My Globe Daily 1 bike has finally arrived! It took over 3 weeks after ordering it online from Evans Cycles , but it was worth the wait for the fact that it was all setup, bar attaching the pedals and straightening the handlebars. They even provide a free multitool. Normally, I wouldn’t have bought a bike that I hadn’t a chance to try first, but all the research I did led me to the Globe Daily as the bike I wanted: a modern hybrid bike with retro styling. My heart was set and I love its looks even more in the flesh… It has a front basket/rack (does rack sounds more manly?) with integrated d-lock holder. I’m still in two minds about whether to keep this on or not. … Read the rest here

RØDE VideoMic Pro : I like my current RØDE mic , but I definitely don’t like how cumbersome it is. Not only is this Pro version more compact, but supposedly it sounds much better, too. Scheduled to be released in a few weeks and retail at $230, or about $90 more than the current version. Additional details and a sample video available over at Philip Bloom’s site . … Read the rest here

Let’s face it, testing multiple browsers on multiple systems isn’t very practical. But it’s still a fact of life for the web developer. What I’m about to show you is how I manage testing in multiple browser versions. About three years ago, I used to do all of my development on a Windows laptop. I had an old Mac G3 tower, an Ubuntu server, and a Windows 2000 server… Read the rest here

I ran into this rather odd rendering in Firefox 3.6. I had a fieldset with content following it that was nested inside a list item. <ul> <li><fieldset> … </fieldset> <p>Additional information.</p> <li> </ul> The odd behaviour became quickly evident when my list bullet would not line up next to the fieldset, as expected. Instead, it lined up with the content that appeared immediately after the fieldset. I haven’t found an easy fix for this except to remove the fieldset entirely. … Read the rest here

It’s been an awful lot of work to get what was on the face of it, a simple idea , finally released. After 4 months of design, development and bug-fixing, my Shelf theme for The Theme Foundry is now available for Wordpress and Tumblr. This is a time of both joy, pride and nervousness! I’ve been working with Yan Sarazin of Statik Pulse , who has implemented the javascript side, and Brandon Dove who converted the HTML & CSS design into the final Wordpress Theme. Along with Drew Strojny who commissioned the theme, the team has been a joyful experience to work with! I’ve also learned a lot about using Git from this project, which has been an unexpected bonus. I’ll be doing a more thorough write-up of the process and what interesting challenges we had to solve along the way, but in the meantime, there is a Flickr Set where I’ve been documenting the process, and Drew has a written a post to introduce Shelf .

The Short Review The Boxee Box is a well made, beautiful piece of hardware that plays even large mkv files without complaining. However, it has a mass of regressions from the beta version: missing functionality, downgraded UI aesthetics & usability and online content is given more importance than your own files. All issues I have with Boxee Box are potentially solvable via firmware updates though! The Long Review After waiting 11 months for it be released, it was a shock when I discovered that the final Boxee Box UI had undergone so many radical changes. I cancelled my order, preferring to try the desktop software first to be sure that it still suited me as much as the beta. However, I saw some more reviews, spoke to the Boxee CEO Avner Ronen and saw his responses to the issues and felt confident again. So, the order was back on! There are many excellent reviews out there, and I will try not to cover the same ground as those, so make sure you also read: Engadget Crunchgear Matt Apps Next, let me state the conditions and criteria of this review. … Read the rest here

Two months ago, I called Twitter out on their insistence that developers use OAuth when authorising with Twitter while they themselves continued to use the password anti-pattern when they wanted to peek into third-party address books. I’m happy to report that Twitter have since fixed this. If you go to the Find Friends portion of the “Who To Follow” section, you’ll now be greeted with links that lead to correct authentication with LinkedIn, Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. Thanks, Twitteroonies! Meanwhile, Flickr recently launched their own “Who to Follow” functionality. There is nary a password request in sight: they’ve implemented correct authentication right out of the gate for Yahoo , Gmail , Hotmail and Facebook … Read the rest here
