Eight Long Days. Wow.
If the iPhone isn’t the most highly anticipated personal electronic device ever, I’m not sure what is/was.
Had a long conversation with a friend in New York state last night about the iPhone. He’s planning on waiting in line and picking one up on launch day. He told me he’d been obsessing about it lately, and even dreaming about it.

Apple patches 3 security holes in Safari/Win and John Gruber says, “that was quick.” Ya think? There are supposedly hundreds of Apple engineers at WWDC. What, are they working ‘round the clock in their hotel rooms?
Until Coda’s release, my workflow was relatively set and regimented. I used a simple combination of tools that consisted of:
While Coda’s simplified approach to web development make it the perfect candidate to take the place of many of these individual programs – it promises one-window web development – it’s not quite there. I’ve found it actually complicates my workflow. And, unfortunately, the release of CSSEdit 2.5 and it’s powerful override and X-ray features make matters even worse for me.
To give you an idea, here’s an example of my current toolset:
As you can plainly see, Coda has made my life so much easier. Not.
Even still, the key factor in my continuing to use Coda is the company its developed by (as well as its infancy). I’ve been a Panic user since the release of Audion, and they’ve earned my loyalty. It’s Panic’s software development philosophy that makes them so special. Their ideas aren’t original – or, perhaps “aren’t fundamentally innovative” is a better way to put it – but the way they implement those ideas is.
So, there you have it. I’m admitting to my masochistic software use once again. Aren’t these computers supposed to make our lives easier?
Elevator Trek: The Next Generation. The building Khoi works in (uh, The New York Times building) redesigned their elevator system and didn’t consult with him about the UX:
[…] it’s not advisable to try to reinvent universally understood user experiences like elevators without excellent, excellent design help.
Oops.
There’s hope, though, because the problems that arose aren’t unfixable, and – as Khoi says – sometimes you have to “break it before you can improve it.”
Dave Shea on Safari for Windows: A Subpixel Safari
But what really caught my eye though is the trouble to which Apple has gone in order to mimic the OS X Safari experience on Windows […] There’s an ironic point to be made here about how much complaining is directed at applications that don’t make an effort to be Mac native when run on OS X
That’s because Mac apps are beautiful and Windows apps are not.~

Interesting that not more people noticed the Flickr JavaScript badge hiccup that happened recently. Oh well, it’s fixed now.
CNN.com Blog: Being a good web citizen. It’s refreshing to see a “corporate” news giant at least desiring to embrace the power of the web. (Which is, by the way, hyperlinks and social interaction.)
This idea was a little scary at first… after all, we should want to keep people on CNN.com, right? But by being a good web citizen, we fulfill our core mission by doing whatever it takes to help you get the full story — even if it takes you away from CNN.com
