Cloudiness » Found http://www.cloudiness.com Just like the old cloudiness, but bloggier Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:54:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 New York Times article skimmer http://www.cloudiness.com/2009/02/16/found/new-york-times-article-skimmer/ http://www.cloudiness.com/2009/02/16/found/new-york-times-article-skimmer/#comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:28:04 +0000 Art http://www.cloudiness.com/?p=148 This looks like a skunkworks project within the New York Times. It’s very nice: The grid scales to the window size, all the navigation can be done through the keyboard, and holding the shift key down can enlarge a story preview. It seems elegant to me in part because I figured out most of the keyboard navigation before checking the help prompt. Some of the keyboard navigation is relatively awkward (and won’t work on the iPhone), but doesn’t get in the way of simply using your mouse (if you’re using one). Via waxy.org.

Edit: Just noticed that articles’ foreground/background contrast converge to grey as they age. Check the Fashion & Style section to compare articles across a range of two weeks: Anything over six days old is considered fully stale.

So… it’s pretty easy to use?”  Apparently the research prospectus required finding a karaoke game to glue to one of Apple’s iLife products.
