Before Bevo, before Texas teams were the “Longhorns,” before orange and white were the University colors, how did students root for UT?

The 5th annual Big Yell program jam-packed new Student Activities Center multi-purpose room…

CSS3 regions: Rich page layout with HTML and CSS3

CSS3 regions: Rich page layout with HTML and CSS3:

This is a great piece from Adobe Labs. CSS regions and exclusions propose to help developers display web pages like traditional print media (among other things) and Adobe is doing some great things to push HTML5 to the forefront.

I’ve downloaded the prototype so I can play with it so I’ll most likely be posting whatever I come up with soon.

Visual Budget is here!

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:48:23 -0500

The big day is here! Visual Budget has launched at Kickstarter.com, and the race to our fundraising goal of $10,000 begins!

We hope you will join us in our launch-day festivities by being among the first to see our project video. And we ask you to please remember our launch-day task-list to help make this project go viral:

Please visit our Kickstarter page and be one of the first to donate what you can on our opening day. (this link won’t work yet, but it will on [release date])
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/highermedia/visual-budget-an-interactive-guide-to-the-federal
On that same day, please link to that same page on all the social media you use: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn… Brag about your friends who are trying to make something amazing. Tell people why you think this could be exciting. You can even tell people we made you do it.
If you participate on online forums, please let people know about what we are trying to do by sharing a link.

Please give what you can. We accept donations of any size, and we have set up a number of incentives for those who give at certain levels. It’s like PBS, only instead of a tote bag or a mug, we try to make the rewards more fun and engaging. Our backers will become part of our creative process — because we need help to make sure we make something to be really proud of. If you give, we will be asking you for feedback and suggestions all throughout our process. And we’ll also send you something cool in the mail to show our appreciation.

Even if you cannot contribute funds, it will be a great benefit to us if you can help spread the word today. With your help and a little luck, we hope to be front-paged and viral before the day is out.

Thanks for your help and support.

Scott Edward Parazynski, M.D. (b. July 28, 1961 in Little Rock, Arkansas) is an American physician and a former NASA astronaut. He is the only person to have both flown in space and summited Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth.

Parazynski attended junior high school in Dakar, Senegal, and Beirut, Lebanon. He attended high school at the Tehran American School, Iran, and the American Community School, Athens, Greece, graduating in 1979. He received a Bachelor of science degree in biology from Stanford University in 1983, continuing on to graduate with honors from Stanford Medical School in 1989. He served his medical internship at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School (1990). He had completed 22 months of a residency program in emergency medicine in Denver, Colorado when selected for the NASA Astronaut Corps.

He became only the second NASA astronaut to perform four spacewalks during a single shuttle mission.

Make Internet Explorer Render Like Chrome with Chrome Frame

Make Internet Explorer Render Like Chrome with Chrome Frame:

I really hate debugging css in IE6 sometimes so this is some good news. Google’s Chrome Frame plugin for Internet Explorer is public now.

Mashable:

The Chrome Frame plugin can be used for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8. Once the user downloads the plugin, the browser detects the single meta tag added to the site on the developer’s end, and Chrome Frame switches to the Webkit rendering engine.

This is a really cool concept. I’ve been saying the phone should be able to do this for a long time. I like the song too.

Flash vs. HTML5: Adobe Weighs In

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:09:00 -0500

Flash vs. HTML5: Adobe Weighs In:

This is a really good read. It’s a good move on Adobe part to embrace the new technologies. If you could export Flash movies to HTML5/CSS3 that would be sick but I don’t know if that’s the way Adobe is going.

Mashable:

Adobe, understandably, has a different position. It believes that Flash and HTML5 can exist side-by-side and that each has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. I had a chance to talk to Paul Gubbay, Adobe’s VP of design and web engineering, about HTML5, Flash, the emerging mobile landscape and how Adobe fits into this new world.
