Toms of Maine Packaging – Sacrificed

Disclaimer: This work isn’t by any way commissioned or requested by the company, we just find logos we think need work and fix them. It’s just our sacrifice to the design gods. Please accept it: Design Improvements I love this toothpaste but hate the packaging. This redesign reduces printing costs; three (or even two) color […]

Know Me App Logo – Sacrificed

As if we don’t have better things to do, we’re now re-designing logos in our free time. This work isn’t by any way commissioned or requested by the company, we just find logos we think need work and fix them. It’s our sacrifice to the design gods. The Know Me app is a good example […]

SASS mixin for responsive SVGs

After listening to Sara Soueida on Shop Talk Show we finally have a reliable way to use SVGs in responsive sites, our old method was to yell at the SVG and change every possible value within the SVG and in CSS until it looked right in most browsers. She goes into a ton of detail […]

importance of punctuation

Here’s a great quote by Hemingway that sums up why it’s important to structure code in a standard way that others can understand: My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would loose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on […]

Brooklyn Roofdeck Design

adding a character entity into an object in jquery

The future of education?

Just read that John Resig, the creator of jQuery, quit Mozilla to work for a company we’d never heard of called Kahn Academy. Can the internet change the way we educate children? Well duh of course it can – with Resig and Kahn working together looks like Kahn Academy might have it all figured out already.

No need to understand how everything works

Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it’s greater than this other number”—but execute that at a rate of, let’s say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.

FIX: pixelated images on iphone

This one was driving us nuts for a while. We had two images that were identical in size and resolution, yet one looked pixelated (aliased) on the iPhone while the other was sharp. Looking through the code didn’t help, everything was identical. The fix was surprising.

WordPress for iOS

Messing around with WordPress for iOS, overall I like it, I accidentally deleted a post by trying to cancel out of uploading an image somehow, so it’s not perfect yet, but has a lot of promise. One awesome feature that it includes is geo tagging your posts. A slew of cool applications for this come […]
