Fontdeck Blog: Hyphenation arrives in Firefox and... →
This is such great news! fontdeck: Pretty much the only forms of Western literature that don’t use hyphenation are children’s books and websites. Until now. Yesterday’s release of Firefox 6 and last month’s release of Safari 5.1 on OS X Lion mean that two browsers now support CSS 3 hyphenation. Turning on hyphenation is…

jQuery Mobile First Look
The good folks at Packt Publishing are sending me a copy of jQuery Mobile First Look to read and hopefully eventually review. I’m stoked they asked because I really need to improve my knowledge of mobile app development. Hopefully the content is not too far above my current skill level, we shall see.

Lost Type Co-op →
Lost Type is a font foundry with a different spin. They have some really great looking fonts on a “pay what you want” cost basis. So you can pay $0, or as much as you think the font is worth. 100% of the sales go directly to the designer of the font. It’s a cool idea, that I hope takes off for these guys.

Awkward Showcase - jQuery Content Slider
Awkward Showcase - jQuery Content Slider I try to bookmark a lot of these jQuery sliders for future use. There are plenty of options out there, but this one looks exceptional. I’ve yet to try it out, but I love all the configuration options. Tooltips, thumbnails and dynamic height are all things I get asked to include with sliders often. I didn’t see the file size, so hopefully...

GuideGuide Photoshop Plugin
GuideGuide is a super handy photoshop extension that adds a new panel so you can specify guides based on totals and gutter widths. If you’ve ever laid down some guides in photoshop for a grid you know first hand how painfully tedious that process can be. Sure, you can create a bunch of templates for future use, but you still have to take the time up front. Trust me, if you are grid...

Adapt.js takes a slightly different approach. Here’s how it’s described: Adapt.js is a lightweight (947 bytes minified) JavaScript file that determines which CSS file to load before the browser...

Logo Process for AWS Consultancy by Graham Smith
I must admit every time I read one of Graham Smith’s logo design posts I am forced to reevaluate my own work and usually come out feeling lazy and less than adequate. But I love reading them over. It challenges me and inspires me to do better. His latest post was on the logo process for AWS Consultancy. The logo, as usual is awesome, thoughtful and flexible.

I love the Ideas of March movement that was started by Chris Shiflett. I’m guilty of moving just about all of my online conversations to Twitter and Facebook. And although I love the simplicity and interaction I get there, especially Twitter, I miss the authentic and personal connection that blogging provides. That’s why Trent’s metaphors for blogging and microblogging are so...
