Ha már ilyen jól bejön ez a blogos álláshirdetősdi, akkor lenne még egy online gazdasági újságírói pozícióm is. Napi 8 órás meló, számlára, otthonról és bentről is űzhető. "Régebben volt MOL-om, konyítok valamit a gazdasághoz" típusú emberek kíméljenek.

[I was forbidden to blog during the 2008 campaign, so this is less timely than I would like it to have been... Oh well.] The Municipal League of King County has a really noble mission. They rate candidates for political office, giving voters more information while subjecting the political process to a modicum of quality control. They do a pretty good job of it, too. Candidates gripe about their ratings (”Good” isn’t as good as ...

Furniture Fashion has reviewed some innovative "small space furniture" this year, and here is the best one I have seen in a long time. From BoConcpet comes the perfect ottoman / extra fold out bed combination that takes up a miserly 2 square feet and easily folds out to a full lenght sleeping surface. By day use it the ottoman to comfortably prop up your feet, and at night simply lift off the fabric cover ...

In a country where piracy is a way of life and the circumscription of art by government muddies its social value, the Chinese Ministry of Culture has demonstrated crackerjack legislative priorities by, wait for it, banning lip synching. This follows the well known lip-synch scandal at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and various other complaints about lip-synched performances. The Register reports: China's ministry of culture has announced a clampdown on miming professional musos, marking ...

This is one of those unusual occasions on which I feel genuine sympathy for Microsoft, which has a hard time catching a break in China. It's true there was, during the Tim Chen era, a brief flowering during which Microsoft's government relations improved and the company appeared to make real progress licensing Windows to Chinese OEMs. Remember when Hu Jintao visited Bill Gates? But Tim is in NBA land now (much more glamorous, and with ...

Alec Stewart is not the sniping type, but this must count as one of the vaguest, faintest forms of praise in many a year. Collingwood, with respect, is a poor man’s Mark Ealham Ouch! And meoww. “With respect” ranks alongside “to be fair” as one of those phrases which means decidedly less than nothing. It’s a minus-phrase, but not as bad as “I’m not a racist, but…” Still, he’s a got a point has the ...

Several studies have been conducted to substantiate the importance of power napping and the positive benefits to reaction time and concentration that even a 30 minute nap can offer. Tutored by Stefanie Eberding and Siegfried Irion, 20 architecture students met to create products for power napping, and after extensive research a workshop in Rotterdam formed four different groups with different goals for their products. The Institute for Living and Design at the University of Stuttgart's ...

God, I think I love Bill Lawry. Just listen to this collection of blinkered, one-eyed, completely OTT commentary. He is an inspiration to someone, somewhere, and let’s hope he gives birth to a new generation of ridiculously enthusiastic commentators. Take it away, Bill, you ruddy bluddy legend. The video is here if you can’t see it above.

Imagethief was not in the least surprised to hear that Chinese netizens were outraged that movie actress Gong Li has taken Singapore citizenship. But then, Imagethief is not in the least surprised by anything that outrages Chinese netizens. Chinese netizens were outraged when Gong Li played a Japanese woman in "Memoirs of Geisha", alongside fellow crypto-Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi. (In fact, all the leading roles in Memoirs of a Geisha were played by ethnic Chinese ...

From wikipedia: "Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Japanese: 歌川国芳) (1797-1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting and belonged to the Utagawa school."Kuniyoshi is well-covered online (see here and here), but I have the feeling these bizarre images have not circulated as much as his prints of warriors and cats. Be sure to view my complete flickr set and blow-up the images (many are cropped to highlight Kuniyoshi's ...

由於我們公司有提供電子報發送平台的服務,目前也有不少客戶利用我們的平台發送與管理電子報,有些客戶僅僅發送 E-DM 都是提供整張圖片發送出去,所以比較沒有版型壞掉的問題,但有些客戶發的是有許多內容的電子報,這樣的電子報若是經過網頁設計師精心設計過的話,恐怕是會失望大過於成就感的。 收信、看信的介面越來越多元,但大多數人還是使用桌面的收信軟體或網頁式的收信介面,而桌面的收信軟體一堆,網頁式的收信介面也更多,像是 Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, ... 而且還有分新版、舊版、Web 2.0 版、... 一大堆的,重點是每一個收信的介面對於網頁的顯示能力都有些許差異,導致電子報的版型極難設計! 今天就有位客戶打電話來抱怨,說他們設計的電子報為什麼用我們的平台發信到 Gmail 後所有的 CSS 設定的樣式(Style)都消失了!?我將我去年寫的文章給他看,並解釋為何會出現這個問題,且這個問題真的跟我們的發報平台無關。 因為我去年我就寫過一偏關於電子報網頁版型設計建議的文章,但由於網路環境經常在變化,今年又推出了 A Guide to CSS Support in Email: 2008 Edition 建議設計師們可以上去查看看。 以我們客戶為例,因為他將電子報的 styles 全部都定義在 <head> 中,並以 <style> 標籤設定 Page-level Stylesheet,這在之前應該是一般設計師在設計電子報網頁時的慣例,因為使用 Dreamwaver 很容易就可以將電子報設計完成,不過如下圖所示,這種 <style> in <head> 的用法在 Gmail 是完全不支援的! 接著,他反問我如果把這些 style 寫在元素(element)中是不是就可以了?我回答:「不一定,而且你電子報網頁的 CSS 也設定了許多背景圖(background-image)樣式,所以你應該還是會失望,因為在 Gmail 中一樣不支援。」 總之,客戶還是很失望,因為這問題實在難解,所以除了要看我之前寫的電子報網頁版型設計建議之外,比較簡單的原則還是不要設計太精緻的 HTML + CSS 在電子報網頁中,應該比較不會有太多的失落感! 另外我也介紹大家另一個不錯的網站:Email Standards Project,裡面有許多有用的資訊可以協助網頁設計師瞭解在設計與 E-mail 有關的網頁時應注意的事項,與他們的研究成果跟建議。 相關連結 A Guide to CSS Support in Email: 2008 Edition A Guide ...
