Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Thursday, October 15th, 2009O’Reilly Media and Jonathan Stark were nice enough to share this free online book while they finalize it. It goes into detail about offline caching, animation and deployment options to help anyone build their own iPhone app with standard website technologies. Want to make an app? There’s a book for that.
Exhibiting Software
Monday, August 25th, 2008There are undoubtedly some hurdles preventing contemporary art spaces from exhibiting software. From my experience, the software exhibited carries an experience generally closer to a screensaver or generative painting. But who blames them?

Each created their own flickr.com account for managing their portfolio photos and a WordPress-based website. These portfolios relied on a system of [...]
cphn: text messaging microformat
Friday, August 5th, 2005I’ve started research on an xhtml-based text-messaging application microformat called cphn and pronounced “see phone.” Instead of cramming the web onto small-screened, bandwidth-limited cellphones, we can take advantage of a cellphone native technology (text messaging) to create interactive experiences tailored for these small devices while retaining tie-ins with our web-based databases of information.
