Super Sexy Ajax Scripts and Resources
February 19, 2008
While I dont know much about Ajax. I do know that it can produce some slick looking tools and designs elements. I spend a lot of time looking over the various Ajax based sites to see what they are coming up with so I can stay on top of whats out there. By knowing what type of scripts are out there, it helps me plan and design for future sites.
Many of these scripts came from an ever growing list of Ajax scripts called Ajax Rain. Here are links to the Ajax rain site and some other great places to see whats going on in the word of Ajax.
Ajax Links:
- Ajax Rain - 944 links and counting
- Max Kiesler - Nice list of ajax galleries and slideshows.
- Smashing Magazine - 80+ Ajax Solutions for Designers
- Tutorial Blog - Mostly CSS stuff, but has some Ajax scripts worth looking at.
Hot looking Ajax Scripts:

Rabid Ratings - RabidRatings is a simple but eye-caching ratings system which allows users to your website to rate virtually anything.

Starbox - Another rating script. Starbox allows you to easily create all kinds of rating boxes using just one PNG image.
CSS Text Gradients - Kind of usles, but cool that you can do it. Text Gradient is a simple css trick that allows you to improve your site’s appearance by putting gradients on system font titles using nothing but css and a png image.
Facebox - Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox which can display images, divs, or entire remote pages.
Fotonotes - A Flicker style note on your images. Fotonotes is an standard, specification, and collection of scripts for annotating images.

Sub Tag Cloud - Using jQuery to reduce the size of the tag cloud that you have on your sites, so our demo will introduce “Hover Sub Tags” under each main Tag, for example if you have Ajax as a tag, you can have jquery, mootools, etc… as sub-tags.

Video Box - A lightbox script for videos. Videobox is a 6kb script, which shows your videos in the page with an overlay. It was inspired from Lightbox.v2 and uses some of the Slimbox’s code. It’s written for the wonderful mootools library. And used swfobject to embed flash.
Spellify - An automatic spell checker.

Video Blog post Ideas
February 19, 2008
I got a Flip Camcorder for the holidays and want to start using it to do some video blog post for Outlaw Design Blog. As I am a little camera shy, Im not sure what would make for a good video posts. So I thought I would ask you what you would be interested in seeing or knowing about?
For the record, I consider my self to be extremely gifted at the business side of the design world. So any questions you have about the business of graphic design could make good topics.
So think about it and let me know. I will be taking the camera to Costa Rica with me in a few days and will probably do some video posts there.
