Viewing jQuery DOM Event Bindings With FireBug

2009-10-06T04:23+09:00

The ease with which we can bind events to DOM elements using jQuery is a huge part of what makes jQuery so awesome. But, as with many things that are wired-up programmatically, when something doesn't work, it can be hard to figure out where it went wrong. One cool tip that I picked up reading Cody Lindley's jQuery Enlightenment book is that jQuery-bound events are actually stored in the data() method using the "events" key. This means that if we need to, we can use FireBug at runtime to inspect the events that are bound to a given DOM element."

Sony Slim Playstation 3 - The Playfaces

2009-10-02T05:47+09:00

From ad agency Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo and directed by Partizan Dark Room's Timothy Saccenti, edited by Dayn Williams of Cut + Run, both of whom traveled to Japan for the project.

Dayn Williams was asked to come on board by +cruz, Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo. Having worked together on the Nike "Like Love" Campaign, Williams was +cruz's natural choice. Dayn approached the project with a complicated ''frame cutting'' technique. He was also involved with the entire creative process, working closely with the agency, director and the color correction and effects talent during each phase of production.

The ad uses computer metaphors to describe driving the Cube. The driver gets in the vehicle and a computer icon pops up "Login". Then the Cube starts on its way, but using special effects it travels like on a conveyor belt, with the road moving. The driver meets up with his friends, a computer icon popping up "Add Friends". He then plugs in his iPod to play music. The friends arrive at a party, and a computer icon says "Join Group".

Google Wave: A Complete Guide

2009-06-07T18:07+09:00

Google (Google reviews) promised to deliver something spectacular on the second day of the Google I/O conference, and they did not disappoint. Google has just announced Google Wave (Google Wave reviews), a new in-browser communication and collaboration tool that is already being hailed by some as the next evolution of email. Yes, Google Wave is potentially that disruptive.

Created by two of the guys behind Google Maps (Google Maps reviews) with a small team in Sydney, the concept behind Google Wave is to unify communication on the web. Its a hybrid of email, web chat, IM, and project management software. It features the ability to replay conversations because it records the entire sequence of communication, character by character. Because of this, discussions are also live in Google Wave: you will see your friends type character-by-character.

The features dont stop there, either. Google Wave also supports the ability to drag attachments from your desktop into Google Wave. It loads that file and sends it immediately to anyone in the conversation. Its also embeddable, so you can embed Google Wave conversations on any blog.

Trailer

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.
