Fitbit Force is a well received update from the previous model, the Flex. But is it the wearable device I needed? After almost three months of use I am ready to express my thoughts and they are not all full of praise. It's a great device, but it has its share of compromises making you reconsider its full-time place on your wrist.
Medium: personal blogging just got sexier
It was not simple for me to decide to launch this blog or to continue to stay still in my corner. I had to cover a lot of things I didn't notice or be fully aware of at start - such as domain, hosting, platform or what will I actually want to write about and trust me - to write (good) stuff on the web, it's no easy task. Luckily, now, there are a lot of tools to help you get a glimpse of how blogging can impact the community, before you decide to go all the way. Today, I will talk about Medium and why it sets such a great example.
Smashing Book #4 Review
I've been a fan of Smashing Magazine since I've discovered them back in 2007. From that day until now I've kept a close eye on their progress and enjoyed every resource they made available. I even tried little by little to contribute to their mission: designed calendar wallpapers, contributed to the Smashing Community poster, expressed my opinions for the Smashing Usability Panel and many more. But the one thing I appreciate the most is the fact that the SM team knows how to give back to the community that supports them. Entering the stage is the Smashing Book - a collection of ideas, opinions and practices tailored to make us embrace design and remind us why we do the things we do. Smashing Book #4 was launched, I bought it and now... I'm going to review it.
