  • Randomized Twitter's Homepage Design

    I don’t visit Twitter’s website regularly. I use Twitter from third party applications most of the time. Not sure when Twitter has another new look — the homepage has been changed few times — but when I open Twitter’s homepage, I got some different schemes. Anyway, you probably remember about its major design few months…

  • How To: Install Opera Mobile on Nokia N9

    Nokia N9 already has a built-in internet browser. It’s not the best, but it works. I like having some browsers for my Nokia N9, and currently I have Firefox Mobile and Opera Mobile installed. Both browsers (Firefox Mobile and Opera Mobile) are not available from Ovi Store. If you’re using Symbian for your Nokia, you…

  • Design Persona for Your Website

    “If your website were a person, who would it be? Is it serious, buttoned up, all business, yet trustworthy and capable? Is it a wise-cracking buddy that makes even mundane tasks fun?” Aarron Walter: Personality in Design

  • Foursquare is now available in Bahasa Indonesia!

  • YouTube's Black/Dark Player

    Last year, YouTube introduced its new video player design, and I decided to use it before it was released for public. Now, YouTube has another new player design. This time, it’s dark. The next question is: Do you like it? Do I like it? The dark element can add more contrast, but when I want…

  • Floating CSS menu on YouTube Flash Videos

    I currently involve in a website project that put videos as its primary contents. My involvement is not primary on the design. I’m just helping a little. What I like from the process is to find solution. One of the problem is on the navigation menu. It’s very common to have navigation with sub-menus. Without…

  • Twitter Redesigned

    Twitter just got its homepage redesigned (again). Here’s its new look. It’s wider now and display less elements. Previously, there was a scrolling trending topics and some tweet stream. We can’t find them anymore now. I think the new designs tries to attract more people to join (increasing registrations) by simplifying the registration process. The…

  • TED Talks video subtitles

    I like watching TED Talks videos. And, I have downloaded lots of videos from TED website. Actually, it’s okey if I watch them without subtitles. But, with subtitles I think it’s much better. The question is: is it easy to get the subtitles? The answer is: not that difficult to get it. But of course,…
