About 10 weeks ago If it is a good design that works, then everyone is going to do it. Eventually everything will end up in the same place. That is just how design goes. It is a general movement.

So congrats on the Facebook team who designed this, they did an awesome job removing the clutter! And congrats to the Google+, Twitter, Tumblr, etc design teams who influenced them. At the end of the day, everyone wins.

About 11 weeks ago So happy with the team I mentored at NYU Abu Dhabi Hackathon this weekend. This event was to bring mentors from leading organizations (like Google, IBM, etc) and students from every continent of the world, to come together in one room to build something that would benefit that region in a social way.

We built The Karma Project. Think about it as a Kickstarter.com meets Meetup.com mashup. Where users can not just only fund a project with money, but their time as well.

My team consisted of two ladies and two men, they didn't know Node.JS, Backbone.JS, Passport.JS, JavaScript, or Twitter Bootstrap, but that didn't stop their passion in learning these new technologies. It was a challenge mentoring students with a totally new stack, but they did an extraordinary job delivering! 

As usual, the source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/mohamedmansour/karma_project

You can view the extremely pre alpha demo here http://karmaproject.hack-day.net:3000/ whi

About 1 week ago Are you curious on how to create effects such as page flips, zoom, panning, flipping, bouncing, and sliding by just using CSS3 transitions?

Then checkout liffect, at first you preview which effect you like, and once you select "generate", it will present you with the markup and styles that you can add to your project.

And yes all major browsers are supported including IE10 :) The web is beautiful, right?
