| Science behind intelligent design? 2007-08-03 22:53:00 I am interested in reading this: Michael Behe - The edge of evolution...I had expected to be as irritated by Michael Behe’s second book as by his first. I had not expected to feel sorry for him. The first — “Darwin’s Black Box” (1996), which purported to make the scientific case for “intelligent design” — was enlivened by a spark of conviction, however misguided. The second is the book of a man who has given up. Trapped along a false path of his own rather unintelligent design, Behe has left himself no escape. Poster boy of creationists everywhere, he has cut himself adrift from the world of real science.FULL NYT REVIEWBe sure to stop by for more later!

If you caught the premiere of Design Star on Sunday then I’m betting you saw that Robb may not be the most friendly guy in the bunch. However, I didn’t think he could have possibly become this abrasive so quickly into the show. Sometimes in reality TV we’ll see a couple of heads butt together early on, but this time around it was more than one voicing speaking up about Robb’s attitude. I think you’ll be surprised by who really laces into him. Check out the outtake scene that wasn’t part of last week’s epsiode of Design Star.

Here are seven important rules of thumb to observe to make sure your website performs well. Easy Web Video Software1) Do not use splash pagesSplash pages are the first pages you see when you arrive at a website. They normally have a very beautiful image with words like "welcome" or "click here to enter". In fact, they are just that -- pretty vases with no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click on the "back" button! Give them the value of your site up front without the splash page.2) Do not use excessive banner advertisementsEven the least net savvy people have trained themselves to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valueable content and weave relevant affiliate links into your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being push | | REMADE IN ARGENTINA - DESIGN CONNECTION by cienporcientodiseño 2007-07-29 20:40:34

Milan Fashion Campus the | | Design Star: Season 2 Starts Sunday on HGTV 2007-07-27 12:00:50
This Sunday on HGTV the second season of the reality series Design Star will be starting. If you’re not familiar think The Apprentice meets Designing. While I’ll admit to having watched nearly every episode of House Hunters and Curb Appeal this was an HGTV show that I had completely missed. Lucky for me, and you, I got my hands on a promo copy of the season premiere of Design Star and it was actually pretty good.
Instead of the usual, overstuffed casts Design Star starts off with a very manageable list of 11 designers. Well, mostly all designers. One of the contestants, Kim, seems to be there on a lucky chance as she’s actually a hair dresser from New York, though she declares there to be a close similarity between the two jobs. The rest of the cast ranges from your stay-at-home traditional tastes mom, Christina, to Californian surfer-dude Todd, and don’t forget “Sparkle” Josh who is not to be confused with regular Josh.
Each week the desi | | Google Trying Out a New Homepage Design: Taiwan, Hong Kong 2007-07-25 15:43:33
The people behind the most popular search engine on the net, Google, are testing out a new look for their website.
“We think [the new design] will be more appropriate for the local cultures, and their context, and their broadband connections, which, for example in Korea, are extraordinarily fast,” Brin said, adding that the response to the new site designs had been “quite positive.”
The new ‘look’ is directly related to the high speed broadband they have out there. Take a look at the changed layout here , be sure to comment and tell us what you think.
If you ask me, it just looks like they’ve added a few minor images to their links and moved a couple of things out the way. Nevertheless, they usually know what they’re doing. Whether the ‘improved’ design will reach our apparent ’slower connections’ here is another issue, let’s hope so.

Many design principles that go into car designing also goes into motorcycle designing as well. But there are a few areas which have some fundamental differences. When designing chassis for the new Motoczysz C1 and Ecosse Spirit ES1 Motorcycles, they are far different than that of a car.
A car chassis needs to be as stiff as possible, whereas with a motorcycle the chassis needs to have a bit of flex in it as there are only two contact patches on the ground.
The Motoczysz C1 motorbike has gone about the design of their new bike by reducing the width of the engine, the four cylinders have been arranged in a V, and this helps to give lower output. Designers have also adding a few more gears in the crankshaft.
The Ecosse Spirit ES1 has a whole new design approach; this motorcycle does not have what we would call a conventional chassis. With this in mind they have managed to sit the rider much lower than normal, his knees are also much closer together.
Both the Motoczysz C1 and Ecosse Spir | | General: Planning for Load Testing - Application Design 2007-07-22 04:37:00 This is the point that the load tester must understand how the application works. When we refer to how it works, it’s not about just clicks on links and buttons, or the calendar will pop up. It goes deeper such as the following but not limited to the list: What is the type of communication between the client and server?Is the application client-side?Is there client-side activities involved in the entire application?What is the authentication mechanism?Does the application allow multiple login of a single user?How does the application maintain a session?How does the load balancer distribution the load?What are the parameters been sent to the server? Basically, this is actually gathering the technical details of the application unlike the initial Soliciting Requirements which comprises of the “big picture” information. Without knowing how it works and you start clicking the links and buttons, you are bound for a failing load te | | Web Design and SEO: The Eternal Debate 2007-07-20 23:01:00 Web design focuses on appearance and aesthetics. SEO focuses on text quality and quantity. Web designers don't really like to clutter their designs with text. They prefer to see the images stand out on their own. SEOs on the other hand don't like images that much. Sure, an image can be optimized for the search engines by adding relevant alt attributes and titles, but this is not enough for a site to be properly optimized. Page copy still plays the most important role in website optimization for SEO.As a business owner you are caught in the middle of this conflict. For your website to convert you need both design and optimization. There is no middle way. You cannot have a little bit of this and a little bit of that and still be competitive. You cannot have just one of the two either. Without optimization your site is invisible to the search engines, hence to your potential customers. On the other hand, without a good design your site, although not invisible, will get nothing but hits. | | design dots + blogs = NOTCOT+ Obvious + Yatzer + FFFFound 2007-07-17 12:32:00 these 4 links always good post and nice surprises... they write a litlle summary, perfect for us to discover new links about design , fashion, events...estes 4 links sempre muito bons posts e cheio de boas surpresas ...

The bulky, gas-pressurized outfits give astronauts a bubble of protection, but their significant mass and the pressure itself severely limit mobility.Dava Newman, a professor of aeronautics and astronautics and engineering systems at MIT, wants to change that.Newman is working on a sleek, advanced suit designed to allow superior mobility when humans eventually reach Mars or return to the moon.
