Transformers 2 (2009) Mini-Review

    00:40 on June 28, 2009 ,

Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.

As a special team of military units and transforming alien Autobots hunt down remaining evil Decepticons on Earth, Sam Witwicky — now on his way to college — finds a shard of the robo-life-giving Allspark.

Like Tabs In the Rain: How Safari 4s Tabs-On-Top Could Have Worked

    21:45 on June 10, 2009 , , , , , ,

It seems the general reaction to Apple pulling out their Safari 4 Beta “tabs on top” feature has been generally positive. The sentiment seems to indicate the feature to be so inferior to the workaday solution of having tabs below the address-bar, that tabs-on-top shouldn’t even be optional for those of use who understand their [...]

What is HTML5, really? Well, right now, reading this, you’re probably looking at XHTML1 or HTML4. So to explain: HTML5 is the next big thing for the web. Because HTML5 is one more. Or 4 more, if you’re using XHTML. But wait, there’s more! HTML 5 has a whole lot of things to offer — [...]

The Questionable Legality Of Web Fonts

    22:30 on June 2, 2009 ,

Font options for webdesigners are increasing these days. There’s the imminent release of Firefox 3.5, which hails the arrival of embeddable fonts of your choice. There’s Typekit, a tool to ease the addition of the former (and some more). There’s sIFR, the so-far most adopted choice, and there’s also Cufon, a novel approach to the [...]
