Idea for a useful webapp: A tool for doing web page mockups that's better than Photoshop because things actually look right (because it's rendered by the browser). It doesn't need to generate good html, so absolute positioning, etc is ok.

Totally brilliant idea. I write my own bad html mockups in a text editor or whatever IDE I'm playing with at the time, but a tool to ease this process would mean I could get on to abandoning the half-finished project much sooner than usual. :-) - Slappy Line

Um, isn't that what Balsamiq does?? - Cyndy

Please god no, don't create another "doesn't need to generate good html" code generator. srsly - Jason Wehmhoener

Well, as for the mockups, there is really great Firefox extension called Pencil. You should try it. - Mladen Srdić

using Cappuccino, an open source framework that makes it easy to build desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser? - huixing

Paul, have you checked out Axure http://www.axure.com/? I've typically used Visio or resorted to whiteboards/paper as they are easier to edit. - Jauder Ho

Jason, I would be fine with it not generating html at all. As for Balsamiq and some of the others, the idea is actually that it would look more like the final product instead of less. Photoshop gets fonts wrong and stuff because it isn't a web browser, and yet people still keep using it, so it seems that it must have some advantage over the other tools. - Paul Buchheit

Photoshop has two major advantages, multiple uses and precision. Photoshop can be used for more than just web mockups. One person can achieve multiple goals with Photoshop while a mockup tool just makes mockups. The second advantage is the mockups look great in presentations because the author has complete control. Photoshop mockups aren't real they're hyper-real. - Kevin D. White

Are mockups that look exactly like the finished product even desirable? I'm reminded of the "Napkin Look & Feel" (http://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net/#Overvi...) - Laurence Gonsalves

Depends whether your goal is to sketch and idea or create a final design. For the latter, you really do want it to be pixel perfect. For the former, you want a "wireframe" or whatever the cool kids call it these days. - ⓞnor

What ⓞnor said. For "wireframes" a whiteboard is fine, but eventually you want pixel-perfect designs. - Paul Buchheit

Paul, you should check out Denim, http://dub.washington.edu:2007/denim... - imabonehead

Paul have you tried Fireworks, that's what our designers use. - Michael

http://www.balsamiq.com I got this link from Cooper U boards a while back, and a lot of my co-workers have found it very useful. While it's not pixel perfect, it allows for really quick mock ups with the idea that the design of the end product will be done by actual designers. - Sam Ee

http://www.balsamiq.com/product... That's a better link. The demo video sold me on the idea. - Sam Ee

Second attempt: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Paul Buchheit

I've been looking for something like this for years. Balsamiq is definitely a good start, but I feel like there's not quite enough depth yet. Has anyone had luck with stencils like the ones found at http://graffletopia.com/ (for Omni Graffle)? - Sutee Dee

pixel perfect? The web isn't print. Complete control over the rendering environment is an illusion. Don't submit to it! - Andy Bakun

Paul, have you checked out Axure RP? - Jauder Ho

http://gomockingbird.com/ - Neil

Vi is pretty good. You just write some text and point a browser at it. - Cliff Gerrish

Try wireframing and prototyping apps - I am not sure if output is rendered at browser level though. Protoshare.com, jumpchart.com, productplanner.com - TrafficBug

Done, already - Ozkan Altuner

Point blank. You are a moron if you ride without a helmet. Sorry, but that's true and you're just going to play into Darwinian theory should you continue to ride without one.

I would rather everyone be anonymous than no one. - jeneane sessum

Gerard: as I said in the other thread this would be impossible to enforce so I wouldn't worry about it too much. - Robert Scoble

I commented on your blog: I think anonymity is both a horrible thing and a great tool, it depends on how it's used. In some countries complete anonymity is needed, otherwise they would be put to death or jail. I find its far more respectable when someone puts a real name and face to their opinion, though it isnt always needed. - Colby Olson

Robert: I just think it's interesting that you want to abolish anonymity, that in itself is an odd thing to say, I suppose. Perhaps you could explain your reasoning? - Colby Olson

