"A port of sfxr from C++ to AS3, using the new sound and file capabilities of Flash Player 10. Choose from 4 different osciltors - square, saw, sine and noise. Adjust the 22 parameters to find a sound effect you like. Then save it out as a .wav file, or save the parameter settings to load back in later and tweak the sound further.

"Everyone loves an original and unique t-shirt. Fashion statements aside, they do give a slight insight into your personality, your current mood and sets you apart from the crowd. This article is not a collection of the best designed t-shirts by the best designers, this is a collection of t-shirts especially for designers and developers. Those poor suffering souls that have to endure the pain and distress of the questions from everyday Joe’s (“you work with a computer, do you? Will you fix mine?”) and have to work with the many pitfalls and perils that the web offers (IE6 and Flash intros). Yes, this collection is for you!"

"As designers, we all know that a minimalist design can achieve beautiful results. Still, many designers have trouble creating one; either they have a hard time making a page with so few elements look good or the final result just doesn’t look “complete.” There are many articles on the Web about minimalism and this article aims to help you achieve a minimalist design that is beautiful but not bare. To top it off, we’ll present a small showcase of minimalist designs, so that you can analyze why some designs work and others don’t."

Spezify is a search tool presenting results from a large number of websites in different visual ways. "We take web search further, away from endless lists of blue text links and towards a more intuitive experience. We want you to get a good overview of a subject, find useful information and be inspired with Spezify. We mix all media types and make no difference between blogs, videos, microblogs and images. Everything communicates and helps building the bigger picture. We collect websites and are aiming to use as many relevant, free and open API:s as possible to generate extensive and diverse search results." Spezify was founded in Stockholm, Sweden by Felix af Ekenstam and Per Persson who have over 10 years experience within the creative digital industry. A beta was released late April 2009 and the first official version went online on the 15th of June. The developers are constantly working on Spezify, adding API:s and enhancing the search experience for upcoming versions. http://spezify.comhttp://twitter.com/spezify

Interesting mini flash movie clips for the portfolio sreenshots - but can't help but wonder why they don't just do it in javascript to make them more sharable. simple animation like that requires no flash.

"Officially Google Chrome is not a supported browser, but most (your mileage may vary) Silverlight applications run. Since the detection scripts are Ms-PL licensed, you’re welcome to change them to fit your needs. The official copy on the release site will map to the supported matrix for Silverlight for now. If you want to add support for Google Chrome, here’s what you’d do. On line 93 in Silverlight.supportedUserAgent.js, insert this line: 1: else if (ua.indexOf('Chrome') >= 0) { 2: slua.Browser = 'Chrome'; 3: } Before the Safari check is important because Chrome’s user agent reports Safari in it as well as Chrome. Then you will have Chrome detection working in your script. Again, only if you need/want it. We continue to evaluate the browser support matrix for Silverlight and before you ask – no decisions have been made just yet to change the current supported matrix."

"http://weshowthemoney.com is a visual approch to the US election donation. We have taken the data from National Institute on Money in State Politics a nonpartisan organization dedicated to the documentation and research on campaign financing at the state level. For now we have used only data about Governors elected in 2006 and the top 100 donors. Currently we show only donors who donated to more than one candidate or a single donation bigger than 100000 $."

"We talk a lot about how big brands are embracing social media as a mechanism to connect directly with customers. Still, it’s much easier to talk about integrating social media into your brand than it is to actually do it. That’s why IKEA’s recent Facebook campaign is so awesome. The Swedish furniture company opened a new store in Malmo, Sweden and rather than spread the word the old-fashioned way, they decided to go directly to the people using Facebook. This video describes the campaign in detail:"

"The grid is a commonly used component in both web and graphic design, promoting organization and alignment in the final output. Better alignment and order can, of course, lead to a more effective design, whether it is for print or the web. When used correctly, a grid can add user-friendliness to a design, allowing the user to predict where the information they need is placed. In order to receive the benefits of the grid, though, a correct use of the grid must be in place. Both inexperienced and experienced designers may not know how to correctly and effectively use a grid system. In this article, we’ll discuss various grid frameworks, examples of grid-based graphics and web design, and the advantages and disadvantages of using the style of design for your next project."

i wanted to use magazeen on my blog, but my titles are too long... then i realized that i don't want classic magazine theme... simply because the site doesn't breathe... visually not flowing... don't like crowd thingz on blogs...

@deborah.hustic Design your own! :) But I am in agreement with you that many of these designs are overly complex for my taste as well. I prefer clean, minimalist designs that work. Nice blog minimalist layouts that I like: http://informationarchitects.jp/the-web... (see also blog post which is one of my fave at all times) :)
