Anyway, looks interesting and I just signed up for hte beta scheduled for next year.
Interesting interface rething on email
Unblab is opening up for a beta test of their new service. It's basically a rethink of webmail interfaces and looks quite interesting. I have a gut feeling that the way we navigate in email now is closely based on the old textmode systems like Mutt, just a cronological order of subject lines. Sorting and filtering into lots of folders don't help much since you end up in a endless cycle of sorting and then viewing each of the folders. Some emails are critical and hugely important compared to others, many only serve as a log of what happened and in my case about 60-70% server as notifications about something recorded in ticket tracker. None of this is properly displayed in my current interface.Anyway, looks interesting and I just signed up for hte beta scheduled for next year.

Starting to use a 960px grid more and more now. Check out http://960.gs/
The idea es that the smallest screens we need to worry about now are 1024px wide. Leave some room for the window decorations and scrollbars and your talking about something around 960px. 960 divides nicely by 8 (and 16, 32, 80, 160, 240) which is a nice size for margins. If you stop placing things on the screen at random and start using a grid to line things up it becomes that much easier to make sure you have some sort of system behind the design and it makes sure that you leave room for the all-importante whitespaces. If this is all new to you, check out the great articles about it at http://www.subtraction.com/
As a bonus, the HTML guys don't have to work so hard to make the CSS, the code becomes smaller and the web becomes faster and cleaner. Everyone wins.
Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, try out kuler.adobe.com to grab and make color paletts for you're design. Just sign up and then you can download .ase files straight into Photoshop.
