Glimmer: a jQuery Interactive Design Tool For Designer & Developers
http://visitmix.com/lab/glimmer
Glimmer: a jQuery Interactive Design Tool is a prototype from the Mix
Online Labs which makes jQuery accessible through a visual tool. The
objective for Glimmer is pretty simple: to enable the power of jQuery
through an interactive design surface. If jQuery is the "write less, do
more” JavaScript library, then Glimmer is the “write none, do more”
jQuery design tool. Glimmer has three core audiences: power users,
designers and developers.
Without having to write any JavaScript code, you can use
Glimmer’s wizards to generate jQuery scripts for common interactive
scenarios. Glimmer also has an advanced mode, providing a design
surface for creating jQuery effects based on your existing HTML and
CSS.

Why Email Clients Need to Change
via gigaom.com
My inbox is broken.
Not in an I-can’t-check-my-messages kind of way, but in a fundamental, inboxes-will-never-be-the-same-again kind of way.
Analysis of inbox traffic for 30 daysWith every birthday reminder, bill confirmation, new friend, direct message, password recovery, and mailing list, the content of our inboxes becomes less and less a means of communication and more and more a record of all we do online. Email is the lowest common denominator of digital identity. It’s our web keychain. It’s the catch-all of our online lives.
But if inboxes don’t fundamentally change in order to adapt to their new role as the keeper of myriad transactions across the entire web, they’ll be obsolete.
This is something that I have been thinking for a long time. There is so much intelligence that can be built into the email client. The Email client is completly aware of an indivisuals digital identity, travel, bank statements, newsletters etc. I think is there is so much potential for innovation.

BMW: Checkmate, Audi.
via 37signals.com
Brilliant move by a local BMW dealer in responding to a national Audi ad. Audi’s 2009 A4 ad on the left side of the street says “Your move, BMW.” Santa Monica BMW comes back with an M3 ad across the street that says “Checkmate.” Now that’s advertising.
What do you do if you’re Audi?
Gotta Love it!
