Tommy Hilfiger, ATG and Media Hive have been nominated for a 2010 RACIE Award!
Media-Hive is happy to announce the launch of the new Automoblox.com storefront. Built on Magento, an open source e-commerce solution by Varien, the new Automoblox site provides customers with the ability to purchase the premium toy cars for which Automoblox is known.
We’re a fast-moving creative + technical firm with an impressive client roster– and we’re looking for applicants with the skills and drive to help us develop simple and elegant interface solutions for a host of new and exciting projects.
Welcome to the refreshed design of the Media-Hive website. We’re not calling it a complete redesign since it retains the visual aesthetic of the previous design. But the layout and architecture of the site has been retooled to provide a more focused and organized site.
Media-Hive is excited to announce the relaunch of the Tommy Hilfiger USA ecommerce storefront. Tommy Hilfiger- one of the world’s most recognized premium lifestyle brands- and one of the largest designer apparel brands globally, looked to Media-Hive to deliver a fresh look for their storefront and a more efficient and reliable user experience.
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a big deal…maybe even a huge deal. In recent years, some would have you believe that RSS would be the next panacea of the internet. As the data exchange format to end all data exchange formats, it would be the future of everything we consume online- neatly wrapped as RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, etc.
JavaScript is only one actor in a much bigger performance. It plays a role, but is dependent upon it’s support cast (Style Sheets, HTML). The best JavaScript code will be useless when combined with poorly structured HTML and badly written CSS. Likewise, the most logically structured XHTML will perform badly if combined with poorly written JavaScript. All three elements need to pull together to make a well functioning and rich user interface.
Inline JavaScript.
All JavaScript should be contained within it’s own JavaScript file/files that should be included at the top of the user interface:
Bad:
<script type=”text/javascript”> /* Lines of JavaScript Code */ </script>
Good:
<script type=”text/javascript” href=”scripts.js”></script>
Inline JavaScript Function Calls:
Bad:

Good:
<a href=”something.jsp” id=”object1″ title=”some”>Link</a>
The good example has the onclick functionality added dynamically from the JavaScript, for example using code like:
addEvent(document.getElementById(’object1′), [...]

First Instinct Go Online – not so easy: I’m sure that WEP and WPA networks aren’t their #1 consumer priority, so I wasn’t surprised that networking was a little fudgey, but I look forward to some of it being cleaned up. I have yet to connect to any secure network (WEP at work doesn’t work, WEP Transitional at home through Apple Airport Extreme is well documented as a nightmare – yet I still can’t connect). Luckily I have my open meraki mesh network at home for this exact reason and was able to connect to that throttled but open connection with no issue.
What if we were to tell you that there was a way to grow a mustache, and help kids learn stuff- at the same time!?
You’d probably say “I don’t believe that’s possible”, and we’d say “No, it’s is possible…here just look at my face, under my nose. Isn’t it glorious?”, and [...]
