The Elusive UX Designer [Vimeo]
Been trying to post more frequently, so here’s some more awesome for your day! Sweet video from vimeo, which is an homage to UX Designers. I spend all day working as a UX Designer/Developer so I just had to post this.

I use alot of social networking sites, and most of them load pretty fast. I decided to run a little test to see which sites loaded the fastest (this is a gotta-have-it-now culture right?). The results are pretty interesting, here they are, with the screen captures of the full tests.
I performed these tests on a weekday around 4:40pm- I figured that’s when everyone would be browsing the web while awaiting the end of the day.
Fastest: Linkedin.com
Slowest: Digg.com
Google.com – 0.7s – Control
Linkedin.com – 2.7s
Myspace.com – 2.8s
Facebook.com – 4.6s
Reddit.com – 4.6s
Stumbleupon.com – 6.1s
Twitter.com – 11.5s
Digg.com – 12s

Hey blogfans! Hope everyone had a good 4th, I was busy enjoying a little [too much] sun down in Outer Banks, North Carolina. I’m on the clock right now so no time for long-winded descriptions and fanciful storytelling- but my buddy Spence shared this link with me and I just had to pass it on.
//STATiC – click it, you know you want to
Life has been a little crazy balancing taking so many credit hours [20], wrapping up my final quarter at RIT, my day job, TCBN, and keeping my blog up to date but its almost 1am and I finally have time to post!
I found these pretty cool “load test” flash movies [a while ago] that serve as an awesome example of how much more efficient actionscript 3 is over actionscript 2. I am currently a huge AS2 junkie, but with my recent coursework in Flex and current project in AS3 based flash, I am getting more and more fond of it. There are some differences from AS2, don’t expect a point and click transition from one version of actionscript to the other. If you are familiar with object-oriented design in AS2 the move is nearly painless (off the top of my head: Document class, event handlers, and * var type [yes, *]).
Flash is here to stay, and it’s good to see that the language that powers it is maturing as well.
* Only run one load test at a time for accurate results
