1. Got to the @anywhere site and sign up
2. Enter all the details for your site
3. Take the first line of code the site will give you. It looks like
   <script src="http://platform.twitter.com/anywhere.js?id=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&v=1"></script>
   and add it into the head of your site.
4. Directly underneath that, paste this code:
   <script type="text/javascript">
twttr.anywhere(function(twitter) {
twitter("a.link-class").hovercards({
username: function(node) {
return node.title;
}
});
});
</script>
5. Change link-class in the above to the actual class name of the anchor you want to use a hovercard with.
6. In the HTML for the anchor add title="@username" and change ‘username’ to your Twitter screen name.
7. You’re done.

I don’t have much else to say on the subject, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Nonimage will not be accepting any new work. I’ve got my hands full from now till the change with some great projects.

Thank you to all my clients, past and present. It’s been a blast.

I really have no idea what this is. It may just be a portfolio piece, but it’s lovely.

• Pictory has a new ‘issue’ out called Coming Home, and it’s my favourite one yet. Pictory specialises in user submitted photos with short stories attached. I love photography focussing on the small, seemingly mundane things in life, and this set seems to capture that perfectly.
• Michael Deal has produced some great infographics, Charting the Beatles. It’s stunning, nerdy, and fascinating. (via the wonderful Information is Beautiful)
• Jon Hicks explains Why You Can Never Work ‘Full Time’ as a freelancer. This is something that is not mentioned nearly enough to new freelancers. I really wish someone had explained this to me better when I started.
• Fellow RefreshEdinburgh member John Sutherland explains how to register an International Domain Name (a domain using unicode characters). From this article I managed to register ʎpuɐ.com at the weekend (I haven’t pointed it at anything yet).
• The Feltron 2009 Annual Report, released this week, is as fine a piece of infographic design as the previous years Annual Reports. Take some time to browse it.
• Create quick, simple website wireframes online. This could be very, very handy.
• I bought a new camera this week. It’s a Panasonic GF1 and I love it so far (some photos on Flickr). The decision was basically made by this amazing article/field test/review.

I went to see Up In The Air last week. I enjoyed it, but what blew me away was the opening credits sequence by Shadowplay.

Just watch it. Then watch it again, knowing it’s all computer generated.
