Today our Russian football team is going to play its first match in the Euro 2008. We truly hope that our guys will win! By the way, our friends from Thematic Media have recently launched a social utility for football fans called Dribbler. Almost all graphics for this project was created by our precious hands, which makes us very proud.
Some time ago we paid a social visit to the office of SUP — the company famous for managing and developing the fabled LiveJournal. The office is unique for being located in penthouse of a tower building and the view from its windows on Moscow is just awesome. Pictures, as always, are available for your viewing pleasure at Turbomilkr.
We have recently come back from ReMix the web developers’ conference. Thankfully in one piece, safe and sound. We also managed to cram all the exciting images into our Turboflickr. Steve Balmer happened to be an extremely energetic man and told us very interesting stuff about out bright digital future. BTW, I managed to be one of those lucky whose questions had been posed to Steven in public. My question was about the interfaces. Check out the photo proof.
I have dreamt for so long to visit the Hall of Columns at the House of Trade Union in Moscow, do the tough guy catwalk on the red carpet, and gaze at the magnificent chandeliers. Besides, meeting Steve Balmer in person would not be an unpleasant experience, however a bit frightening. The dreams come true. We are going to REMIX’08!
Pretty cool article on icon design by Sean Hodge "7 Principles of Effective Icon Design". Also we like the design of PSDTuts where article is posted.
Starting with today the number of Turbomilkers is a two-digit figure! The staff of our modest company (but with intergalactic ambitions) reached ten! It means that during the last two years the company grew twofold. What does that really mean? It means that more cool icons, fancy interfaces and smart posts are coming out anytime soon!
Two month ago I wrote about my experience with GTDInbox. Now it is my pleasure to announce that Andy Mitchell has released GTDInbox 2.0!
When I wrote the article 10 mistakes in icon design, I did not expect it would arouse so much interest. Clearly, who would want to read about icons?! But I was wrong. Visitor statistics that usually make for somewhat dry and boring reading suddenly erupted: 93,386 visitors in a day!
Fish, Giant Panda, Flame, Tibetan Antelope and Swallow are the heroes of our new free set of icons. No, we have not gone mad. These are the mascots of the Olympic Games, to be held in Beijing this summer. And also these characters represent the five Olympic Rings, hence their corresponding coloring.
Dear clients and friends!
We are happy to inform you on our working schedule over the season of holidays. Our office closes December 29 to reopen January 9 next year. We will be anxiously waiting until after the holidays for you precious orders and correspondence!
Alex Faaborg lifted the veil of mystery from Firefox 3's icons. Hmmm… Do you like them?
Our life in TurboMilk is looking like ceaseless festival. We all are in holiday mood. But today we have yet another cause for joy and exultation! Happy birthday, Olesya!
TurboMilk congratulates cheerfully one of it's knock-out fathers. Happy birthday, dear Denis!
Friday means it's time for plobb! — Friday amazing game. My personal record is 50200.
We are happy to announce that December 1 marks the 5th anniversary of TurboMilk! By the way, do you notice anything new? Look around you. Yes! We got ourselves a new site! See how pretty it looks! It now hosts a nice little portfolio and the blog features a journal with snappy updates. All in all, life is great!
We have an awesome office and we’re proud of it. Location for example is the best possible — the centre of the city, the beautiful bank of Volga river. A way to work is just winsome. And the inside is good too — glassed walls, high ceiling, a giant window with sailing ships and Jiguly mountains behind it.
Designers have various dreams and wishes. For instance for so long we have cherished the idea of communicating with the likes to be able to share experience and brag about our new work not over the Web or thru emails but in real life.
In our rapidly moving age of blogs, social networks and hordes of web-two-O projects, RSS-channels come as an important tool of information syndication. They feed news, reviews and other updates travelling to us through the Web like hydrogen-powered launchers. Many of our readers are long-time subscribers to our convenient and contemporary RSS-feed.
