  You may have seen “View of the World” art depicting a large city like Chicago, New York, Washington, DC and other cities by Saul Steinberg. A View of the World from 9th Avenue is perhaps Steinberg’s most famous work from the series. I have Washington, DC and New York. Paul sent me this online communities version [...]

• Four Reasons I Blog after Seven Years

  May 17th, 2007 |

  I’m a one person business who has been blogging since June 1, 2000. At first, it was on a personal basis since blogging hadn’t found a way into business yet and I had just started freelancing on the side. The blog slowly evolved into a business-focused one.

• Listing Partners on Web Sites

  May 16th, 2007 |

  I’ve noticed a growing trend of businesses listing their partners on their Web site. A great idea, but are they doing it right? Think about the sites that list their partners. How do they do it? Just list the logo, name and link to the site? Or do they take the time to share a [...]

• Name for Entrepreneur “Diner Dash” Games

  May 15th, 2007 |

  While working on my review of The Apprentice: Los Angeles, I couldn’t figure out how to describe the game’s genre. Many sites refer to this particular genre as Action or Arcade. I think Action is too broad and Arcade is wrong. I see Arcade games like Galaga, Asteroids Pac-Man (is my age showing?), Donkey Kong, [...]

• Captioned Videos

  May 11th, 2007 | Tags: captioning, closed-captioning, videos

  Can’t believe I didn’t know about these sites earlier! I had heard about Will Ferrell’s hilarious landlord video that stars his 3-year-old daughter as a mean and drunk landlord. But I never pay attention to videos since I know most don’t come with captions… until today. So if you know of a video that’s worth [...]

• The FAQ on FAQ

  May 10th, 2007 | Tags: web design, Writing

  Jonathan and Lisa Price have a nice article on writing FAQ and covered many points that we may not think about. For instance, if you have a large site — you might want to show the FAQ or Help that’s relevant to the page users are on rather than give them the whole thing to [...]

• Blocking Instant Messaging Apps

  May 9th, 2007 |

  I spent a few hours at the hospital the other day and discovered the hospital’s network blocked every messaging application — Web-based and stand-alone application. I understand they don’t want their staff — especially medical staff that must respond quickly — chatting away. But what about those of us trying to communicate with friends and [...]
