Getaround's system is built on App Engine.
Spot on. However, I would add that much of the push for 'original' designs come from many other sources beside the designer. I can not tell you how many times I have had clients request all manner of non-standard…
Agreed, I love my S4s. They are the perfect in-ear headphones for the office and gym. Not to mention a great deal at ~$80.
I have lived in Kansas City for several years and would partially agree with your statements. I have seen most of the best people I know move elsewhere, primarily to larger cultural hubs, leaving behind a large portion…
I am very excited to see what Drchrono will do in the medical field. The industry is overdue for a smart company to come in and innovate. I don't have any hands on experience with the app yet, but it seems to address…
This really distills the car search information down to exactly what I want. Presented in such a way to where I get a feel for what the meta trends are, as well as the best/worst deals (or other anomalies). Very nicely…
Pretty much exactly how I work as well. I have been able to set a more healthy schedule in the last couple months, but it is really hard to shut down in the evening when I feel the most alive and productive.
This handy guide should help you through GoDaddy's maze of a UI. http://blog.jeffepstein.me/post/14629857835/a-step-by-step-g...
This sounds very similar to my experience, just starting with design first and then delving into programming to gain more control over the finished product. I knew that this would be a great combination to have…
Sounds like they have a similar management style to Cerner in Kansas City.
Nice site! I was just working on a pack of background textures like this that I was going to give away. I will have to submit them to the site.
It would be really interesting to see software that would accomplish this. The tricky part is that the correct kerning changes based upon what font size the text is. Most typefaces are optimized for body copy, not…
Unfortunately, at many companies you won't even meet your boss until after signing the paperwork. This leaves you to try and explain it to someone who will see your hesitance to sign and take it to mean that you are…
Just yesterday, I had a friend get run off the road and total her car because of a careless truck driver. The driver of the semi left the scene and came back only after another truck driver stopped to help my friend and…
That is the case at my company, over half of the web based applications that we have to use are built exclusively for IE. It is a massive pain, but I do not see it changing any time soon.
The site had a nice look overall. The pattern in the header drop-shadow is kind of cool, but more distracting because it looks like it is being accidentally covered up and a bit busy. I agree with what others have said…
Design is fundamentally about solving a problem. In this case the problem was that the product was ugly, not something more serious such as the design hindering successful interactions with the product. People can deal…
I am not sure that I can fully answer what the root cause is, but most of the delays are due to the various levels of approval that take forever. In addition, they are very concerned with patient information security,…
I work at a company that implements medical IT solutions for hospitals and anything with the NHS takes 3-5 times longer than in the US and other parts of Europe.
In my opinion there is nothing more frustrating than starting working in a layout program. I usually just end up feeling like I am moving crap around on the screen until something sticks. The best way to start is to…
This could be a big hit in the education sector. The management of everything would be very simple since the hardware is a commodity, there no worries about viruses/spyware and everything is automatically saved in the…
Great advice! This is the same strategy that I have developed with my own auctions and have been able fetch top dollar every time. I would also add: *Never sell anything as a bundle, always separate it out into…
I have some friends that started a letterpress printing business and they have been able to pick up vintage machinery like this for pennies on the dollar. It is quite amazing seeing it in action.
I do not know much about RISD, but this seems to be a common problem at most art schools/departments. I had to teach myself everything about UI design while I was working on my degree in visual communications. None of…
I am guessing that this could do some great things for helping to grow the tech community in Kansas City. Should be very interesting to see what the response will be from other cities if this helps to drive growth.
