I've known this was coming for some time now, but just spotted it 'in the wild' today. I worked on elements of the UI for attribute exchange between sites with Open ID (the SREG extension.) I tag-teamed on the...
Chris Heilmann does as good a job as I've seen of explaining the changes coming to Yahoo! (and a bit of "why they're coming" as well.) Opening up Yahoo! to Users and DevelopersView SlideShare presentation or Upload your own. (tags:...
Over on the YDN blog, our (brand spankin' new!) Open Standards Evangelist Eran has announced something cool. It's the First OAuth Summit and it's coming up quick. This is a great event, tho' I'm a bit frustrated at the super-short...
It is with a certain sense of pride that I watch as fellow Yahoo Christian Crumlish announces the arrival of a number of Reputation Patterns to the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library. If you've seen me speak in recent months...
Jason Long points to a long list of published papers from Google Researchers. I just wanted to point out that Yahoo! Research keeps a list as well. (I, like Jason, am baffled by a larger percentage of them, however—some look...
.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } No... really. For real this time! (You may recall that I've boasted, erroneously, about this...
One of my biggest frustrations in telecommuting for Yahoo! is this: I miss a lot of amazing speakers. A lot. Technologists, entrepreneurs, social scientists, Nobel-prize winners (no lie!) have come through Yahoo's campus since I started work more than a...
I've been in California this week, catching up on new assignments at work: meeting new team-members, hatching plans, updating sprints and generally staying pretty busy. Which is good, because if I paused to think of how much I miss my...
My old friend and several-times-over boss Erin Malone has started blogging again. Erin's the newly-minted User Experience Director for the Yahoo! Developer Network (and a helluva photographer, IA, dog-and-cat lover, and a buncha other stuff too.) So I'd keep an...
After my reminiscences about the Sony Metreon, fellow Yahoo! Andy Proehl weighed in (via email, posted here with his permission): It is no longer affiliated with Sony. I worked at Sony for about 10 years in their design group. I...
As promised, I am in Pittsburgh on a Friday night, holed up in a classroom on 5th-floor Wean on the Carnegie-Mellon campus. We've had a pretty good ebb-and-flow of interested student hackers.. we're down to only the hardcore now (and...
Yes, as Christian points out, Mash is in public beta. And... I gotta say... it's kinda fun! (Although I can't wait until someone publishes a friendlier CSS module w/finer-grained controls.) My profile is here and if you'd like an invite...
If you've arrived here at Soldier Ant from the Yahoo! User Interface Blog, Welcome! This is (mostly), a blog about nothing. Kinda like Seinfeld, only... um... not funny. Anyway, as Christian notes, today he pushed a pattern to the Open...
Yep. I, too, have followed the siren call of superfluous interface effects. If you visit the site, SoldierAnt.net (c'mon you feed-readers: fire up that browser and come check it out), you'll notice that I've added a dynamic tagline at the...
I'm mucking around a little bit with my RSS feed (for the whole six of you that subscribe to it.) After swapping out templates last week, I realized that it obscured the access-point to my FeedBurner feed for Soldier Ant....
