« Older Entries |DeviantArt Muro, an impressive HTML5 application
Sunday, August 8th, 2010
DeviantArt just released Muro, a drawing application completely HTML5 powered. Not only that, but it perfectly works on the iPad as well, making it a great alternative to the native drawing applications present in the store. To use Muro you need a DeviantArt account, and it’s totally free for both the basic and pro modes, basic for beginning artists and pro for more experienced users. It supports advanced features such as layers, filters, multiple brushes and keyboard shortcuts. This is a great example on how powerful HTML5 could be and a perfect response to all those people who believed that HTML5 wasn’t good enough to compete with Flash in more complex applications.

Taste of Ink samples review
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
After being really disappointed with the latest jobs by Overnight Prints, I decided to look around for another printer. Yesterday I received the samples I ordered from Taste of Ink, a Scottsdale, AZ based print shop. I was really impressed by the presentation of the sample they provided, so I decided to make a little video about it.

How to modify the Facebook Share button
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
The first thing I thought when I found out about the new Facebook Share button was: “Cool! I’m going to add it to my blog right away.”
The first thing I thought after I installed it was: “Why couldn’t they make the button height 15px like most of the other sharing buttons around???”
Yes, I was pretty annoyed by having buttons at the top of my blog posts with different heights, so I decided to try to modify the css of the button myself. Here’s the result:
.FBConnectButton {
height: 15px;
float: left;
background-position-y: -251px;
background-position-x: -1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #1a356e;
}
.FBConnectButton_Text {
font-size: 8px ;
height: 9px;
}
.fb_share_count_inner {
height: 9px;
position: relative;
}
.fb_share_count .fb_share_count_right {
float: left;
}
Just copy and paste these few lines of code into your CSS file and your Facebook Share button should be the same size of your compact Tweetmeme button.
I may do more modifications in the future to improve the look of this reduced version, but for now this is usable enough for my blog.
