Speaking of one-stop CSS web apps, Jacob Bijani created his own for generating border-radius rules. Using border-radius can get tricky if all four corners are not the same, as Mozilla is the only browser that breaks the recommended spec.

Find this helpful tool at one of four domains: http://border-radius.com/, http://borderradius.com/, http://css-border-radius.com/ or http://cssborderradius.com/.

Primer is a useful web app that allows you to paste in HTML and get the appropriate CSS selectors. My workflow looks like this:

  1. Design in PhotoShop.
  2. Write semantic HTML.
  3. Copy and paste HTML into Primer.
  4. Get CSS selectors and begin styling.

Double Dribble (NES)

Kevin Hutchinson and I used to tear it up. I can still hear the announcer’s voice everytime I did, as we then called it, a “slamma jamma.”

The Panic Status Board - one of the things I’ve been working on lately. Read Cabel’s writeup!

This is a thing of pure beauty. We’re already seeing how we can do something similar at Ext.

Neven has a nack for making beautiful things that inspire/make me want to lick them.

Interestingly, in Canadia they call it “French Toast Crunch.” That’d never fly in the Land of the Free.

I wrote and illustrated a short story when I was in 6th grade called “The Beatnik and The Bean”. My friends and I were on a bit of a kick where we thought scat and bebop words were funny. This cartoon by Dan Meth looks almost exactly like my beatnik, though I have no idea where I got my inspiration. If I can find it, I’ll scan it and post it.

What Happens When You Unplug from Your Internet Addiction?

Brittany Ancell restricts her Internet use to working hours only for two weeks:

“While I was constantly searching for ways to become more efficient at work, I was idling away my free time with trivial eBay pursuits and constant email monitoring.”
