Fold It | Pen & Think
"Using a special PNG as a mask for an img element with a background-image property, you can turn flat-looking static maps into nifty skeuomorph-ized paper objects."

The Death Of The Blog Post - Smashing Magazine
"Why has this trend of melding blog post and magazine article, the 'blogazine,' not caught on with the masses?" Probably because it takes an awful amount of work; I can't even make a coherent comment at this point on an article, preferring to link to a post. Consider how long it'd take if I had to design containers too...

aanand's cmon at master | GitHub
"cmon is an HTML preprocessor that adds powerful layout capabilities to your markup. With cmon, you can engineer solid, cross-browser layouts that in CSS would require hours of writing and debugging browser-specific behaviour.

Unwebbable | A List Apart
'Electronic commerce, we eventually figured out, does not take the form of “shopping malls” you “walk” through. “Magazines” and “catalogues” do not have discrete pages you flip (complete with sound effects) and dog-ear. “Web sites” do not look like magazine layouts, complete with multicolumn text and callouts.' An interesting post on moving things to the web.

Walls Come Tumbling Down | For A Beautiful Web
"It's time to stop showing clients static design visuals" Damn right. All my personal projects have been designed along with the backend code, and they're of variable prettiness, but at least they work. I'm finding the more traditional model much, much harder to deal with these days.

Machine tag browsing | Adactio: Journal
A nice way of displaying machine tags, including reclaiming HTML tables (and with a nod to the Flickr machine tag browser; thanks). I'm not sure if I could make this work for the Flickr version; there are possibly too many namespaces. Still, maybe I'll try for the most popular ones.

Font-weight is still broken | Clagnut
The article title goes on to say "except in one browser", but then that's pretty much broken, if you ask me. It's annoying; this is a CSS 1 property, and it really should be supported.

Web Inspector Redesign | Surfin’ Safari
The Safari built-in equivalent to Firebug gets more tweaks. The editable style rules, metrics and properties look good, as does the ability to search by CSS selectors. Looking forward to an official Safari 4 release (or indeed a new ADC beta). (It'd be nice to see in Chrome too...)

How to get Cross Browser Compatibility | Anthony Short
Looks like a reasonable list, but I completely disagree on the text-shadow bit- Safari knows what it's doing and the "fix" makes it look awfully spindly. Still, will be referred to.

Avoid orphans by dynamically replacing the last space in a sentence with &nbsp; (although I'm wondering if using CSS and white-space: nowrap might not be nicer).

Web Inspector Update | Surfin’ Safari
Every time they update this it gets better. CSS editing and SQLite local database inspection? Yes please. It's now getting to the point where a comparison with Firebug has both with missing features.

Subtraction: Oh Yeeaahh!
"designing for the Web with the typographic grid as my primary layout tool" I think of grids as being both horizontal and vertical, hence my annoyance with the ALA article title. This didn't feel right for me, but it's a good article.
