The box-shadow property allows designers to easily implement multiple drop shadows (outer or inner) on box elements, specifying values for color, size, blur and offset.

You can also layer multiple shadows!

…and that was how the human race was destroyed by emoticons.  Any questions?

Paper Prototyping

Depending on the language you write in, prototyping be flat out cumbersome.  It is common for most of us to develop the shell of a system to help a decision maker see their ideas take shape.   This can be frustrating when they are still determining if they wanted to move forward on a particular design.  One solution to that is Paper Prototyping.

Paper Protyping is the process of writing the user interface out on paper as a means of organizing ideas.  The only tools required are pencil and paper.

The best part about Paper Prototyping is that it is:

• Quick to create
• Low cost
• Great for brainstorming
• Something anyone can do

With the CSS3 3D transformations we can create some neat effects by transforming elements in three-dimensional space. Slicebox makes use of the 3D transforms properties and allows different kind of effects. The main idea is to create three-dimensional image slices that will rotate and reveal the next image as another side of the 3d object. In case the browser does not support 3D transformations, a simple slider will be used as fallback.

Hug a programmer! Or maybe not… They don’t all like that.

"You eventually learn that true priorities are like arms; if you think you have more than a couple, you’re either lying or crazy."

Working in teams helps mitigate risk.  Why mitigate risk?  Because life happens during projects projects. Kids get sick, cats die, cars break down.  If more than one person is working on the task, it lets the project continue.  It also ensures that at least two people are intimately involved and can answer questions.

This is a great little video on how they work in teams to reduce risk from Atomic Object.

Priorities are funny things, aren’t they?  Trying to put things in order by how “important” they are can end up being far too subjective.

Try asking for the date or time something needs to be completed instead.  Simple, clear, and to the point.
