Wilson Miner: Not the biggest fan of green but what makes this site interesting is that it uses a new CSS3 feature - RGBA colours. A = alpha. Not only that but the grid is awesome! A definite homage to good ole Josef Müller Brockmann (via simplebits)

Goodbye, Mary*.  A viral campaign taking the piss out of viral campaigns.  Sadly this is very smart and rather funny. (via swissmiss)

“If you’re not into the idea of your domain being indexed and archived somewhere at the National Library, I suggest a cunning rewrite rule to steer the indexing bot away…The Redirect heads off to youtube, and our friend Rick Astley”

“Observing these tests was more than a bit frustrating for the Yahoo! OpenID team, and the test subjects may have been distracted by the sounds of the groans and head-pounding coming from the other side of the one-way mirror. Certainly there is a lot of work to be done on the OpenID UX (user experience) front.”

- Yahoo! Releases OpenID Research. And it’s exactly what you’d expect.  Your average Yahoo! user has no fucken idea what OpenID is nor how to use it.  There is still a large amount to do on OpenID UX.

“A recession means technologists cease to be paid vast amounts to duplicate the work of others. The Great Tech Bust of Ought Two gave us 37Signals, Flickr, and del.icio.us and there’s a strong argument to be made that many companies spent the next six years chasing what they created.”

- Nat Torkington weighs on the Effect of the Depression on Technology
