Submersed Songs - Fish That Make Music | Fresh Creation

“Submersed Songs is a sound installation that generates MP3 player remixes through the movements of four live fish. The animals’ movements and the proximity among them work as a parameter for mixing and spatializing the audience’s music tracks in real time.”

Version Control for Designers

Joern — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:06:07 +0000

Version control for Designers (based on Git workflow):

“Version control, also known as source control or revision control is an integral part of any development workflow. Why? It is essentially a communication tool, just like email or IM, but it works with code rather than human conversation.”

paulhammond.org: Conditional classnames

Interesting use of conditional comments:

If you use this HTML:
  
with CSS that looks something like:
div.foo {
    color: inherit;
}
.ie div.foo {
    color: #ff8000;
then you get all of the advantages of using conditional comments to work around problems in Internet Explorer, without the extra HTTP request of an IE-only stylesheet.

Yahoo! Releases OpenID Research (Yahoo! Developer Network Blog)

Joern — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:27:05 +0000

Interesting finds. This research shows, that OpenID is not yet for everybody and there’s a lot of work to be done to make this technology mass compatible.

“None of the users had heard of OpenID before, and none of them even noticed the OpenID sign-in box displayed below the traditional email/password login form on the site. In many cases, the test subjects entered their Yahoo email address and Yahoo password to try to log in. We had told the test subjects that they could sign into the site using their Yahoo! account without having to register.”
