Saw this video yesterday on YouTube and wanted to pass it along.  What I like most about this is the amount of thought, consideration, and effort given to the User Experience (aka UX design) for just the tab functionality alone.  I also love the idea of application tabs and how they will function different from document tabs.

Of course I realize that I geek out on this stuff way more than most.  But, between RWD & my day job as an IT Applications Manager, I spend an enormous amount of time in various browsers.  As more and more enterprise & personal applications are added to the web, our time spent there will obviously continue to increase.  Browser functionality and the User Experience will continue to evolve and there are likely features that don’t yet exist today that 5 years from now we won’t fathom living without… think tabbed browsers.  The browser makers (Mozilla, Opera, MSoft, Apple & Google) are in an all out war & like everything else, the competition brings big change & benefits to you and me.

Matt Cordier Launch Day!

Monday, May 10th, 2010

A long time ago (2 years-ish)… in a galaxy far far away (Oregon)… Matt and I decided that some day we should collaborate on a complete redesign of his website.  Collaborate we did, and early in 2010, we decided it was time to make this a reality.

I am excited today to officially launch Matt’s newest website, www.mattcordier.com.  Matt and I worked many many hours over the past few months on this site and dare I say we are both quite pleased with the final result.  Over the coming weeks I will undoubtedly write blog posts about various particular techy functions on the site, but for now, for today, let’s just let the website do the talking.

It’s worth noting that while the website is ready for your eyes and ears, come back often as Matt and I still have plans and work ahead of us to add more audio, video, & other content… not to mention Matt’s blog posts on his site too.

Thanks Matt, It has been great working with you.