Robert I think we all realize it would not be enforceable but what I'm going after is the idea behind it - that *were it enforceable*, it would be a good thing. To me, the underlying idea that anonymous speech is a bad thing and should be eliminated is rather authoritarian and terrifying. - Anthony Citrano

Colby: everything that I have seen negative on the Internet is due to anonymity. Can you link to one positive thing? Mini Microsoft but even that would be much better if the guy who wrote it would sign his name. - Robert Scoble

Anthony: well, I don't see it as a good thing. I have freedom of speech already and would die to defend that. Anonymity is for cowards. - Robert Scoble

Robert, speaking out on the internet against oppressive governments is not a bad thing. And as I have stated previously, many revolutions start in anonymity. Again, rules of absolutism don't allow for both sides. Anonymity is a tool and it can be used for good and bad. - Tim Finucane

Kind of a night of drastic comments from the Scobleizer, huh?? Everything negative on the internet is due to anonymity. Yikes thats a whole new round of overstatement. I love following you Robert and agree way more often than not but that's silly. - Cody Heitschmidt

tim: what revolution started with anonymity? Certainly NOT the American one. - Robert Scoble

It most definitely did start with secret meetings. The crown didn't know identities until after things got under way. - Tim Finucane

Robert: You just spawned numerous blog posts and threads with that one. I agree with you up to a point. One of the two that I have blocked on FF was determined to be a troll and supposedly anon. However, there are many countries that speaking up and signing on the dotted line will get both your head and hand chopped off. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Cody is right. I did overstate that and I am sorry about that. - Robert Scoble

Robert... i would follow you into the fire.. and here is why we all follow you: Your are passionate. Sometimes it gets in your way because you overstate things but then you admit you are wrong. A guy with 30,000 followers could be big headed enough not to admit something he said wasn't quite right. It's cool that a little guy in Ks can make a contrary statement at you and not just get blocked and you roll over him. Now admit you were wrong on the rule against anonymity too. lol just kidding. - Cody Heitschmidt

The Internet is and should be about choice. You should be able to choose your level of anonymity. It is not one shoe fits all. - Jauder Ho

Robert -- There is legitimate reason for anon speech, especially on the internet. What I think you really want is a "Personal Global Internet Filter" that allows the removal of the ugliest side-effects. Even looking to the American revolution, pen names and aliases were used countless times by the likes of Thomas Jefferson, et al. There is a legitimate purpose to it... the statement that no revolution was started by anonymous is a bit of a stretch. - Mark Philpot

There are a ton of reasons for a person to use a pseudonym on the internet. Especially when you look at people in other countries who can only speak by being "nameless". I even have reasons for using a name that isn't my real name. - Candace

Don't admit you were wrong on the rule unless you believe it... until you believe ! hehe lol Great freaking discussion who started this whole mess with the rule comment? - Cody Heitschmidt

I believe it was started by Robert's response to Laura Fitton's question: "What one "rule" would you make about the Internet?" - Tim Finucane

i'm sorry he's wrong or right depending i've been batting this question lately and i use the internet not to shield who i am but to get people to talk to me who wouldn't do to disability. and if i ever meet any net folks in RL my hope is that they will be over it quicker due to knowing I'm capable and cool to begin with - Cecil Sandus

To all those under pseudonyms: Why? Are you truly in fear of reprisal? @Dtrizzle a link to your blog profile quickly reveals you. @Corvida do you have a reason? - Mathew A. Koeneker

@Robert Scoble (scobleizer): What's so negative about my blog? Well, other than the fact that I don't apply myself. Sorry, there've been too many firings and too many "we won't hire you" situations because of uptight control freaks in power who can't stand employees who have their own minds. Anyone who really desires it can find out who MiniMage is, but I feel the better for not broadcasting my real name, and so do my parents. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF from NoiseRiver

well said Mage - Cecil Sandus

One rule for the internet is that all data is equal. The second rule is that there are no other rules. I think Scoble's idea of not anonymity is becoming more a reality with people's lives becoming intertwined with their online identity. I would like to preserve anonymity for whistle blowers, etc. Anonymity is a tool that can be used or abused. - Erik Weese

