years and it still feels fresh". There was nothing to change about it, but I guess this redesign didn't happen just for the sake of follow

Oh, it's that Grey Period [1] all over again... I loved the previous design [2]. It only used 2 fonts (and default ones, for that matter): Georgia and Arial. But it didn't feel 'cheap'. The font-size, letter-spacing, small-caps, weight

When living in Paris, I wanted to attend many concerts but oftentimes I ended up not going because I couldn't find anyone to come with me. Looking at the many concerts I missed because of that, I decided to automatically buy 2 tickets for e

Thanks, it worked. The traffic was yesterday so huge that I wasn't even able to trigger that "wrong password" prompt again. I guess today, everything went back to normal.

Microsoft actually did update its logo recently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Microsoft.svg It's not italicized anymore but I prefer the old one, though Andrew's choice of font is nice as well.

Designers often come up with such kinds of "unsolicited advice", hoping to get noticed by the big companies, and it's actually the first time I see someone succeeding in this approach (which is a good thing I guess). What strikes me is that

This reminds me of the Dogme 95 movement from Danish directors[1]. It's a set of 10 filmmaking rules among which is: > The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable (if there is too little light for exposure the scene m

You're right. It is responsive and not exactly elastic. But even without changing your browser's width and just zooming in, the layout goes from 3 columns to 1 column and doesn't just make everything bigger. So you could say it is elastic t

Thanks for your explanation. I know a bit about programming but it only comes down to PHP or jQuery variables, functions, and loops. Lisp looks very interesting and I had already heard about it (through pg obviously). It might just be the

I've always wished for a device that would seamlessly log the things that I do, but in a text format. I'd call it "Log of my life" (and I hear the Queen song "Love of my life" when I think about it). It wouldn't take pictures like the Mem

I'm not exactly a programmer. Could you explain how Lisp can be simple and powerful?

I've always loved SoundCloud. I remember how it was difficult for people like me to upload their music on the web in order to share it. The only viable option was the MySpace music section (which required a different MySpace account). Even

One issue I've also encountered is websites you use languages to indicate countries. For example, I often appreciate browsing a shop in English (better content, more comments), so I select it from the dropdown, but end up browsing the US or

I think neither suit the context very well. I would have thought MS to come up with something more intuitive to use, like Steam's Daisy Wheel: http://i.imgur.com/l7Rmw.png It's not ABCDEF (good for learning), nor QWERTY (good for keyboard

To avoid too much hassle, I once decided to only use classes. So instead of having #header, #nav and #footer, I had .header, .nav and .footer. When learning CSS, we're told to use id's whenever we're targeting a unique element that isn't me

Most people do one of two things: (1) move the mouse up to the new tab, click it, and then move it back down to the main page or (2) momentarily shift their mouse hand over to the keyboard and press a shortcut that moves browser ta
