two people are are twice as strong than one - a simple calculation. on www.change.com people can participate and collaborate to change the world. social activists can introduce their ideas and can build relationships to non profit organizations.

Now this is really weired, prisoners on the Philippines performing the Michael Jackson Thriller Video. If Michael would like to join? I hope they will perform also some other classics. I am sure that is not the last gig.

tsoosayCow has joined our team, not sure what she will be doing yet…but rumour has it she is pretty hot with Ruby and some CSS. Personally I think she will help ward of evil spirits (and hopefully raise a few smiles).

hey, thats interesting. An article by Adam Polansky at Boxes and Arrows is asking these initial questions:

-

• How can you make sense of ideas from multiple sources–formal requirements, brainstorm sessions, contextual inquiry, and input from the boss’s wife?
• How do you entertain all ideas and still weed out the good stuff from the garbage without hurting someone’s feelings–especially when that someone signs your check?
• How do you factor in real constraints and capabilities before these ideas become etched in stone?
• How do you take in the different points of view that come from a programmers or business owners, not to mention the actual users of your product?
• How do you do all these things and define project scope with some level of integrity that’s more than intuition or politics?

-

The given answer is called Faceted Feature Analysis.

I am not shure whether we should give this a try, but I quite sympathize with the idea.
It’s been bookmarked, for shure!

Thanks, Henrik Olsen @ GUUUI!

if you need an easy javascript livesearch you can use my little javascript class…
It´s nice to use and fast enough for up to 1000 html elements on page…

this is a release with no support… - use this code on your own risk…
but please give us informations on improvements…. or any developments….

DEMO

———————–

first you need css :

.hide {display:none;}

———————–

the livesearch input field looks like this :

<input type="text" onKeyup="Zuse.Filter.filterChilds('.liveSearch',this.value);" />


———————

add to your textobjects a class “liveSearch” - in the moment 2 parents higher as the textobject is hidden…

so this html structure will work


<div class="image">
<div class="headline">
<a href="#" class="liveSearch">test me</a>
</div>
</div>


so div class=”image” will be hidden…

—————-

javascript class :

if(!Zuse) var Zuse = {};
Zuse.Filter = {
filterChilds : function (eId,filter) {
var theArray = new Array();
$$(eId).each(function(s) {
pNode = s.parentNode.parentNode; //parentNode is hidden
Element.addClassName(pNode, 'hide');
if (filter=='' | s.innerHTML.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter.toUpperCase())>-1) {
if (theArray.indexOf(pNode)==-1) theArray.push(pNode);
}
});
theArray.each(function(s) {
Element.removeClassName(s, 'hide');
});
}
};


most little boys want to become a drummer sometimes.
some become a bass player later.
some others might like the idea to get one of these…

I am not sure if I like this or not, as an ex-punk it again shows me how the movement has been repackaged yet again to get the youth to think like a rebel but spend money too. This little anarchist bear sells for 230 Euros…

The original Sex Pistols graphic designer Jamie Reid was always part of the ‘cash from chaos’ crowd, not sure how much he gets on royalties for this one.

6.48pm on July 6 1957, at a parish church fete in Liverpool .. John Lennon’s childhood pal Ivan Vaughan brought along a schoolmate to meet him .. that friend was Paul McCartney.
from: TheBeatleSource (great photos there!)

…so it‘s a commemoration day today!
No matter whether you like them or not. No matter how big their impact on history really was. 50 years ago the story of the Beatles began.
.
What I find remarkable is the fact that their recordings can be found on every possible medium you can imagine. And guess which of them may survive longer than vinyl, compact discs, flash memory or anything you would imagine today…

While the telecommunication players fight for new clients like a mother for her own child, other companies spread out in the market. A main candidate is probably Google. Combing the Google’ s search services and contents (youtube etc.) with high end mobile services sounds like a cool product. But I’am not sure if I would like that. I start to get fear from Google … when do they start to bye a state?

There is also a blog which writes about how it is working at Google.
