Perhaps one of the most well-designed and organized compilation of information design patterns, this website created by Christian Behrens is actually part of his master’s thesis.
It’s designed in Flash, which makes it a lot easier to demonstrate the non-static design patterns (e.g. layering) as they change over time. One can also look up the patterns […]
Jeffrey Zeldman’s article, The vanishing personal site, brings to light what many of us have been wondering about in the back of our heads for a while now. Social networks that provide features often found in a personal website captured our fancies and stretched our virtual personas in all directions. That goes for both the […]
Baby Websites is a pretty interesting proposition. It’s a sub-section of hosted blogging platform Squarespace that caters specifically to the doting parents who want to show off their babies online.
The praise given by Business Week on the homepage reveals the competition Baby Websites is up against: .Mac. Sure, one can compare it to the rest […]
There was a time then the words Paul “Scrivs” Scrivens and 9rules were synonymous to Wisdump. It feels like those days are so far away, but every once in a while something takes us back, like today.

Several groups of people have come together and agreed upon these simple yet distinct icons for identifying syndicated, OPML, geotagged, shareable content.
It’s interesting to […]
It seems the online world is the perfect place for all the madness taking place every April 1st, but I’ve noticed some of the pranks circling the Web today are really good ideas and worth discussing here on Wisdump.
Gmail Custom Time
Gmail users have long wanted a send email in future time feature to avoid unnecessary […]
…and famous last words, perhaps.
I’ve done some minor fixes to the design, adding some icons to the sidebar. The cache might make it look a bit funky for a bit, both browser (Ctrl+F5 for Windows users, Command+R for Mac people), and server caching. Live with it, I’ve had to during this whole process.

The upcoming WordPress 2.5 is delayed, which I saw coming, and that’s fine. I’d rather have a working release, than a buggy one, and I’m sure most of us agree.
One of the new features in 2.5 is a revamped admin look, something that won’t sit well with every user of course. Not that today’s theme […]
You might remember that I bashed b5media for their general themes, and the lack of blog profiling in them, quite some time ago? If you don’t, then read up!
