Performancing for Firefox
I’m giving Performancing for Firefox a go, because Asa thinks it’s ‘kick ass’. We’ll see about that! Already crashed one time. But whether that’s because of a combination of this blog-tool, SpellBound and/or my online banking transaction in one go. Maybe… By the way: This isn’t the only in-browser 3rd party blogging tool I’ve seen.…

The Orange Icon, part 2
Microsoft has decided. The feed indicator in IE 7 is still orange! Most surprisingly it’s the same one that Firefox has. Well, not so much of a surprise, because it was the Mozilla foundation who kindly ‘donated’ it: Thanks again to the Mozilla team for making the icon available and helping us do the right…

Other december 9 surprises
Besides the release leakage of GE for Mac. Del.icio.us take-over Like Yahoo! taking hold of del.icio.us. Just as LookSmart did with Furl. Update: The take-over sounds a little strange to me as Yahoo! was working on it’s own del.icio.us/Furl with their My Web 2.0 BETA. Which can save ‘personal’ pages and tag them. We’ll see…

Google Earth for Mac OS X around the corner…
Or is it??? I’ve blogged about it before. Well, it was more a kind of ‘wishing out loud‘. But just yet the Google Earth fairy brought me a package. It looks, smells and tastes like a Mac app. Unfortunately I’m at work and my Mac is at home. So I cannot be sure. A quick…

Animated shorts
I love ’em! Especially the CGI kind. Having some experience with 3D apps, I know how time- and resource-consuming it is to make a perfect animation. Not to mention the skills needed. (Allright, stop-animation with clay is harder. Sorry Gromit. But I hear … they’re also turning to computers to speed up the workflow. Heresy,…

{Canvas} demo
If you’re viewing this post with a release candidate of Firefox 1.5, take a look at the below <canvas> demo. For now, you can only walk through a maze from a first person perspective. But it runs smooth and looks pretty impressive. See the “3D Walker” demo on Canvascape PS: It is rumored to work…

Exploring the earth from your couch, part 2
Imagine yourself sitting down on your couch in front of your television, as usual. A drink in one hand, the TV remote in the other. Don’t worry, the chips are within reach. Within the press of a button, or two. You spin up a three dimensional globe and with the directional buttons on your remote…
