Website footer design

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Another great change recently in crowerks web design practice; footer design. 2 years ago footers contained a slew of links, contact info and few other useful attributes. A year ago the trend was to minimize the overall appearance and content down to the nuts and bolts contact info and a copyright (as if those really [...]

Facebook Spam

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

We all love it, we all hate it. Mom-n-pops have found facebook. Sure, its been a long time in the making but has anyone else noticed the number of “pages” supporting small businesses growing in addition to the number of “pages” supporting nothing at all? Yeah, Im talking about you Mr. or Mrs. Bonfires! It [...]

G1 on the way and Skype on iPhone…

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I decided to get a G1 in the interrim while awaiting an (maybe June 09) iPhone hardware update. And speaking of new things iPhone, I just wanted to say thanks to Skype for developing for the iPhone. I’ve been using Fring quite a bit but, honestly, have been missing the friendly UI of my dear [...]

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I’ve been working on several email campaigns for a number of clients and am putting together a list of “Email Client Compliance Techniques”. When first beginning this style of advertising several years ago, it made sense that if, during creation, these newsletters displayed correctly in a set of browsers they would translate properly in any [...]

MooTools

Monday, March 9th, 2009

I’ve been working it in to projects for a while now but I have to say I am a huge MooTools fan. You’ve got flash-like animated UI elements ready to go in a hurry, its super lightweight and best of all; it seems to like iPhones. I have a feeling we’re going to be seeing [...]

Social Network(s)

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Is it just me or is it enough work to maintain one piece of the social network. By the time I’ve thought about my twitter account, uploaded photos to my facebook, tried to find my login info for my orkut, avoided myspace entirely and jotted down thoughts for my blog I’ve logged 8 hours on [...]

I know I know its been a loooong time since posting here. Funny how life gets in the way of technology! Some of you know but for those that don’t, we had the wonderful opportunity to work with Gramicci last year (Thanks Brit!) dreaming up screen print ideas that they could incorporate in their new [...]

mrsa-superbug

Monday, March 10th, 2008

well mrsa is what it is so far believed to be. meaning methicillin- resistant staphylococcus aureus. basically a super bug that once treated with penicillin has figured out how to morph or adapt and is now immune to penicillin. actually a rather amazing little “super bug.” we went to seaside twice… where cory was tortured. [...]