Pseudonyms mean nothing. People do find out who you are. I spent two days in a courtroom reading my blog entries aloud that were posted under a pseudonym. If you don't want people to read what you write, buy a pen and a blank journal and stick it under your mattress. - Trish R

MiniMage many many more people have been hired for their blogs than fired for them and I can't think of an instance where someone who was fired wasn't behaving stupidly. We have a whole chapter in our book about that. - Robert Scoble

yes Dtrizzle that makes sense to me and Trish as for your idea it's an oldie but a goodie... - Cecil Sandus

corvida isn't anonymous. I have talked with her on the phone. Minimicrosoft is pretty anonymous but I know at least one person who knows who he is. - Robert Scoble

Dtrizzle - The bit on your educational background while perfect for a resume can provide an easy way to start skip-tracing you. Not that I am. Just one of the little tricks I learned where tech meets accounting. - Mathew A. Koeneker

it is amazing the conversations that can start with a simple word or two.

Past... more... - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF from NoiseRiver

Scoble I think he was referring to the fact that I don't use my real name online at all. As for the person who asked why, because I don't want people Googling me. I like to keep my personal life separate from my online life. Same person, different interactions and I don't want them overlapping in any way, shape, or form. - Corvida

@Corvida - Why keep yourself so fragmented? Then you have to remember who you with whom. I am with Robert for the most part on this one. You instantly gain more respect from me if your are proud enough of your name to attribute ALL of your actions whether in the VW or RW to it. You are an American are you not? Unless, you have a TS like my folks then who or what are you hiding from. Telling me that it is just a personal choice is a cop out. @Dtrizzle gives some valid rationale for his decision. - Mathew A. Koeneker

There are certain place on the net that you NEED anonymity !! Take a look at some Forums that ONLY focus on vulnerability disclosures. Each and every one of them is only known by a handle. Chances that you actually associate a handle w/ real name /face is near impossible. - Peter Dawson

I could argue the same. Most in my situation do take that approach. My disease is just that a disease. It is what it is. Like I commented earlier there can be valid reasons; I just wanted to hear Corvida's rationale both from a personal interest as she is just another human being as well as from the pov of the well known blogger. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Interesting convo. I actually talked to Mark Hopkins about this. He brought his anon handle into his identity. I've kept mine apart. I don't agree with no one being anonymous; I happily existed online for years and can still write about personal issues and my children without compromising their (or my) privacy. - Cyndy

I vote for anonymity. If you are anonymous and threatening though, realize that I also support using every tracking method possible to make a community safer. People can not yell "FIRE" in a crowded room. I can not call my neighbor a "RAPIST" just because I feel like it. Regulated Free Speech is ok. Unregulated free speech is not, just as I can not go around town physically hitting anyone I want to ("Freedom of Action"). - Mitchell Tsai

The vast majority of my college friends (Harvard 1982-89, age 40-50) are still petrified of Facebook due to Corvida's concerns - and I have mostly techy friends.

@Robert people tend to act differently online than they do in real-life, anonymous or not. They perceive a disconnect between their online profile and life. Makes people be more direct, confrontational, and sometimes hostile. They don't feel bound by the same social rules (have respect for each other). - Alexander van Elsas

I can fully understand that some wish to be anonymous on the web. But thinking that the things you do online are disconnected from your offline life is stupid. I am not anonymous online and I am aware that my interactions are always visible. - Alexander van Elsas

This is a long thread and I may have missed it in a later response, but what about people finding you in person through the internet? I play WoW and my guild leader was stalked by someone who knew only her first name, state, and profession. He called her and flew to her area to find her. This is just a simple case of a nut job, but the internet is full of them. When you bring other countries, with less freedom into the mix things just get messier. - Heather

The thing is, he never defined his terms either. Is creating a bogus account and logging in through a proxy for a one-time flame the same as using a long-term pseudonym for mostly constructive purposes? I think not.

