Intense Minimalism

One of the most promising guy I’m pleased to know, Davide ‘Folletto’ Casali, has just updated his domain and his blog, to intenseminimalism.com. To describe what he’s into he uses a nice formula: Hybrid Interaction Designer = Design × Psychology × Technology /  Simplicity × Complexity.

His work is really inspiring: simplicity and minimalism together are really a great tools to lay down and explain complex thoughts.

Scrollbars to full page flash

Sometimes you simply want to summon browser’s scrollbars to scroll your full page, in case of a too low resolution for example.

This great plugin for jquery from think2loud.com handles the problem.

It suggest to use the JQuery Flash Plugin to embed the swf movie, but works perfectly also with the flexbuilder default html template.

Also, I suggest to include jQuery api from a Content Delivery Network, to provide faster access worldwide, like the Google AJAX api library or the Yahoo one.

Flash & Math

Since my particular relationship with math during all of my studies, one site about ActionScript programming I really do like following is FlashAndMath. There are a lot of good tutorial about non trivial problems, so fire up your (Google)  Reader and start tracking this site.

I usually talk about problems and tricks i see during work hours, but I really should evolve and talk a little more about maths here. :-)

On a side note, if anyone has suggestions about things i may talk about, just drop a line.
