December 31st, 2011Weekly Tech Roundup for December 30, 2011
December 30th, 2011
This week’s Tech Roundup includes mobile web best practices, a site-wide validator, font identification, and Waterfox.
Mobile Web Best Practices – An entire site dedicated to the best practices of mobile web. If you’re a mobile web designer or developer, you need to check out this resource.
W3Clove – Site-wide markup validation! This is going to be very handy.
Identifont – This seems a bit more detailed than What the Font!, which is another great font identification tool. You can find fonts based on appearance, name, similarity, picture, and designer/publisher.
Waterfox is a Faster, 64-Bit Optimized Version of Firefox for Windows PCs – Use Firefox on 64-bit Windows but want it to go a little faster? Take a look at Waterfox. I’m intrigued but I don’t know if I can handle another browser. :)
Have a great weekend! Happy New Year!
Weekly Small Business Roundup for December 30, 2011
December 30th, 2011
This week’s Small Business Roundup is all about the year-end and the new year.
Five Things You Should Stop Doing in 2012 – These are really excellent. Everyone should read this and take it in.
What to Do About All that Stuff – I admit that I’m a saver. And not in the money way, but in the save stuff way. I’m getting better, though. If you are like me and need some help de-cluttering, take a look at this article.
8 Metrics Every Freelancer Should Measure at the End of the Year – Another good one from Freelance Folder. Just in case you don’t already have a shiny spreadsheet to do all of these calculations for you (they exist!), the article details how to figure each out.
Lifehack has a series of New Tools for the New Year this week:

Weekly Tech Roundup for December 16, 2011
December 16th, 2011
This week’s Tech Roundup includes WordPress 3.3, power user guides for Chrome and Firefox, IE to auto update, and HTTP status cats.
What’s the Most Secure Web Browser? – The study was funded by Google and not-surprisingly Chrome was ranked the most secure browser. Each browser has a study that says their browser is the best. Still, the results are interesting.
WordPress 3.3 Released – New version of WordPress out this week. Definitely some welcome improvements (widgets, drag & drop media uploader for starters). Also, check out my post highlighting the key features and explaining why you should update.
The Power User’s Guides to Chrome and Firefox – A must-read if you spend all day in your browser, you like to tinker, or you just like to get the best out of your browsing experience. They cover interface tips & tricks, customized settings, add-ons and extensions, and other features.
Most Popular Windows Downloads and Posts of 2011 – Check these out, twenty one in all. From this article I installed Dexpot and I’ve been using it for a few days. Expose and Spaces are the two things I miss most from my Mac using days. Now they are essentially back!
Most Popular Mac Downloads and Posts of 2011 – And, of course, we can’t leave out our Mac friends. Fifteen resources in all here.
Internet Explorer to auto-update – Surprising and exciting! Microsoft is, essentially, going to force you to update your browser. XP users will get IE 8 and Vista and Windows 7 users will get IE 9. In theory, this will make the lives of designers and developers much easier. But let’s see if it works, first.
HTTP Status Cats Make Internet Errors Cute – A little fun to close the roundup this week. These are super cute. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend!
Weekly Small Business Roundup for December 16, 2011
December 16th, 2011
This week’s Small Business Roundup includes a productivity twist, taming your website, and some wonderful blog post inspiration ideas.
Stop Being So Damn Productive – An interesting perspective on productivity. There’s definitely a difference between being productive and just being busy. Worth a read, even (especially?) for a productivity junkie like me.
Is Your Website Like A Jungle? – While I like a website that has as much useful information on it as possible, I think you really have to master saying all you need to say in as few words and pages as possible. The article includes 11 tips for reviewing and paring down your site.
Finding Blog Inspiration in Unlikely Places – There are five really great suggestions here. If you find yourself stuck for a blog post, these should be your go-to ideas.
5 Tips For Writing Your 2012 Marketing Plan – Have you started work on your marketing plan for 2012 yet? Use these 5 tips to get started or revise your plan.
Are You Talking Yourself OUT of Clients Paying You? – I think this is one a lot of us get stuck on. I know it took me a while and now I won’t even talk about numbers until I know all the details of a project. My favorite “fix” in this article is the last: “Let Silence Reign.” It’s my favorite because I know it to be true and I know I need to work on it!