You may think that you are "anon" but in reality you are not at all. Plus, I have a lot less respect for folks esp in this country that are unwillling to put their real names in their posts. - Mathew A. Koeneker

For many years, I used a Kinesis. http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/contour... They are actually really great keyboards and I recommend them highly, since they put your hands in a natural rest position as you use it. Also, using your right thumb for space and your left thumb for backspace (you can reverse them, along with re-assigning all the other keys) is just cool. - Phil G

I've used the Key Ovation Goldtouch before and they are good adjustable keyboards. Still a bit pricey, but not as bad as Kinesis. - Alex Scoble

http://www.keyovation.com/ - Alex Scoble

Agreed, the price is steep. But they are fully programmable for macros and I believe have been certified by kinesiologists (sp) to reduce RSI, so if it is for work, that would be a good justification for needing it. Just like that big 6-way adjustable chair. - Phil G

One big difference between the Goldtouch and the Kinesis is that the Goldtouch is adjustable, in width between halves and angle - Alex Scoble

It was the recommended choice by our ergo consultant when I worked at a law firm - Alex Scoble

Thanks Alex. Looks like there isn't an inexpensive way to scratch this itch. - Mark Trapp

No. Your entry level Microsoft "Ergo" keyboard probably won't cut it if you have serious issues. - Alex Scoble

None of the good ergo products are cheap. Good thing you didn't ask about good adjustable keyboard trays. - Alex Scoble

Ugh, I've dealt with those, and ergonomic desks. Highway robbery! - Mark Trapp

Yeah, but a good keyboard tray is worth it. For me a good keyboard tray is the difference between being in pain and not. So I have the same tray at home and at work. A good keyboard won't do anything for you if it's not in the right position. - Alex Scoble

Vegas is getting really slammed. The tourist business there is off by far more than 22%. The airport on Saturday was totally empty. It's the first time I've ever seen that at Vegas. - Robert Scoble

CES is a fixture. Have a feeling smaller, subject specific (and overly expensive) shows will feel it even more over the next few months. Many companies will simply note the reports on the Internet but face-to-face will return. The industry also needs to realize that there's too many BIG shows and not enough small regional gatherings .... Just my opinion. On the other hand, tech should be one of the first to rebound because most companies large and small are dealing with legacy hardware and lots of it. - Charlie Anzman

I think we are going to see a lot of it. Shoot... I got the early bird email from The Server Side Symposium today saying they will HOLD early bird pricing for people stil trying to squeeze out their travel budgets. - Cyndy

I think CES and Apple need each other. You would have to assume CES could make up that 22% and more if Apple was in the show in 2010. - Jared B. Luther

This is sad. My gut reaction is that anyone that has it in them to actually commit suicide already had some seriously deep demons that just need an excuse to be brought to surface. Money seems like the weakest excuse of all to me. The people that also take their families with them are disgusting selfish cowards. - Paul Reynolds

people used to throw themselves out of windows during the great depression... - Hayk H.

very, very troubling!! how sad!! Robert you are a very incredible man...wow! - Susan Beebe

Hopefully I will never understand what goes on in the mind of a person about to take their own life. However, I especially don't understand taking your family with you. - Clare Dibble

Paul, having dealt with depression as well as financial problems, it's just not that easy. With the current bankruptcy laws, there really doesn't seem to be much of a way out for a LOT of people. I had one friend file for bankruptcy... he still has to pay back every DIME and they tacked on a few thousand dollars as a penalty as well. How does that help anyone? Not to mention how persistent and belligerent collections people are. People feel cornered. - Cyndy

sad indeed but in extreme cases somehow understandable. - Joe Buhler

I've had some very dark times in my life. Finances were never the catalyst though so I can't say I can relate. I've been poor but lack of money has never led to depression. Most depression in my family is existential. It all revolves around the question, "What difference does any of this make? We all end up dead in the long run anyway." - Steve Olson

@Steve Olson - "We all end up dead in the long run anyway." - If things go my way, sometime in the next 20 to 30 years I plan to have billions of nano-machines running around on my body, swimming through my blood stream.... fixing, and enhancing EVERYTHING.

