Never Can Tell is a new iPhone application development company. As much as I’d love to take credit for the cool illustrations, "Alex Tyres":http://informationdesign.net.au designed and illustrated the “Never Can Tell” brand. I was responsible for coding the website, and because Never Can Tell is an iPhone development company, they wanted their website to not only be optimised for mobile Safari, but to include a few iPhone only “easter eggs”. Without giving too much away the easter egg takes advantage of css transformations and multi-touch, two unique aspects of the iPhone. I am particularly excited about css transformations, for the fact that you can create animations with concise code, and in the case of the iPhone the css transformations are "hardware accelerated":http://developer.apple.com/safari/articles/webcontent/cssrecipes.html Go to "nevercantell.com.au":http://nevercantell.com.au on your iPhone or iPod touch, and don’t say that I told you to try and flick the faces around. <p>Never Can Tell is a new iPhone application development company.</p> <p>As much as I’d love to take credit for the cool illustrations, <a href="http://informationdesign.net.au">Alex Tyres</a> designed and illustrated the “Never Can Tell” brand.

What makes this store different to most online stores is that most of Emperors Minds clients are on a special discount program with Apple, or Adobe.

This was the mr dougal website from 2002. I'd never make anything like this nowadays, although I thought i'd post this up for old times. It's all flash (shudder) and it (originally) launched in a popup window (shudder again). In many ways this is where my programming career started, as many hours where spent writing ActionScript drive the animations and transitions throughout the site. Can view it, in all it's <strike>six</strike> seven year old glory <a href="/uploaded/really-old-mr-dougal-website/flash.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I found the source for the site whilst clearing out some old zip drives at home, yes zip drives. <p>Disclaimer. <strong>This is really old</strong> in internet terms.</p> <p>This was the mr dougal website from 2002.
