Anyone that knows me knows I'm a complete soccer hooligan. The upcoming World Cup has me more excited than a 4 year old at Disneyland. That's why I was so pleasantly happy to see Google do something really creative when you search for "World Cup":
Clearly Google knows the importance of the World Cup. And for that...I will always use Google.
Chances are that any Web designers using our Ghostlab browser testing app, which allows seamless testing across all devices simultaneously, will have worked with responsive design in some shape or form. And as today's websites and devices become ever more varied, a plethora of responsive images...
I remember the early days of JavaScript where you needed a simple function for just about everything because the browser vendors implemented features differently, and not just edge features, basic features, like addEventListener and attachEvent. Times have changed but there are still a few functions each developer should...
The lightbox is probably one of my favorite parts of the Web 2.0 revolution. No more having to open new windows (which can bog down your computer quite a bit) to see a larger image, video, etc. Instead, the item loads right into the...
While I'm not a huge sIFR advocate I can understand its allure. A customer recently asked us to implement sIFR on their website but I ran into a problem: the sIFR headings wouldn't print because they were Flash objects. Here's how to fix...
That’s awesome, nice find
WOW that’s Very Good!
Thanks David.
nice David! ur not the only hooligan ;)
Very nice David. One point: The game’s called football, not soccer.
cool!
i hope to see many goals from Villa, no doubt, this is our year.
Greetings from spain
@Yannick: being an american too, i find that I fall into this quite often. I do try to say football instead of soccer and American football instead of just football, but sometimes many years of growing up in the states (and the south specifically where football/soccer is an alien concept in many places and American football is a way of life) it gets hard to remember that others on the internet may actually not use the same terms.
i said all that for two purposes:1) to repent for calling it soccer on occasion and 2) to defend David for a Freudian slip.
If we’re being pedantic, football hooligans are unpleasant people more interested in destroying things and beating people up than the game of football. This is not the David I know.
Btw, many of the schools here are letting kids out early on Friday so they can get home/wherever in time for the first game, which kicks off at 3pm local time. /That/ my friends is what it means to be a footballing nation :)
I got…a few…jerseys to celebrate my fanhood:

I’m in SA and i can tell u that the excitement has reached fever pitch. Nice to see Google and the world celebrating.
What, no french jersey ? shame on you :D
Here’s a nice calendar http://www.marca.com/deporte/futbol/mundial/sudafrica-2010/calendario-english.html
My productivity will drop for sure. Come on, games at 13:30 and 16:00 here, they’re killing me !
“I got…a few…jerseys to celebrate my fanhood: …”
I’ve just checked it out. A FEW? Hahaha, you are really a “soccer hooligan”, ain’t you?
lol @ the pic, david you need to move to eu man! nothing like going to watch a live game even if its at Anfield
Great catch David. Here in Brazil it shows Goooooooooooool (without the “a”) as expected. I’m rooting for a more offensive and creative footbal on this Wold Cup, so for now it’s either Spain or Holland :) Cheers.
This is a very good idea… Google!!!
Absolute bunch of nerds getting phrases wrong. I wouldve thought that you would have called the ‘World Cup’, ‘Soccer World Series’ instead.
Hahaha Google being creative… again :) I also love how Google changes it’s logo for various events.
Gee, I was talking about Spain and Holland one month ago… if only I had put some money on that :)
