Digital Pulp Blog

Google Labs is at it again trying to improve the way in which we browse news and publications online with their latest experiment Google Fast Flip. In typical Google fashion it’s simple to use and fast. That said, it’s no frills and the categories are so broad that finding something of interest is not likely in its current state. Check it out:

Wired.com posted this great list of things your kids may never know about. It’s crazy to think how technology changes so quickly in our everyday lives. How easily we adapt to cordless phones and millions of songs in a device the size of a cassette tape.

And the technology advances as quickly when it comes to web site development. If not a new CMS at least a new version of the CMS is always being released promising new and better functionality. It’s hard to separate the meat from the fluff but it’s facinating stuff… at least for our tech team here at Digital Pulp.

At any rate, take a trip down memory lane as you read through this list from Wired.com:

100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About

From the NY Times:

“Much of the daily material of our lives is now dematerialized and outsourced to a far-flung, unseen network. The stack of letters becomes the e-mail database on the computer, which gives way to Hotmail or Gmail. The clipping sent to a friend becomes the attached PDF file, which becomes a set of shared bookmarks, hosted offsite. The photos in a box are replaced by JPEGs on a hard drive, then a hosted sharing service like Snapfish. The tilting CD tower gives way to the MP3-laden hard drive which itself yields to a service like Pandora, music that is always “there,” waiting to be heard. But where is “there,” and what does it look like?”

Continuing with last week’s Radiant-themed post, Sean Cribbs, started a Radiant podcast last year and chose Digital Pulp as the first subject of his interview series. He spoke with two of our developers, Josh French and John Bachir, about how we use Radiant. The interview is on the long and technical side, so it’s probably more interesting for the developers in the audience.

There’s a good interview over on RailsInside.com with Sean Cribbs, lead developer of Radiant, one of the CMSes that we use at Digital Pulp. Even though the post is from August of last year, he provides a good overview of Radiant’s raison d’être and his history with the project.

In the interview, Sean is kind enough to give DP a shout-out – he helped us during our initial Radiant project, the dynamic duo of Redken.com and RedkenSalon.com. He also mentions the inaugural Radiant Sprint Weekend, a two-day developer event that was held that October. Josh French, our lead developer (and Radiant core team member), and Justin Blecher, our Web Development Manager, attended the event, traveling down to North Carolina to meet other members of the Radiant developer community and had an absolute blast.
