Screen-filling Visual Goodness

For a while now I've been looking to employ a nifty little trick in web design: the use of browser-filling imagery to impress. I'm talking about screen-filling visual goodness taking over your browser window. Why would anyone do such a thing?

The more we share photos and watch TV and movies online, the more we get used to having immersive visual experiences on the web. Users are coming to expect not just information but an experience from the websites they visit.

Path: Something Different and Good

I generally don't assess new social media tools using traditional, scientific methods. Basically if I can't put it down, it's good. I downloaded the social media app Path last night which combines the best of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook into a really smart-looking, minimal program.

Scott’s New Year’s Wish for You: Alter Egos

There’s nothing like reconnecting with someone after decades and having them think you’ve undergone massive physical change, or at least traveled back in time to acquire a stunningly thick mustache.

Hot Town Summer in the City

Here at the Duck we've been experiencing the heat wave in a way completely unique to our New York location. We are a very tiny part of a very large power grid which, like the shaved ice guy, gets very sluggish during the heat. Or doesn't show up to work at all. We've been fortunate enough to keep our power and our air conditioning while others haven't been so lucky.

We did receive a handful of very spooky emails from ConEd which used words and phrases like "fires" and "true crisis mode".

Scott's gift for 2010: As we look toward the future

While looking to the future, it can be useful to re-visit the past.
