Data URI Schemes

Posted by datonn on January 3rd, 2009

One of the interesting things I’ve been looking at in recent months is the creation and display of imagery within web pages using less-traditional methods. Anything that can convey visual information in ways that might result in an improved browsing or developer experience is something worth exploring further.
One really interesting concept I’ve looked at of [...]

Professional Disc Golf Association, Part 2 (.jpg/.png)

Posted by datonn on October 25th, 2008

During the past several days, the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has launched an entirely new web presence for its current and prospective members. I had blogged about their former web site back on May 14 as an interested member of the Association (member #35462), so I thought the launch of their new site might [...]

More sessions at HighEdWeb…

Posted by datonn on October 7th, 2008

I feel as though I am “sleepwalking” just a bit this morning, as a combination of a LATE night working and an early morning breakfast here at the HighEdWeb 2008 conference is making me look for caffeine…LOTS of caffeine! However, I’m really enjoying all of the networking, and I’ve attended two [...]

More Info from HighEdWeb 2008

Posted by datonn on October 6th, 2008

It’s been a busy day at HighEdWeb 2008 here at Missouri State University! I started out my morning attending a workshop called Web Accessibility: How Higher Education Is Responding to the Need (presented by Terry Thompson of the University of Washington). I thought it was a decent overview. However, most of the [...]

Smush.it

Posted by datonn on October 6th, 2008

Jonathan Steffens, one of the attendees from my G.O. session at HighEdWeb yesterday, told me about an interesting little tool during a session break that I wanted to make sure and mention in this blog. The tool is called Smush.it, and is an extension to the Firefox browser that was recently developed by Stoyan [...]

Recuerda la escena de la película “A Christmas Story“, donde Ralphie está a la espera de su decodificador herramienta para llegar en el correo y, a continuación, aprende que su primer mensaje a descifrar dice a beber más Ovaltine? Eso es algo parecido a lo que la traducción de este mensaje es como.
Don’t speak Spanish? [...]

File Savr (.jpg/.png)

Posted by datonn on September 14th, 2008

An acquaintance of mine tipped me off tonight to a web-based service that was offering up to 250 GB of remote file storage free of charge for life (well…free through 2038, but close enough). The service is called File Savr, and I thought I would give it a shot…then report back on how well it [...]

Browsershots (.png)

Posted by datonn on September 9th, 2008

One of the tools that has always been a necessary resource for web developers is the ability to illustrate what their new web designs will look like when being viewed under a wide variety of different browsers. In many instances, web developers would download and run various browsers on their local machines. However, this process [...]

Paul Tonn, R.I.P. – July 27, 2008

Posted by datonn on July 27th, 2008

I woke up this morning to the awful news that one never really wants to receive. One of my youngest cousins, Paul Tonn, was killed in a one-car accident out in Virginia early this morning. It still really hasn’t sunk in…since I usually only have the chance to see him a couple times per year [...]
