It's Niiice

By Nick Adams on 11.14.06

The three movies that I can remember making the best use of, or benefiting the most from the Internet have been The Blair Witch Project, Snakes on a Plane, and more recently Borat. Despite the respective internet buzz I never saw the first two in the theaters (and have still yet to see Snakes on a Plane), but this past weekend I broke the trend and saw Borat. Honestly, I was feeling a littl... Read More

In A World Where...

By Nick Adams on 10.26.06

Think the same people who did the motion graphics for the Last Kiss trailer did the motion graphics for the Stranger Than Fiction trailer? Maybe not, but they both seem to have a similar style (i.e. Ugly). Nick: 2, Movie Trailers: 0. High-five? Read More

Blogosphere Talking Points

By Nick Adams on 10.09.06

Note: I am not going to talk about the Google purchase of YouTube. We are so predictable. If Edgar Cayce had an Internet connection he wouldn't need to rely on that creepy trance-like state he so perfected. Because lets face it, trances make you look about as cool as does riding a Segway. But seriously, what makes us so predictable? I'll tell you. It's the fact that, as mini-experts, we... Read More

They Lost Me At Ripoff

By Nick Adams on 09.26.06

I was checking out CSSMania and came across the site for a new product called Switchboard. This product is a kind of hybrid blog/forum and it actually sounds kind of interesting. Plus it's hosted and it's free, which removes the barrier of entry for a lot of people. (We'll see if they can make a business out of it.) But aside from all that, one thing bothered me about the product. The design... Read More

Screw The Status Quo

By Nick Adams on 09.08.06

Seth Godin posts another great piece over at his blog detailing some statements he's heard or read in response to the posing of a new idea. The post is titled "Top ways to defend the status quo" and if your anything like me, this list hits home and is all too familiar. My favorite is number 3: Can you show me some research that demonstrates that this will work? If one thing gets under... Read More

You Missed A Spot

By Nick Adams on 08.22.06

I am a big film fanatic. I could watch movies all day. But to me, the film as an entire creative package is almost more interesting. The title sequences, movie posters, movie websites, trailers, etc. All these supplemental aspects are extremely vital in such a visual medium. But the nature of the industry causes many of these to be executed far from the hands of the creators of the actual fi... Read More

Or Whatever It's Called

By Nick Adams on 08.04.06

iYiYi. Try pronouncing that one. Yea, thought so. Now what is it? That's a little easier, it's an iPod speaker system by Tivoli Audio that launches this fall. Now, what's the thinking behind this name? It's phonetically impossible to pronounce (unless I'm missing something), and as an acronym, it's just as awkward. Maybe they are banking on buzz generated from the weird name (in which case ... Read More

Some Thoughts on Rails

By Zack Gilbert on 07.28.06

While I had thought about doing a simple tutorial on getting Ruby on Rails set up, it seems as though Tom over at Molehill (they are the guys behind Tick, which is a great time tracking application) has already started an excellent series on getting Rails set up on a Windows machine. Or if you're a Mac user, try this amazing article. I used it earlier today to help me setup Rails (and everythin... Read More

I Need A New Phone

By Zack Gilbert on 07.18.06

My current phone is falling apart and I've been having problems recently with the quality of my calls (due to my phone falling apart). I love my service (Verizon) and was recently given the opportunity to upgrade my phone and plan a little bit early (about two months before my plan expires). With this opportunity, I also get $100 off select phones from Verizon. There are about 10 or so that I c... Read More

innerHTML - It Just Feels...Dirty

By Zack Gilbert on 06.26.06

For as long as I've been writing Javascript, I've also had this weird reaction in my stomach whenever innerHTML was used or mentioned. It wasn't anything intense, but really just a small discomfort. innerHTML just never sat well with me. For those that don't know, innerHTML is a proprietary Microsoft function that allows the browser to manipulate the webpage by exchanging the current HTML w... Read More
