Instant Web Apps

01 Sep 2006

zc_logo.gifHaven’t had time to “play” with this yet. But Zoho Creator looks amazing. I have looked at the Zoho Virtual Office app, and it looked good, but I am already married to google (spreadsheets and writely).

Now, Zoho Creator, looks different. It looks like a great tool for inputing data and displaying data, which is the basis of all web apps. I am looking forward to trying it out!



Ethernet Wiring Diagram

24 Aug 2006

Ethernet PocketModAdded another PocketMod today. This one is a simple drawing of wiring an ethernet clip, based on the T-568B standard. The only reason for using that standard is because I had some other network cables that were the same already. Everytime I need to make a cable I do a search on google for the diagram. So I decided it was about time to create a PocketMod for one.

FlatArt Shirts

I Club My Dog ShirtWARNING!
Blatant self-promotion. I have had this design on cafe press for over a year, and as far as I can tell no one has ever ordered one. To be fair, I haven’t order one either.

The Ringer T has made a fashion comeback, and ours is a popular favorite. This classic style is sure to impress even the most discerning t-shirt connoisseur with an eye for retro-coolness. Great for relaxing in comfort year-round.

Web 2.0 image

Here is “THE” list of Web 2.0 webapps. What’s nice is that someone gaggled them all together on one site. Very comprehensive, I could spend all weekend checking them out.

What makes a webapp a Web 2.0?

  • heavy use of AJAX
  • BIG TEXT
  • cute icons
  • all images have reflections
  • liberal use of star bursts
  • light background, with a bold contrast color
  • and most important… FREE!

Unloved Logos

14 Aug 2006

Hawkeye LogoOne of the worst things for a graphic designer is to see a design go unused. I was looking through some old files and came across some old logos and mockups. Some I look back and can’t believe I actually showed to a client. Here is one that the picked, but never used. Went out of business? I really don’t know. You can see the full color logo after the jump.

Favicon is not a name of a Transformer

13 Aug 2006

Fairly Useless FaviconI was looking at my Feedburner stats and it made me think about this blogs RSS feeds and how much I like having the little icon show in my menu. I totally forgot about my own favicon for the site. So I fired-up Fireworks and whipped up an image. You should see it in to the right of the url (it looks better small). If you need to create your own for your site, head on over to FavIcon from Pics converts and sizes the image for you.



New PocketMod Modules

09 Aug 2006

PocketMod PhotoPocketMod is a small handheld booklet that you print out and fold. A very handy disposable organizer. It is a flash program that allows you to print mini pages on a piece of paper, so that you can refer to it later. You can make of book of Sudoku to keep you busy in line at the DMV, or a weekly calendar for appointments.

Here is list of some PocketMod Modules that I have made.

  • Fraction To Decimal
  • Resistor Chart
  • RJ-45 Wiring
  • Diabetic Diary
  • Word Jumble

The forums are down so there is not a good way to distribute these. I had fun making them. Just download the offline player and copy the downloads into the folder. I hope someone can make use of these.
