I have stopped using tags.
”[…] Most offline/online apps allow you to search through titles and content, anyway.” I’ve used a bunch of bookmarking apps, GTD apps, etc. I tried to grasp the usefulness of tagging everything but it just does not work for me.  1. Having to go through several clicks to give it a tag is time consuming. 2. Most offline/online apps allow you to search through titles...

Genius Ways To Use #Photoshop Smart Objects *Why...
“The payoff is simple. The [smart objects] copies act as instances, so updates made to one [smart object] will be made to all [smart objects]. If I decide to change the titles to red and bold, I can do it once instead of three times. I can easily test out different visual elements (like adding a gradient to the entire chunk) and see immediately how it will look across all 3 instances.”...

Some people take public holidays too seriously.
Honestly, wouldn’t you think this was ridiculous? I asked a friend who works as an undisclosed position to meet up so she could give me some photos she took of me while on a trip. She noted that she was on leave and could only meet up next year. WTF. I’m asking for photos not a partnership! Posted via email from kaypearl’s posterous | Comment »

If you rarely check Facebook, then it’s most likely the first time you go on there, you’ll get a huge list of notifications on the right side of your screen. The problem that their front-end coders is probably too lazy to fix is how the top of notifications panel is hidden under the blue menu bar when you have too many notifications.

In a marketplace that is focused on products that are newer, faster, lighter and shinier, design work is inherently perishable. Part of this is larger trends and fashion (for a period of time cars had fins), and part of this is simply ongoing visual change as...

Style versus design
Why understanding the difference is what it’s all about by Jeffrey Zeldman My father was a Sunday painter, and his art books played a formative role in my childhood. Like many kids, I was fascinated by sheer representation. I lost myself gazing at painstakingly rendered engravings of battling gladiators, picturesque villages, and Roman ruins at sunrise. I understood art to be synonymous...

Photoset - Metro Hotel Sydney Central
So, we decided to stay at Metro Hotel Sydney Central before our graduation. It’s a 4-star hotel, though, I personally don’t think it deserves a 4-star rating.  I’m not really sure if it’s because we chose the standard rooms but I say it was more of a 3-star. Anyway, I took some photos during breakfast which was awesome. He-hey! I found it in Google Maps!: ...
