I was searching for the complete section 508 documentation today and came across Usability.gov, which, “includes information and resources on making web sites and other user interfaces more useful and usable”.
Now, if you were to click on that link you’d see one of the ugliest, most unusable websites on the web. Our crazy, crazy government.
Ah well.

Holy crap. I’ve been reading Engadget for around two years now and I’ve actually been thinking lately that they should update their website.
Well, they have. Finally.
Overall, I love the new layout. They obviously couldn’t change everything, being a heavily trafficked blog and everything, but what they did change is great.
They’ve added nice little jquery accordions on the lower portion of the sidebar to display their sister sites. Works flawlessly and saves a ton of space on an otherwise very busy site.
I’m loving the new Engadget branches at the top right of the new design. They give easy access to all versions, if you will, of the Engadget family.
Honestly, though, my favorite update is the footer. Geez I was getting sick of having the footer take up 40% of the freakin’ window. It’s much slicker looking now and takes up a lot less space.
Even better: Less perceived adspace. Neat!

It’s been a long time since I’ve even thought about this site, but I knew I needed to sit down and learn TextPattern and I figured this would be a decently productive way of doing so…

The new Pixelsplendor business cards came in a few days ago from JakPrints. I’m not completely happy with them, due to a white hairline near the top of every card caused by the color not bleeding off the top edge. I don’t know whether this was my fault or Jak’s, but it’s probably not noticeable to the average person anyway…
Peace.
