Book review of Defensive Web Design by 37Signals

I was browsing the web and blog-hopping for Philippine Elections-related posts. And I saw a blog post at Aczafra.com, asking the question: "Will Online Election Campaign Tools Win an Election?" Reading further, the bottomline of the post was:
Flickr, Digg, Del.icio.us, Bloglines, MySpace, Wikipedia, Technorati and YouTube. That list probably accounts for a good deal of all the traffic going on as I write this but only one of them uses Adobe Flash. Is Web 2.0 Flash averse?
AJAX, Web 2.0, SOA, SEO, VOIP, Scalability, Viral Marketing, Agile Development and User Experience are just some of the contemporary buzzwords filling out new and traditional media. But what good are they anyway? I say a whole lot of goodness.

Midomi presents a new way to search stuff-- by singing it! It uses Adobe Flash to record using your microphone. Pretty interesting. Try searching-- you will hear the best rendered songs this side of American Idol.

When does a Non-Compete Agreement go to far?

CSS recently celebrated its 10th birthday (whoa, it's been that long huh?) and released a list of sites that has made an impact for CSS.

Based on some stats, the Blogosphere IS getting crowded.
Review of Peter Morville's Ambient Findability
If you watched the 2002 movie 40 Days and 40 Nights, you will know that the character Josh Hartnett plays is a web designer. Yes, a web designer in a Dot Com company. That has led me to the question, "What other major movies have characters portraying web designers?"
I bet you never saw this coming: Adobe donates the ActionScript engine to Mozilla.
What's with the heat the social bookmarking icons (aka Sociable) are getting lately? Here's why I will not remove the Sociable plug-in and encourage fellow bloggers to use it.
The Web Designer has probably been around for over ten years now. But with all the developments this year alone, what does the Web Designer have to be and do in the coming year to able to stay relevant in the I.T. industry?
I just took and passed the Adobe Certified Professional exam for the Dreamweaver 8 Developer track. It wasn't that grueling but it wasn't a walk in the park either. For those who are going to take the exam soon, here are some tips that may help you.
