@ elizium.nu/ they have DHTML lemmings running in a browser Pretty cool if you ask me – DHTML is an essential part of Ajax – these guys has it nailed.

Wikipedia has a nice run down of the history of graphical user interfaces

Lots of sceenshots too:

We owe a lot to Douglas Engelbart – He did not have the imagination to think of mobile devices, but hey we are still not finished building the stuff he was thinking about :-)

I am getting lazy just posting videos but here is a real nice one:

Multi-touch UIs are kewl and I am sure they will have some sort of impact one we get larger displays as a commodity.

You can touch and manipulate things directly on the displays surface, and the display registers more than one touch at a time. It can also capture gestures enabling the interface to expand over what can be done with a mouse alone.

Multi Touch is certain to something we will see a lot more of.

At Adobe they are celebrating the 10′TH anniversary of Flash

It all started with one idea — the notion that drawing on a computer could be as easy and expressive as drawing on paper. In 1996, that idea became software, and that software became Flash®, the industry standard for creating interactive digital content. Today, Flash is a complete multimedia development environment used to create everything from rich Internet applications to mobile device content.

I disagree – don’t get me wrong I love the videothing you did, but the navigation in your history monster megabyte download is confusing.

I have always had a hard time with alternative and immersive menu structures. I prefer navigation to be predictable and preferably boring.

Too many flash sites have a annoying menu like Adobe put in this 10′TH anniversary movie. I have a timeline and a globe and a satellite and NO way of seeing the total amount of information available to me, ohh and some of them are moving targets. Anyway – I never got to much of the content. I found it too difficult.

Another thing that is kind of odd how come Flash so often end up being a sort of cartoon tool? Anyway – html for me plz. :D
