Great Walkthrough of Contact Forms
Posted by Nam-o | Filed under design
Designing contact forms for clients or for anybody is well.. just contact forms. Sure, they’re really useful to draw in those most regarded potential clients we all freelancers long for but from a designer’s stance, contact forms are just blah! The problem some of my colleagues and I run into is that we don’t create an obsessive amount of contact forms to remember the true essence on how to build them and how to really dress them up (really!).
During my journeymen adventures of the world wide web, I came across this awesome walkthrough video blog of creating contact forms by Mr. Chris Coyier.. http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/21-walkthrough-of-contact-form/. If you prefer reading the article, just follow this link: http://css-tricks.com/creating-a-unique-contact-for/
It’s a great video to bring the spark back to designing contact forms. Check it out, even if you need some type of form tutorial, it’s a good starting point.

Scooby Doo Mystery: Zune 30 Frozen On Loading Screen
Posted by Nam-o | Filed under Electronics
There seems to be a weird case with all Zune 30’s; they’re all seem to be freezing at the loading screen. I’ve found my Zune on the dock helplessly frozen as I was helplessly frozen without any resolution to the problem.
Searching google, I ran across this message board with the same problem occurring to their Zune 30’s.. http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/gen-1/38114-zune-frozen-31.html. This just proves that there is a crazy epidemic running about and that I’m not crazy.
The good ole fashion ‘let the battery die’ trick just won’t cut it.
Is this an evil plot by Microsoft to pull this country out of recession by forcing frozen Zune 30 owners upgrading to the Zune 120 or push us to purchase Ipods?
**Update**
So there seems to be a fix if you need to have your Zune 30 in functional form,
Follow this link to Gizmodo..
Basically, you have disassemble your Zune, unhook the battery and hard drive cables, then reassemble. By following this process, it supposedly resets the internal clock.
If you rather not split your Zune in pieces, you can wait patiently for Microsoft to come out with their own solution.
