Thought I’d pass along a few of the interesting sites I found last week…
Inventables
Bendable wood, aluminum foam, and translucent concrete are just some of the super-cool (and pretty affordable) materials available from Inventables – the “innovator’s hardware store”.
Web design tools and resources I use
A pretty comprehensive list of resources (with links) from Ethan at Elementiks. I typically use my bookmarking service (pinboard.in) to keep track of this type of info, but I really like the look of this page and find it very easy to use.
Google Recipes
Did you know Google’s getting into recipe searches? Take a look at this article if you want to make recipes on your site more Google-friendly. There’s even a hRecipe WordPress plugin that seems to incorporate these microformat standards (although I haven’t tested it.)
The Case of the Missing Design Apprentice (ZURB)
Talk about a timely article… At the last Boulder Open Coffee Club, we talked about this seemingly always-present gap between companies seeking programming talent (UI/UX, front-end, back-end) and people who are looking for work, but may not have the exact skillset required. If companies are no longer willing to take the time and effort to “train someone up” for these roles, perhaps the community should.
Google Courts Yahoo Users with New Delicious Bookmarks Importer Tool
I love delicious.com, but with Yahoo’s decision to shut it down sell it, now may be the time to make the move. I switched to pinboard a couple of years ago, but it looks like you can now roll everything over to Google, too.
And, just for fun…
