I want to build Pique in html 5 and CSS 3. Despite some concerns about older browsers…well, if the people out there like celebrity photos that much then they’ll switch to Chrome. Hey, it’s cheaper than buying a iPad.   I adore this coverflow and wish I could embed it here. Click on it, it’s [...]

I have now made numerous sketches of Pique for both my own understanding of how this might work, and to have something to show potential designers and developers.

What video does for a start-up comes down to more than just engagement and story—it raises the overall quality of a site. I think even if you can do a successful promo video, users will see your site as a professional endeavor. Right now, I’m not sure what kind of video I’ll have on the [...]
