Muse

What would you cre­ate on the web if you didn’t have to worry about writ­ing code? That’s (appar­ently) the premise behind Adobe’s new web author­ing tool, code-named Muse. Built using Adobe Air, this cross-platform appli­ca­tion will work on Mac, PC, and poten­tially on Linux as well. While in beta, it’ll be free to use. Plans … Read the rest of this item

BookArc for iPad

The BookArc for iPad is a thing of beauty. It’s gor­geous to look at and a per­fect com­pan­ion for the iPad. If you’re con­sid­er­ing get­ting the Apple iPad dock, skip it. Get this instead. It works in por­trait or land­scape. It’s sturdy. It dou­bles as a half­pipe for pix­ies when turned upside down. You need it.

8-Point Star Flower

8-Point Flower is the first of sev­eral pat­tern packs I’ll be releas­ing over the next few weeks. (If you like these, please let me know!) It’s inspired by Islamic geo­met­ric pat­terns (which are pretty fascinating/incredible, I might add).  The zip file con­tains: 6 PNGs (2 trans­par­ent ver­sions not shown); Adobe Illus­tra­tor CS5 (.ai) files — sin­gle block … Read the rest of this item

Using data sets and variables in Photoshop

Hop on over to the OnWired blog where I’ve posted a brief tuto­r­ial on how to start work­ing with vari­ables and data sets in Pho­to­shop. When I spoke in front of RefreshColumbia/CAUG a cou­ple of months ago, I showed a brief demo of how to do this and many in atten­dance didn’t know this was pos­si­ble with Pho­to­shop. (If you … Read the rest of this item

Support 5by5.tv

The 5by5 net­work has cre­ated the pre­miere net­work of pod­casts for geeks, design­ers and devel­op­ers. Their broad­casts are free, but now you can sup­port the shows by becom­ing a sup­porter. If you’re not famil­iar with 5by5, my per­sonal favorite is The Big Web Show hosted by Dan Ben­jamin & Jef­frey Zeld­man. But, to be hon­est, you … Read the rest of this item

Enabling Extensions for Safari 5

Safari 5 was released yes­ter­day, and it finally allows third-party exten­sions. The inabil­ity to extend the browser was one of the things that kept me going back to Fire­fox, and forced oth­ers to switch to Chrome. So about those Exten­sions… They abil­ity to add them isn’t turned on by default. (Prob­a­bly because your aver­age user … Read the rest of this item

CS5 is here.

Cre­ative Suite 5 is here. I’ve had the plea­sure of test­ing out CS5 for the past few months and I’m not exag­ger­at­ing when I say it’s the best ver­sion yet. It runs blaz­ing fast on my Mac mini (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz with 4GB 1066MHz DDR3). Fea­tures like Photoshop’s Con­tent Aware Fill are not to be missed. … Read the rest of this item
