Circles and Momentum

from Jim Nielsen’s Blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I had not come across this graphic from swyx until recently: I like this reminder. I know for me, it’s often too easy to slip into a kind of cynicism that only sees endless stationary circles rather than ones with directional momentum. It reminds me of the visualizations of...

Prevent white noise from appearing in images after fading

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
The first time I ever saw this alleged bug was in Internet Explorer 7 yesterday. Images were rotating on a page in the form of a slideshow, fading in and out for a nice, smooth transition. One problem, though: in Internet Explorer 7 (and 6, as it turned out), one of the images...

Back in 2012, I wrote an article called Down with the "Share" Widget. In it, I talked about why plastering social sharing buttons all over your website is completely ineffective. This morning, Smashing Magazine all but confirmed my theory. In today's Smashing Newsletter, they...

Choose Boring Technology Culture

Honeycomb recently announced our $50M Series D funding round. We aren’t the type to hype this a lot; Emily summed it up crisply as, “Living another day on someone else’s money isn’t business success, even though it is a lovely vote of confidence.” Agreed. The vote of confidence...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
