"HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site."

"those of us who work here should have sophisticated, native tools to do our jobs."

Amazing scalable layout from Jon Hicks.

A good read regardless of your thoughts on the show Glee.

Lightroom 3 is released.

Coda Notes Safari 5 extension proof of concept/demo from Panic.

Interesting defensive strategy.

I hope things turn around for Palm. I think webOS is one of the more interesting smart phone platforms out there and as an iPhone user I'd like to see it succeed.

"WebKit2 is a new API layer for WebKit designed from the ground up to support a split process model, where the web content (JavaScript, HTML, layout, etc) lives in a separate process from the application UI. This model is very similar to what Google Chrome offers, with the major difference being that we have built the process split model directly into the framework, allowing other clients of WebKit to use it."

"One day, high above Arizona , we were monitoring the radio traffic of all the mortal airplanes below us. First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers to check his ground speed. 'Ninety knots,' ATC replied. A twin Bonanza soon made the same request. 'One-twenty on the ground,' was the reply. To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio with a ground speed check. I knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit, but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley know what real speed was 'Dusty 52, we show you at 620 on the ground,' ATC responded. The situation was too ripe. I heard the click of Walter's mike button in the rear seat. In his most innocent voice, Walter startled the controller by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet, clearly above controlled airspace. In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied, ' Aspen 20, I show you at 1,982 knots on the ground.' We did not hear another transmis sion on that frequency all the way to the coast."

Awesome.

AT&T, can you hear Verizon now? (see what I did there?)

Flickr videos now available in HTML5.

Sony removes the ability to install Linux on older PS3 models.

Who doesn't love a good heist story?

This is excellent.

I have never wanted a feature out of my photo editing software more than I want this.

Having a Web browser that can't compete with those on the iPhone and Android, webOS (and probably Blackberry soon) is a really big problem for Windows Phone 7 Series.

Nice history of the Irish Dry Stout style of beer from George de Piro, brewmaster at the Albany Pump Station.

IE9 is shaping up quite nicely from this developer's perspective.

Tim Bray joins Google.

Nice Mac commitment from Valve. Hopefully this will encourage other developers on Steam to do the same.

My iPhone spends quite a lot of time in pockets. Maybe Apple has a patent on that...

Apple's actions here just reek.

"Enforcing patents isn't a good long-term play: it's the beginning of the end of the creative Apple we both love."

The Internet in numbers.

Good job Steve. In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. You stink! You are a senile bucktoothed old mummy with bony girl arms and you smell like an elephant's butt!

"Dusty blue “N”s lean against the wall behind the yellow remains of a department store sign. Nearby, some gleaming silver hints at DaimlerChrysler’s now defunct glory.

They're all part of Berlin's typographic past that Barbara Dechant and Anja Schulze have been gathering for years. Together, they're slowly preserving some of the city's best-loved and most unassuming lettering at the quirky Buchstabenmuseum."

Great to see companies like Google trying to push the Web forward.

"Monospace text sizing is, from time to time, completely unintuitive and can be quite maddening if you don’t look at it in exactly the right way. Fortunately, there is a pretty simple workaround, and it’s one you might want to consider using even if you weren’t aware that a problem existed."
