Clark | Clark Floundering?

Sorry for the sporadic posting of late. I've been a little bogged down with javascript (which I know nothing about) at my home blog (which you should check out from time to time...shameless plug, I know). At any rate...I finally got it working so now I have that nifty little drop down extended entry thing that seems to be all the rage in the blogosphere these days.

At any rate, the biggest development over the last week or so has been the "stalling" Clark campaign. According to this CNN Article Clark has jumped from clear front runner to not so clear sort of runner-up. Of course, for those of you who read Poliblogger, Steven Taylor, on a regular basis, this comes as no  surprise.

Instapundit has also noticed Clark's trouble, pointing to William Saletan taking him to task over his tractability on Iraq. Glenn thinks this floundering could be a matter of Clark's character, not necessarily his campaigning.

I ultimately don't think its useful to speak of someone tied for front-runner as "floundering". The drop doesn't necessarily reflect mistakes on his part, but is probably just reflection (following Taylor here) that his newness has faded. There is still a lot of time left for mistakes to be made by any candidate, including Dean. Clark is certainly still a contender and things are just starting to get exciting.

It’s ‘Anyone but Bush’ the liberals don’t care. Let there best demo-wack jobs do their best and continue to ‘Flounder’ and make out right $%%es of themselves. It’s comedy, entertainment, and sure beats listening to CBS’s excuses and justifications for running the upcoming Anti-Ronald Reagan Miniseries.

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It’s time you realize …

Okay, I just told you what Apple wants you to look out for with window positions, but in the real world, not everyone uses the hiding feature of the Dock, and it is unrealistic to be able to predict where each user will place their Dock at any given day or how large they will have it. However, you can build a feature into your application that allows spacing for the Finder. You can give users the option of where to position their windows and what area of the screen not to cross. I know that BBEdit provides me with this feature, and I wish more developers gave me more control over my windows.

But limit your animations to whatever is required to communicate the necessary information. Avoid annoying animations that discourage ease of use. Ask yourself, “What do I need to show the user, and what is the cleanest way possible to achieve that?” A good example is the Mail application for Mac OS X. Whenever a new message arrives, the Dock icon changes appearance to indicate a changed state.

Not quite as entertaining as Shrek, but Dock animation can be an important and useful function in your application. For example, Dock animation is a helpful way to indicate the status of your application.
