Finally an accessible way to render text within your designs with out having to use flash/images with alt tags or JS with descriptors.

Cufon is a way to “render” your text on screen giving you cleaner looking fonts – i have put together a working example here

I wouldn’t use this with p tags or anything below a H2 as it isn’t selectable.

For the development Sydney New Year’s Eve web site they wanted the abiliity to be able to add alearts to the site via multiple entry points (web, sms, web phone).

With limited time and no budget also i really didn’t want to build something from scratch (more so why would you?) i took twitter and turned it into an alert system which any one with a mobile phone and acocunt passwords could update.

All i did was repurpose a Twitter widget so that it would do exactly that – see screen shots to the right. The only catch is that the twitter account must be clear unless the alert will appear.  So if an alert was needed to be sent out you would have to log in and delete the alert afterwards.

Every lost your phone contacts? When i first got my Iphone – somehow I managed to wipe the sim card clean…   Instead of manually entering all the contact details  i built a contact form which out-puts an  xml file. This file is easily manageable/editable and quickly able to be imported into my iphone via Gmail contacts.
