CSS3 Generator
29 July 2010
A Swiss Army knife CSS3 vendor-prefix + generic rule generator.
My gut says this was a terrible idea for both companies. GameStop doesn’t know how to run an online community, and Kongregate doesn’t know how to be corporate.
Raise your hand if you are surprised. Looks like the only ones with their hands up are the Times management.
This is good news, and a big step in getting consumers rights back over the things they own. Here is the full ruling (via Gruber). Ars Technica has a more non-lawyer-friendly rundown of the changes.
A heck of a demo to start off your monday morning. Comes in an LGPL 3 package of C++ and JS code.
A pretty incredible implementation of tabs for Firefox, which mimics the good parts of Exposé and Spaces on OS X. The kicker: It’s twitter entirely in HTML, CSS and JS.

Title sequences from a number of classic low-budget Corman-produced films, here. It’s a shame Julian probably got scale (or less) for these.
As described by Jeremiah Grossman, this is pretty nasty. See the proof-of-concept demo here, and be creeped out. (via Shawn Medero)
This is a useful tool that belongs in every web developer’s utility belt. Color-blindness affects up to 8% of the male population (ladies are safer, only 0.5% are color-blind). Any usability test document that doesn’t test for color-blindness isn’t very good.
Spoiler: They’re all bullshit and have wildly wrong numbers.
Enables some of the most useful CSS3 features for IE6-8, such as border-radius, box-shadow, and linear-gradient. This will save me hours every week.
Remember, folks: Real artists ship. This is another example of the huge disconnect between those who create for a living and those who don’t.
A modification of Sonic The Hedgehog in which the rings are now fried food. Sonic eats them and gets fat. Eventually he gets so fat he can no longer move. I’m waiting for Sonic XL2: The Hoveround.
Very cool graphs with data collected from Valve’s opt-in hardware stats software.
Double Fine is my favorite North American game studio, and it is gratifying to see them branch out like this. For a company whose output over the last decade has been 2 big-budget games, this will be a great exercise.
A tiny bit of good news on a dreary day:
A United States appeals court tossed out the indecency policy of the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday, calling it a violation of the First Amendment.
Let’s hope we can make it stick.
