LEGO! LEGO! LEGO!
The following was originally posted on the StruckAxiom blog on 1/14/10 by Matt Anderson.
Like any good children of the 80s, we love LEGOs. So when our friends at Pereira & O’Dell hollered at us with a couple LEGO projects (the LEGO Photo iPhone app and LEGO CL!CK site), we didn’t hesitate. Coming into the studio to work/play with LEGOs all day—physically and virtually—has been ridiculously inspiring.
Now that the results of a few (okay, more than a few) late nights are alive and kicking on the Interweb, we’re predictably giddy about the positive response. LEGO Photo is the #5 Free App in the iTunes Store as of today. Good (and incredibly smart) people from Fast Company, Mashable, KRonikle (the Kidrobot blog!), app.itize.us and WIRED have all had nice things to say about the projects.
So. Download the app. Get inspired on the site. And… please upload your LEGO-fied photos to the Flickr group we just discovered.
Please be careful. LEGOfying an already-LEGOfied image may disrupt the balance of the space-time continuum.
Resources: Cross browser testing made easy
The ongoing battle between web developers and the web browsers of the world is getting a little easier thanks to the help of Adobe BrowserLabs.
The recently updated web application let's users submit a url and return a screenshot of the page as seen by a majority of the possible browser/OS combinations. BrowserLabs is a simple tool that makes troubleshooting web problems much easier. In a matter of minutes you'll know what the unfortunate souls in your marketing department, stuck with IE 6 on their Windows 95 computers, are seeing on your website that you can't manage to re-create.
With upgrades and new features still being added, this looks like it will maintain itself as a current tool that should be a valuable part of any developers arsenal of weapons for browser combat.