And up here in NorCal, we're floating somewhere in the mid-to-high 60's for most of the week, dipping down into the 50's when the rain rolls in. We take it in the ass a lot so SoCal can have a continuous water supply. :P - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

That's insane! - cecily

Richard: It's always fire season when the Santa Anas blow. they just haven't been blowing hard enough to knock down power lines, but it's certainly dry and hot enough for fire. Sigh. - Karoli

50 sounds good right about now - Shey, Jamaican of FF

@Richard: Heh, the water wars never really stopped, they just moved to the background once the end user got what they needed. We still have the great issue of the San Joaquin Valley and SoCal drawing far more from the Colorado River than we're allotted, and the federal gov't is finally going to bring down the hammer on us, forcing farmers and LA denizens to have to make smarter choices... more... - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Ugh, Karoli, I hope the winds die down soon! - Richard ¿digame? Walker

That's Fahrenheit, right? 50ºC is Hell, but 10ºC (=50F) is cold for us. That's our winter time, in cold days btw, in São Paulo. Poor people, 90F is worst than here, but it isn't Rio de Janeiro summer temperature. It was 100F in Rio 2 days ago. I can't understand how they can live with those temperatures. - Bibi

@Richard: I hear that! You couldn't pay me enough to do his or any water management job of that nature. I had a professor try to persuade me to go into water management because he thought I had a passion for it. I told him I'd rather be unemployed. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

@Bibi, we survive the heat the same way people survive sub-zero temperatures, stay inside when it's that nasty outside. Only our "nasty weather" has the benefit of sunshine which means no depression or lack of vitamin d from gray skies for a couple of months. :) - Christian (Simply X)

Forecast is for 72 degrees in Phoenix today. Windows are open and I am enjoying. Then again, our summer can get a bit brutal, but nothing like a wind chill of -25 (I am thinking of the little boy in "Christmas Story" who was so bundled up that he could not move and realize that would most likely be me.) :D - Robert Miller

I don't mind summer...in the SUMMER time. It's JANUARY. I don't necessarily need to be snowed in here in LA, but 90? That's some bull-ish. - Derrick

I actually have never seen this woman before, but I have heard of her. It seems to me that she is just being controversial for monetary gain and barely believes most of what she's saying. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

I hate her. - Nation Hahn

Why do they allow this creature have a platform on which to speak? - Cyndy

i love the way she just chides and grates on the psyche of the hypocritical!! - tony

I think Ann Coulter is a vile, mean spirited person. This does not make it right for them talk over her the whole time. What was the point of having her on the show? Apparently they said a lot of stuff about her on the show the day before when she wasn't there to defend herself then they wouldn't let her get out a full sentence on the show. Intelligent people can draw their own conclusions if they would let her talk. The View is worthless. - Vaughn

If you're looking for a less-spirited, more civil dressing-down of Her Archness, there's always that interview she gave to CBC: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Steven Perez

For the record: regardless of how the women on THE VIEW handle their business, the only person who made Ann Coulter walk into the firing line was Ann Coulter. And, after watching her act for the last four years, she deserves every bit of scorn and ridicule that can be heaped on her. They were too rough on her? Boo. Freaking. Hoo. - Steven Perez

What, rizzn? You can be a conservative and despise Coulter? KIDDING! :) - Richard ¿digame? Walker

3 1/2 minute segment, and no one said ANYTHING. Just "she said, she said." I like that Coulter had the guts to be there with five unabashedly liberal hosts, but think she should not have shown her frustration so openly. - Kevin L

@richard: Ha! I wouldn't say I despise Coulter. I just preferred it when I hadn't read as much of her stuff as I now have. I liked imagining that she was more correct than she generally is. At some point I read a number of things by her that just shattered that illusion. Now I sort of regard her as one regards a stereo-typical teenager - half-educated and 150% certain she's right about everything. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Mark.. it certainly does seem to be a sign of the times. BAD BEHAVIOR when "done right" gets you BOOK DEALS and TV APPEARANCES.
