The upgraded truck icon that comes with an FTP...
The Strake:
Panic has released a fantastic upgrade to one of the coolest (and most copied) icons ever. As a bonus, the icon comes bundled with an FTP client that is supposed to be pretty damn good.
Here is the “old” version:

HTML5 Arcade Games →
The [games] which you can download here is my personal dream … It is a set of libraries, tools and presets to create pixelated indie-style 8/16-bit era games in Javascript that runs in your browser without any Flash plugin, making use of a small small small subset of the HTML5 features, that are actually available on many modern browsers.

Creating a Realistic Looking Button with CSS3 →
Jay Air has a terrific write-up about CSS3 buttons. He goes in depth to show you what he’s doing and why. These are beautiful buttons—less flashy and more realistic than these “super awesome buttons”.
