“I’m going to show you how to glitch like a pro… Wait for something to go wrong, or force something to go wrong… Now you need to capture it before it decays… This is where the artistic bit comes in. You’ll probably want to crop the image to select the region of greatest interest…”

“You’ve heard this before: Digital cameras do all the work. You just push the button and great pictures magically appear. The better the camera, the better the photos. Isn’t that right? Heck no! The truth is that you can make great photos with a simple consumer point-and-shoot camera, or take lousy shots with the most expensive Nikon. It’s not the camera that makes beautiful images; it’s the photographer. With a little knowledge and a willingness to make an adjustment here and there, you can squeeze big time photos out of the smallest digicam. To help you down the road to great image making, here are ten tips that will enable you shoot like a pro (without maxing out your credit card on all that expensive equipment).”

“Running a high-performance dynamic website is a daunting task. The short development cycles needed to stay ahead of the competition demand a web-centric scripting language that is easy to maintain and update. We’ll explore a case study of one company (Yahoo!) that is making the transition to PHP from a proprietary server-side page language written in C/C++.”

“Beginning on Monday, the Department of Agriculture’s new seal labeling food organic will appear in grocery stores, making clear to consumers for the first time what produce has been raised without conventional pesticides or fertilizers, antibiotics or growth hormones.”

“For about three quarters of a century now, the phrase ‘Neue Schweizer Grafik’ (’New Swiss Graphic Design’) has been more than a denotative combination of words — it has become a brand name. The non-German speaking rest of the world knows the same brand mainly as ‘Swiss Typography’, since a certain kind of typographic rigidity and sophistication is recognisable in the majority of graphic work that emanated from Switzerland between the 1920s and 1980s, from the ‘elementare typografie’ of such design pioneers as Jan Tschichold, Max Bill and Theo Ballmer, via the ‘Neue Grafik’ of Richard Paul Lohse and Joseph Müller-Brockmann to the teachings of Armin Hofmann’s, Emil Ruder’s and Wolfgang Weingart’s Basle School.”

“The openings of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film, THE PASSENGER and Ariel Dorfman’s DEATH AND THE MAIDEN say nearly everything there is to know about this business of visual vs. verbal storytelling. The core of each is similar: *Strong, complex male and female central characters; *Violent political intrigue and defiance of authoritarian regimes; *Literate dialogue and strong Voice; *A Suspense Plot hinging on issues of elusive truth and identity; *Highly visual Point of Attack; *One’s a classic of political film. The other’s a major example of political drama.”

“I have been reading Alertbox since 1995 and can honestly say that it kindled a desire to produce software that excites, empowers and delights people who use it. I have passed links onto dozens of people and deposited hard copies of articles on the desks of people who are too busy to waste time ’surfing the net’. But all that has stopped in the last couple of years. I have felt that Alertbox was getting boring, and puff pieces for the Nielsen Norman Group seemed to predominate. Rather than trust my gut feeling, I decided to do some analysis on the Alertbox articles, sidebars, and readers comments from 1995 until today…”

“Our readable, in-depth research reveals how the Web’s leading sites handle common usability and contingency design issues. Our research is richly-illustrated, buzzword-free, and full of practical information you can put to use today. It comes in two flavors: 37signals Briefs (free) and 37signals Reports (pay).

“We used to think it was impossible to design a web site that successfully supported both information retrieval and browsing. We now believe a site can do both — but only when designers know what their audience is interested in.”

“The purpose of the book? Teaching developers, of any sophistication and working with any kind of budget (including none), how to improve the accessibility of online media. I have come up with a new approach to the issue, which has never been documented properly in the past.”
