As a web designer I don’t have a ton of extra peripheral tools to plug into my Mac Book Pro. Just the usual effects – good headphones for a long day, external hard drive for all that extra data (think iTunes!) but for the last year or so I’ve been using a great tool for all of my design work, the Intous 4 Medium from Wacom. Wacom is the main offender in the tablet world, all they do is tablets and tablet accessories. They offer a full range of tablets with a wide range of prices starting with the Bamboo (less than $100 for the base model) series which is for casual use and ending with the monstrous Cintiq 21UX ($2000+ for the top model) which is a full backlit LCD monitor that you can draw directly on to. The Intous 4 series falls right in the middle of Cintiq and Bamboo and for me, it is perfect.

As a Web Design Student and a new media enthusiast I am hitting the streets of Vancouver to take in the sites and experience all of the amazing Interactive Media installations that are up for the Olympics. The” Digital Gateway” is one of the world’s longest interactive walls. You can find it downtown, beside the recently facelifted skating rink at Robson Square.

I will be the first to admit that I was not a huge fan of the Olympics taking over our city, in fact I was one of the locals that seriously considered heading out on vacation to avoid the “Olympic madness” that everyone anticipated taking over Vancouver.
But as a Vancouver Web Design student with a passion for new media and interactive design, my mind is being blown every time I turn around. The ground breaking installations and interactive art that are being featured all around the city should put Vancouver on the map when it comes to interactive design innovation.

Kris Krug is a man who wears many hats; the quintessential jack of all trades. He is equally well known for his work as a fashion and street photographer as he is for his work with Social Media. He is an innovator, a maverick, a TED talker, a shameless self promoter, and one of the [...]

I am a Mac user and Safari is significantly faster on my machine. PC Adviser claims that Safari is 38 percent faster than Firefox. Safari also renders websites at a much higher resolution. So, understandably, I was thrilled when I found out I could have my cake and eat it too. Firebug Lite allows users to use the Firebug plugin with any available browser.
