I like the direction, but http://contrastrebellion.com/ should be your friend. You should consider tweaking the font weights and contrast ratio, I have pretty good eyesight, but the bold light greys were uncomfortable to re

This is a great idea, congrats on the simple design. Shared it on Twitter and plenty of people liked it - hope you've prepped your server. How did you get the idea and how many people worked on it?

Rather than banning it completely, why not set some limits? Also kids learn by modding existing games, see the recent Minecraft / Visual Studio news. I agree, wasting time on shooters probably isn't a good idea, but there are very

I'd get advice from an employment lawyer right away, sounds quite dicey your situation, I'm sure your manager had to fill out a bunch of forms and give specific reasons to put you on a 30 day review. Can you find out what those re

Hey Eli, Wow, looks very full featured for a side project. Must have taken a lot of effort to get it to this stage. I'm an Axure user (also use pixate and framer), so I gave your tool a quick whirl (using Chrome). I think some of the w

I wouldn't say it was dictatorial - Metro was a strong set of guidelines and templates to help developers get a good enough looking app without the need of a UI designer (can't say it worked though). Nothing was stopping you from

To answer your question what to do with your knowledge, how about building an app just to get the ball rolling. This way you are also building a portfolio, which will help in your job interview. If you're lacking ideas for a project th

Agree, yes it might 'wow' you at first, but when you see this used more and more on other sites, the novelty is gone. What does it really add, other than slowing down your scrolling (my laptop: i7, discrete gfx) and briefly distra

Congrats for shipping and thanks for the write-up. I think you should follow up with how you found developing the game with Unity3D. Also had a quick look at your game. I tried the web version. I like the animation of the astronaut, but all

I'm a beginner and Clojure is on my list to try out, so this tutorial comes in handy. However I was looking to use LightTable - is this still a good choice? http://lighttable.com/

Excellent - I'd be willing to spend around $20 - PDF is my preferred format (iPad and Desktop PC), but agree with notdrunkatall, why not offer all three.

Same here - I was excited to see this kind of book, as I'm trying to improve my maths knowledge and the conciseness and structure of Ivan's book was attractive, but no eBook option stopped me right there. While we're on the topic of exams,

As the price point is a deciding factor, do you think Microsoft will subsidize the Surface as they did with the XBox?

Tried it and it made me smile - you're much prettier than me, so I take my comment back referring to your drawing as sh*tty. Just wanted to illustrate what was happening in my head. I know it's very subjective anyway, so please don't take i

I've done my share of recruiting and here is some brutally honest but hopefully helpful feedback: 1) The caricature of yourself is the first thing I noticed and it put me off. It's a bad drawing and triggered a negative responsive - I now h

Appreciate what you're saying and I did get that Watson doesn't truly "understand" us yet, but still, what has been achieved so far is pretty impressive and would have useful applications even in its current form. Curious to see what IBM wi

Delicious is not being closed down, this should be old news by now: http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20101217/tc_pcworld/yahoower... So there is no need to jump ship, unless you want to of course.
