Some websites now contain 'responsive images'. These scale (or crop) depending upon your screen's viewing area, so the image sizes remain appropriate whether you're looking at the website on a mobile phone, or on a huge flat screen monitor.

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:24:00 -0800 America’s Top 20 New Sandwiches http://thianhlu.com/americas-top-20-new-sandwiches http://thianhlu.com/americas-top-20-new-sandwiches

#8 Crispy Drunken SandwichBaguette Box, Seattle

Have you ever dug into a steamy Styrofoam container of General Tso’s chicken and thought, “This is delicious, but it would be tastier on a bun?” Of course you haven’t, that’s insane. But crazy is sometimes genius as proven at this tiny Seattle sandwich shop, where hunks of tender chicken are deep-fried and glazed in a tangy brown sauce, then served on a crispy baguette with caramelized onions and cilantro. The result is a supremely sticky, but utterly satisfying sandwich. (Photo: Sevius)

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:55:00 -0800 Head of Product is More Valuable than 5 Engineers | Michael Karnjanaprakorn http://thianhlu.com/head-of-product-is-more-valuable-than-5-engin http://thianhlu.com/head-of-product-is-more-valuable-than-5-engin

the Head of Product for any company is responsible for three major things:

1) Setting the overall product strategy and vision.
2) Coming up with simple and creative solutions to the most complex problems.
3) Getting things done and shipping product by saying no to 99% of feature ideas.

Each team is setup differently, so your head of product can have a great design, technology, or product management background, but at the end of the day, his/her main focus is to make sure the ship is steering in the right direction. (Keep in mind that your Head of Product is NOT your Product Manager. Product management is one small snippet of the overall responsibility.)

Hotmail doesn't support "margin" or "margin-top"

Hotmail does not support the "margin" nor the "margin-top" CSS properties (both inline and embedded) for any HTML element. Our recommendation is to stick with margin-left, margin-right, and margin-bottom properties.

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:36:00 -0800 Photoshop Tip: Snap Shapes to Pixels http://thianhlu.com/photoshop-tip-snap-shapes-to-pixels http://thianhlu.com/photoshop-tip-snap-shapes-to-pixels

Why is snapping to pixels with shape layers important?

For website design, snapping to pixels is imperative. The web is still a pixel-based medium, and will be for years. Because of this, it's not possible to define images, shapes, layers, or text at a non-whole-number pixel measurement. Not only that, but we can't even save images with a width or height that are not whole numbers. So, precision in your design mockups is just as important as precision in your site.

Bad

Good

He attributes most of this to the fact that he's at the table with that five-person integrated product team, which he says acts like a "hive mind," bouncing ideas off each other, and making decisions as a group. "If marketing needs something designed, it comes through product," he says." Every facet, every feature needs to be looked at in the same regard.

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:18:00 -0800 Hidden habits of ineffective people by Chris Wake - Quora http://thianhlu.com/hidden-habits-of-ineffective-people-by-chris http://thianhlu.com/hidden-habits-of-ineffective-people-by-chris
No one sets out to be ineffective, but it's easy to pick up the habits. Too easy.

Consuming more than you create -
Effective people tend to create a lot of content. Content can mean a lot of things - but the rule is always the same, create more than you consume. Ineffective people, on the other hand, spend the majority of their time consuming the fruits of others' labor. They are consummate lurkers.

Watching your own vanity metrics - 
Everyone suffers from some level of vanity. A need to be liked. The Internet feeds that need, keeping popularity at the forefront of any online identity with lists of 'Friends,' 'Followers,' 'Connections,' 'Re-Pins' and even the 'Like' itself. Ineffective people tend to feed on these popularity metrics, whereas effective people recognize that these are shallow indicators. Effective people focus more on engagement and strength of relationships; they create quality content to solicit engagement from others, or seek out interesting people and proactively engage them on their own terms.

Starting the day responding to others -
Ineffective people allow others to set the agenda for their day. They start their morning reading or responding to others' requests. Effective people approach each day with an agenda for what they want to accomplish, start their day tackling a task crucial for accomplishing their goal, and respond to others when (or if) it works with their agenda.

Prioritizing the wrong activities - 
Busy work. It's quite literally work that keeps you busy; it saps your time, but gets you no closer to your end goal. Ineffective people tend not to recognize busy work, and therefore, they prioritize tasks that will not move them any closer to their goals. Effective people recognize busy work for what it is and waste little to no time trying to appear busy when they know there are more important tasks to be completed.

Relying on multi-tasking to "save time" -
Multi-tasking is a scam. Being able to walk and chew gum at the same time may be the only true form of multi-tasking worth doing. Ineffective people use multi-tasking to appear busy, or to fool themselves into believing they can reach their goal faster by making minor progress on a lot of things at once. Effective people have a secret weapon to saving time. Focus. Effective people know which tasks are important for reaching their goal, and they focus on each one after another.
