The most remarkable ideas
By ijoselito | May 9, 2008
"In a world of too many options and too little time, our obvious choice is to ignore the ordinary stuff."
In the words of the marketing guru Seth Godin there is a glare of hope for beginners and everyone starting on the design/media business.
We are all being freely trained by companies in the art of creating content. Companies like MySpace, Facebook or youtube (until Google bought it) are entirely based on User Generated Content (UGC). If we look around there are many companies beneficing from the content generated by users, wikipedia, mysql, and many others.
The point that Seth made in 2003 at his TED hosted talk was as “remarkable” then as it’s now for the people that are starting now in the business. Look for original ideas, safe is unsafe, be remarkable. Easier said than done, in order to progress in this so competitive world there are risks to take, but above everything else there is a lot of work to do!
Let’s see the video:

Accessibility and cross-browsing testing (II part)

[1st part] [2nd part]
We’ll talk more about these guidelines in the future but I would like to talk about cross browsing testing and the challenges that it presents. For a small team of developers like us cross browsing testing can be troublesome because not all the platforms/browsers are available to us. We use our own equipment for developing and testing, so not always there is an old Pentium II machine with IE4 installed for testing purposes. Luckily our team is well balance and we have users for the three main operating systems Windows XP, Mac OS X and Linux. Now with the arrival of Vista we have a new operating system to test and honestly after trying it up none of us is excited with the prospect of installing Vista in a (otherwise) productive machine. Microsoft is currently the biggest problem that web designers/developers face.
Accessibility and cross browsing testing (I part)

One of our main concerns here at None Interaction Projects is to make our websites accessible for as much people as possible. There are two important problems to be tackled in this subject, one is accessibility design and the other is cross browsing testing.
