Drupal as base system for Mobile

This is an interesting video — demonstrating how drupal can be used as the base system for iPhone/iPad/Android using Appcelerator Titanium — even if it’s painful to listen to the ‘I Got Drupal’ music video… The conference session can be found here from April 2010.

Flash Catalyst intro

A few good videos by Doug Winnie showing the steps from inception, wireframing to handing off the UI to a developer.

Snow Stack

Really cool 3d interface for those blessed with a Mac, Snow Leopard and the latest Safari – all done via CSS and javascript… More info can be found here.
