Time to ditch the iPhone? Maybe.
This UI looks like a winner. Not sure I’m convinced that it’s real or even better than the iPhone but it sure looks snazzy!

- The Pyramid Principle November 12, 2008Roger Ehrenberg just wrote a post entitled: “The Pyramid Principle: Venture Investment in a Capital-Efficient World” I think it’s very much worth reading if you’re as passionate about making Vancouver a world class tech center as we are. It will require a culture that pushes rapid assessment and admission of mistakes, rewards innovation and compensates heavily [...]Danny Robinson

- That's all he wrote March 28, 2008This probably goes without saying, but five and a half years after I launched this blog things here are pretty much dead. It's not from a lack of interest, but time. Between running my own business, developing new products, and everything that being a dad entails, writhing pithy thoughts on a personal blog is a luxury I can no longer afford. This is hardly goodbye though. I write nearly every day over at SlideShowPro covering all our latest product developments, and there will likely be a re-focusing of Dominey Design sometime this year as well. And then of course there's Twitter, which I found to be rather silly at first blush, but am using more and more to post links and things similar to the "Enjoying" stuff I used to post here. So if for whatever reason you'd like to know what I'm up to, those are the best places to look.
- Flat input buttons in Leopard? Here's why. October 26, 2007After installing Leopard this afternoon one of the first things I noticed had nothing to do with the updated operating system, but rather how form input buttons appeared in Safari. The classic silver aqua look had been replaced with a flat, unattractive, style that (for me anyway) left a lot to be desired. But then I noticed something even stranger -- not every web site had this problem. Inputs on some web sites looked like they used to, while others (including most of mine) were flat and fugly. So I googled around, but couldn't find anything written about this. So I started messing around with my style sheets, turning attributes assigned to forms and inputs on and off, until I found the culprit: background. Turns out in Safari 3 if you assign a background color to inputs the browser removes the aqua style button and uses the flat-button style to replicate the color you're after. So if you have flat button syndrome, kill the background color assigned to your inputs (or create a specific class for inputs that has background set to none) and you're be good to go.
- Screenshots: Director 1.1b August 15, 2007We're currently in private beta over at SlideShowPro for the next versions of both SlideShowPro (our Flash photo gallery component) and SlideShowPro Director (our CMS). The latter is going through the most dramatic changes, and has pretty much been completely overhauled from top to bottom. I'll write more about both later, but for here are a couple of screenshots that show Director's central "Snapshot" page in two themes - black and white. Here's a look: Snapshot page: black (default) theme Snapshot page: white theme
- iPhone Day! June 29, 2007Can you stand it? Oh my god, it's iPhone HYSTERIA day. I flipped around cable this morning before heading into the office and it was being fondled by numerous television news outlets. You just can't buy hype like this. Or maybe you can. Anyway, for those who can't unshackle themselves from their jobs or wait in line at a local Apple store, here's a video you'll appreciate from the Olde English guys (who made that classic "Writers of Lost" clip), and hosted by the sexy things at Super Deluxe. Enjoy.
