I was looking for some free fonts and came across this free Webfonts project by Google. It’s pretty cool. There are some 229 odd free fonts for use both on your desktop as well as the net. And they even have a little utility there to help you keep them up to date. You can [...]
I didn’t take HTML 5 very seriously till I saw this video made by the Mozilla team. I still can’t believe its all in Javascript. That’s right it’s a video built from code. Even the music is built from code. Too bad it didn’t run in Firefox but it ran pretty well on Chrome.
The Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) is a very interesting offering from Microsoft. Basically its a free guideline on how to manage the IT service life-cycle … a Microsoft version of ITIL for MS products. I gave it a quick look over and it does seem to cover everything ITIL does but in its own way. Too bad [...]
A few months back I upgraded one of my experimental applications to work with touch devices like the iPad and iPhone. I’ve been in the mood to experiment some more with development for touch devices, in particular Android devices. There are quite a few hardware devices out there, Galaxy Tab being the most popular …in [...]
This table is a very interesting depiction of Google’s developer APIs. Just like the periodic table from chemistry. And looking at some of the individual elements, we have Android representing Hydrogen, Transit Feed representing Oxygen and Double Click for Publishers representing my all time favorite chemical element … Plum Bum (aka Lead).
Came across this funny comparison of organization charts in various technology companies. Amazon seems pretty old fashioned. Google seems very matrix. Facebook … well I don’t know what to make of it. And Microsoft …well that explains why there is a popup for new security updates every 2-3 days.
All you techies out there, watch this and think about it! And for all you fools who take open source lightly, think again.
Came across this pic on All Things D. Just 2 days ago when I decided to try out Google+ I got the message that it was under testing with limited invites. And then in about 20 mins I got an invite and went ahead to invite most of my contacts and today it looks like [...]
I came across this very interesting “Insights for Audience” section on YouTube. Basically it’s an interactive dashboard where you can query on gender, age, location and interests and then interactively drill down and play with the data. Very cool indeed. I guess its always good to know what other people like you are looking for [...]
Came across this article through Bayt & Creativity Online. This could be the best ever invention of all time. Design your own chocolate and then print it. No more struggling with cones and other baking paraphernalia. I love the concept of 3d printers and using chocolate is just genius.
