You Pimped My Firefox!

2 comments

According to its bling designers: "Pimpzilla is a theme for the browser Firefox. It's also probably the most tacky & overdone piece of GUI design out there, aimed solely for true internet-connaisseurs [sic]. If you are into fur and lot's [sic] of bling, this is the theme for you." The bejewelled Go button at the end of the location bar is especially sweet and check out those glistening golden scroll bars. There is absolutely no doubt that when Xzibit browses the web, he has Pimpzilla installed. Thanks to the always pimped out folks at Stylegala for the notice. Um, asked in a truly middle-of-the-winter-not-even-a-tan whitebread voice, "does this qualify as shiznizzle?"

I'm sorry to be off-topic Daniel however I feel important to let you know that Martha Stewart is out of prison and could be breaking into your car this very second...

If you really want to pimp it out, try Pinstripe Modern for WinXP & Linux. The theme brings the default MacOSX FF theme to the rest of us

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm the director of design with a startup called Tiny Speck and for several years I was the creative director at Digg. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.

This Blog

The technology that powers this blog was built by silverorange on their Swat open-source web application toolkit. I'm no longer working on day-to-day projects at silverorange, but they're available for hire if you're looking for top-notch interface design or web application development.
