CommentI recently put the final touches on one of the biggest projects in my freelance career so far: !Solid Underworld. Don’t let the name fool you, this is no full Flash-site — this was a requirement for my undertaking of the project. No, despite this being a new danish avant-garde clothing brand, the !Solid Underworld website is an XHTML/CSS website, powered by Wordpress. This ensures open standards all the way from the frontend and backend to usability and accessibility.
CommentIt’s been a while since I did any “deconstructions” — animated GIF files showing the various incremental steps in a design — but I was suddenly inspired to do it again.
The above is one of my personal favourite posters deconstructed. I did the poster simply as an invitation to a night of good music [...]
4 CommentsOn the side, I help run a danish Wiki about comicbooks. I recently implemented a script that’ll show random search suggestions in the searchbox. Quite simply, whenever a page is loaded, the searchbox is pre-populated with a random search suggestion.

Revelation Space tells the story of Dan Sylveste, an archaeologist in the far future who uncovers a startling find on a desolate planet called Resurgam. The find points way back in the past and warns of dangerous world-changing events that have already happened and might happen again.
Being the first book in a series of 5, Alistair Reynolds sets up his Revelation Space sets up a universe with the same name. It’s a universe populated by intricate characters who lead very long lives; be it through medicines, nanotechnology or machine consciousness. Super-high technology and multiple identities permeates the entire series, of which I’ve also read Chasm City — book 2. While other authors, both Arthur C. Clarke, Greg Bear and Larry Niven have explored these areas of science fiction, Reynolds details it in a depth I haven’t seen before. Which works really well.
Revelation Space is an alright book. It’s fairly easily digestible, and the cover of the book has a space-ship on it. It’s the kind of book that you’d buy prior to a long flight or train ride. That earns it 3 hearts. For the potential this holds for subsequent books (a potential I sneakingly know will be fulfilled already in book 2), it’s very much worth reading, more so than the three hearts suggest.
2 CommentsTwitter just tweaked their design. Now it looks like this:
Purdy! A few things spring out immediately:
Rounded corners. CSS rounded corners. No beating around the bush here.
If I’m not mistaken, the whole layout is a leetle bit wider. Makes the layout look a bit more relaxed.
The tabs on the right seem a bit more discoverable [...]

It’s 700-something years in the future and for all that time, Wall-E — a cleanup robot — has been hard at work cleaning up the mess left by the humans. One day Wall-E gets an unexpected visit from the stars; the shiny robot EVE has also been given a task. As the curious robot he [...]
11 CommentsIf you’re a Windows user and if you’ve ever exchanged files with a Mac user, chances are you’ve encountered them. Little files called .DS_Store suddenly infecting your otherwise pristine folders. Those are files created by the Mac OSX operating system. Files that store “meta data” about that folder.
17 CommentsYesterday, a Google-created comic-book heralded the arrival of a new web browser: Google Chrome. The accidental unveiling prompted an early announcement by Google that yes, we will indeed see another webbrowser enter the market. So there it is. The company everyone most people love is about to enter a saturated market full of passionate users. [...]
