International Poster Gallery

“International Poster Gallery is located on Newbury Street in Back Bay, Boston’s most fashionable shopping district. Our philosophy is reflected in our name: we believe great posters come from every corner of the globe. Unlike mostÊ galleries, which are dominated by French posters, International Poster Gallery features a diverse selection from around the world, especially Italy, Switzerland, the Soviet Union, France, the U.S. and Holland.”

Dlog

“This is a ‘dlog,’ as it is a design log rather than a web log. Weblog = ‘blog,’ design log = ‘dlog.’ The primary subjects here are personal pages and things of that nature: journals, web logs, and vanity pages. Other things may pop up from time to time, depending on where my curiousity lies at the moment.”

Introduction to XML Design patterns

“Design Patterns are idioms that recur frequently, and that can be represented explicitly in some way that will be easily understood both by people and software. When many people face a similar problem or situation repeatedly, a common solution can often be found. A Design Pattern represents such common solutions… Each pattern is written up in a similar way, with a Synopsis, a list of actors that participate in the pattern, a section describing the XML Markup used to represent the pattern, notes on Processing information marked up in this way, and any Variations on the pattern. We also include cross references to other related patterns.”
