one zombie in a billion

So I know it’s a silly thing, but something that’s always bugged me with Apple browsers is that the maximise button on the left hand side only expands to the width needed for the currently loaded page. Now the thing is, the internet is full of diversely dimensioned pages and I like most people hate horizontal scrolling, so to speed things up I put this bookmarklet together:

fullscreen
(drag and drop onto links bar)

It’s basically Zeldman’s bookmarklet for browser resizing, only with my screen size (the 1440 bit) in there.
So I figure if there’s any mac users out there who wanna browse at full screen and can’t be bothered dragging the corner of the window, this may come in handy.

another lovely package from the folks at valleyschwag.com

So it took me a couple of days to gather my scattered brain as the flight/alergies combining leaving me feeling a bit off.

@Media in a word was wicked, in two, wondrously wicked. The stuff I learned there is really invaluable to my working life as a web designer and really has given me the kick in the arse I’ve been needing to really get stuff done.

A lotta people were blogging during the sessions, so you’ll probably find more info from those guys, I felt I should just talk about what I found the most important thing of the whole conference. The tone.

See I’ve been to these things before and most of the time, we’re talking about some guy, sitting at a laptop talking about how cool this stuff is and spouting off buzzwords. Here we had a more relaxed atmosphere, speakers who don’t take themselves too seriously and will say what’s on their minds. Personally I think this makes for a better experience.

Anyway, the whole thing has got me thinking about this site, so I’ve started work on a summer redesign, that I’m about 2/3 into. This time I’ll be bringing a greater focus onto doing web design and the projects I’m working on, as well as rolling my retrosuper sketchblog into this and giving my photography more consideration.

Ah direction, it smells so sweet!

Just got back in from the airport post @media, very tired yet excited to do new stuff, will post more tomorrow.
