That New Sixty Thing
I was talking with my buddy Adam Michela the other day, and he gave me the run-down of his new project, Sixtyspots. Here’s the skinny:
It makes travel more fun. Without giving away too many of Adam’s project secrets, Sixtyspots will let you find out great recommendations for where to go, what to do when you’re there, and what kind of secret handshake is needed for the good tequila (I heard this grip gets you Patron in Pittsburgh.) Suggestions and ideas from real people who have been there, done that, and now want to help you.
Nokia Phone Browsers Running Safari?
Apple has teamed up with Nokia to produce an open source version of Safari to work on the next Nokia cellphones due out next year. This new web browser project is supposed to be compatible with a slew of other cellphones as well, including ones from LG and Samsung.
This announcement comes after Apple recently released the HTML/CSS and Javascript Safari rendering engines to the open source community.
As a web designer, this makes me excited because that means the CSS mobile profile might become a reality for mobile browser users now that a great browser like Safari is rendering it all.
