"If there is a commonly reoccurring need for a particular solution, there is a great probability that someone has - by now - solved that need and has finished the legwork involved in researching and constructing something that resolves it." - Lasse Johnsen via Bookmarklet

"The 3-click-rule is the Freddy Kreuger of web design advice. You think it’s finally dead and then it comes back and starts slashing up sensible debate about usable design. I’m hoping to convince you to stop talking about the 3-click rule. I don’t mean substituting it with the 4-click rule or the 5-click rule. You should stop counting clicks as a measure of usability altogether." - AJ Batac via Bookmarklet

Reinventing the Color Picker « Usability Post - http://www.usabilitypost.com/2009...
"ColoRotate is an interesting new site that picks a novel approach to the traditional color picker design. Instead of 2D circles or sliders, ColoRotate features a 3D cone. At the core of the cone is the spectrum of colors. Intersecting that is the tint which lies on the z-axis. You can manipulate each one separately to help you arrive at your color. You can also blend two colors together." - imabonehead via Bookmarklet

Does anyone know of a jQuery-based, Growl-style notification plugin (like jGrowl http://www.stanlemon.net/project... ) but with the ability to add HTML (links, images, etc.) inside the notification, instead of just text?

never mind - i found out you can just drop an entire block of inline HTML into the function call and it will render out as expected. huzzah! - Nathan Chase

"The two giants pride themselves for producing cutting edge consumer and business products, and are leading the developments in software and hardware. But what about their websites? How do they both compare, and more important, which one is better and more usable? Well, in this article we’ll take a look at both websites for closer examination from a usability point of view." - AJ Batac via Bookmarklet
