There’s more going on than just computers and noise. I’ve been told.

Book review: “jQuery: Novice to Ninja”

I just finished reading “jQuery: Novice to Ninja” by Earle Castledine & Craig Sharkie, and I have to say – it was as delightful as it was disturbing: without a doubt it is this year’s must-read sleeper hit. The authors excel in propelling the reader on an epic personal journey that immerses them in the [...]

JavaScript game: Corporate BFFs

Holy b-jezus! I found a whole treasure-chest of stuff I did in pre-2006 then let rot in the dank dungeons of my G: drive. Today’s resurrection: Corporate Best Friends Forever: a “memory” type game with a twist. All the cards are face up – you simply have to match the pairs. The twist? There are [...]

Turntubelist: Web master cuts faster!

Well well well! You all thought that we was messing with you, didn’t you? You thought that the WebJam 8 win was nothing more than an elaborate hoax designed to bag some awesome prizes, didn’t you? No, friends, it wasn’t (though I’m totally going to do that for the next WebJam) for now the time [...]
