Weekly Roundup (Large Hadron Collider Edition)
So apparently we’re still here after they flipped the swtich on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). If you ever have any doubts you can visit Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet? And if you still aren’t sure what the LHC is, be sure and check out The Large Hadron Rap.
We now return to your scheduled weekly roundup:
Cappuccino Web Framework - Pick a framework, any framework. It seems like there are new web app frameworks being released every week but this one does look different. Cappuccino promises “desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser”. From a look at the examples they do seem pretty cool but seem to suffer a bit from the latency of the web.
Flash Spider - A fun little web toy where you control a spider (and make it eat flies).
Look at it Another Way - Great user experience article from Indi Young. In addition to the article there is a discount code for 10% off her Mental Models book (the next item in my reading queue).
Random Password Generator - For when you need a cryptic password you’ll never remember.
More Cowbell - Upload a song, specify how much cowbell and Walken you want, enjoy the results. If you don’t understand why this is funny please watch this video. You’re welcome.
P.s. Check out these LHC Webcams.
