How Design Effects Users

As a web developer, I feel I know a little bit about design and functionality on a website. Lately I have been noticing my use of a website depends heavily on design and functionality, as I’m sure it does for most people whether they realize it or not. Take, for instance, how I get my news online. Here are screen…

Using GMail for files

As a college student I am often bouncing around from PC to PC as I go through my day on campus. This often means when I want to work on a project in between classes, I end up emailing it to myself and keeping it in my inbox. GMail, of-course, lends itself to this quite nicely. With it’s search, star,…

GooSync

GooSync is the 3rd party software I have been waiting for. Ever since I got my Treo and started using Google Calendar, I longed for something that could sync both of them. GooSync provides me with just that. Supporting a multitude of devices, GooSync seamlessly syncs Google Calendar over the air with your phone. With the Treo (or any Palm/Windows…

Google Notebook

For a long time now I have carried an “Ideas” Notebook around with me to jot down ideas and plans for websites, logos, clients, and anything that popped in my head really. Recently (maybe due to my Treo?), I have been carrying an Ideas Notebook around less and less. However, this leads to writing out ideas on scrap paper, in…

Firefox 2 RC2

Since getting Firefox, I have used…

Google Desktop 3

I don’t have it, but I plan on getting it. I am writing because I just got an email from my school stating that Google Desktop is ‘bad’. Google unveiled Google Desktop 3, a free, downloadable program that includes an option to let users search across multiple computers for files. To do that, the application automatically stores copies of files,…

4/5- Picasa 2

Ahh, yes, Google’s Picasa. It is a free photo editor/manager from Google- and it is simple wonderful. Basically what it does is search your computer for any pictures. Then it organizes them (within the program) and you can edit them. But the edits don’t take to the picture. They are saved in picasa until you physically save the picture. If…
