Dolly Mix 25.02.10 – iMaxi, GoogleLabs & my doppelganger?

iMaxi on Etsy

So yeah, the iMaxi – it simply had to happen.

Some tools graduating and falling from Google Labs, one of the best ones to graduate is ‘Forgotten Attachment Detector‘.

All sorts of funny – Stephanie from LazyTown. From Wikipedia:

“Stephanie (played by Julianna Rose Mauriello)[1] is a fictional main character from the children’s television show LazyTown…She has pink hair and is often referred to as ‘Pinky’ by Trixie.”

Tutorial: ‘How to Pull Your Google Buzz with jQuery‘ – if that’s what you’re into.

Typography: lovely open source fonts from ‘The League of Moveable Type‘, thanks to Stu for the linky.

Dolly Mix 23.02.10 – WordCamp, IE6 Funeral and Interface Wins!

Hmm....

WordCamp Ireland is less than 2 weeks away and almost full – grab a ticket here for a fun-packed WordPressy weekend in Kilkenny.

IE6 Funeral takes place on March 4th. Sadly there won’t be any such event here just yet thanks to Ireland’s dial-up districts. A snapshot of browser stats from X Comms’ busiest sites show 14% still using IE6 compared to 23% on IE7 and 28% on IE8.

Congrats to Kev on his nabbing 2nd place at Interaction ‘10 in Savannah with his future mobile interfaces project.

Oxegen headliners announced via @oxegenofficial earlier – Jay Z, Eminem, Black Eyed Peas, Kasabian The Prodigy, Florence and The Machine Paolo Nutini, Faithless, Stereophonic, David Guetta, Vampire Weekend, Hot Chip, Calvin Harris, The Temper Trap… – no major surprises.

Via NCBI – Research Proposal: Accessibility Support for Non-HTML Web Technologies, read the skinny here.

A year to the week since the ‘Joe Rospars talk turned FiannaFail.ie‘ website launch and the party in power are looking for a Director of Communications – don’t rush all at once, now.

Microsoft Sustainability

Far-fetched and possibly pointless piece of MS promo but it does have some really sexy green-screening, animation and UI design in there too.

Caption competition

I’m too wrecked to think of anything funny enough but I think there may be potential for humour…
