Star Wars Text in HTML5 and CSS3

I’m really geeking out about the demo someone did for HTML5 and CSS3 using the intro to Star Wars. The text is live and I am loving it. The promise of the future of web design. A new hope. It only works in Safari 4. (via @zeldman)

I’m still amazed to this day how much history I learned from watching The Simpsons. And I didn’t even know I was learning historical facts until much later in life. (from the 50 Most Interesting Articles on Wikipedia via Neven Mrgan)

This is systemic to the Linux mindset I fear. Those users expect applications to be free and open. Additionally, the apps I used on Droid paled in comparison to the apps I use on my iPhone. Both in user interface design and usefulness. But many of those apps were free. I didn’t want to purchase any apps from the Android Market because what I was experiencing in the free-app market made me...

The Droid Experiment

For a while now, I’ve wanted to try a new mobile platform. The iPhone OS is great and there are many things to like about it. But I have been growing weary of the dropped calls and intermittent 3G connection on AT&T since the iPhone 3G was launched. While I feel there is a lot to like about the iPhone, there are areas that need improvement and the hardware was starting to get a little...

Cool hunting

jimray: It’s not just that the Ugg boots you overpaid for three years ago continue to look hideous. The reason any man of character instantly finds you unattractive when he sees you wearing those stupid, stupid things is that you’re saying to the world “I bought into a fashion promulgated by the most shallow our generation had to offer.” Hallelujah! I’m feeling this way about the new...

Droid Dilemma

I bought the Motorola Droid on Friday as a way to scratch the gadget itch I’ve had for a while. My plan was to take advantage of the “Worry-Free Guarantee” Verizon offers. At the time I bought it, I said I’d give it a chance to replace my iPhone but I really only gave it a 1% chance. After spending a weekend with the device I now feel like there’s a 10-to-15% chance. ...
