Weekly Link Round-Up #31

After a busy week at work, it’s great to relax during the weekend. Even though I was getting my sister’s website finished, I always enjoy slicing a site. Here are a few things I found interesting this week:

• Initial Impressions of Silverback There has already been a lot written about the Silverback website, but no one has really been clear on what the application actually is. This is a nice review from one of the beta testers, and it looks amazing. Basically you can create a user testing environment with a Mac, and that’s all you need.
• Cubescape Ok, this is some seriously awesome JavaScript. You can create your own “isometric pixel picture”. I’m sure this took quite a time investment to create this.
• “Designing is not a profession but an attitude” I love this way of thinking. Being a Front-End Developer is not just a job for me, it’s basically my life. It’s funny how I’ll just be out somewhere, and I’ll think about how something would be marked up. If you have read Transcending CSS, you may know what I mean.
• Build a ‘WordBurner’ Email Newsletter Manager using WordPress and FeedBurner Interesting tutorial explaining how to use a normal WordPress category to create an email newsletter.
• A Letter to My Son, on Starting Out In Life Great letter with some life hints from Leo to his son. I have really enjoyed reading his site recently.
