Creating Sexy Stylesheets

10 tips to remember when creating CSS, Jina Bolton:

While CSS can be used to create sexy websites, writing CSS can actually be an artform by itself. The way in which CSS is created, structured, and maintained can be a thing of beauty.

My man HML brings back the timeless memories:

I wish to find once more those days of old,
The moon rising to the top of the areca palms,
By the storm lamp mother sat sewing,
While father read his daily paper.
The streets were deserted,
And in the dry stillness of the night,
I could hear the faint whistle of the train.

Usability is Not a Verb

Scott Berkun:

The talkers, the report writers, the complainers, the finger pointers, those are the people to avoid: they’ll be doing those things forever. It’s people comfortable with the positive verbs, doing, asking, learning, risking, reaching, who make change, if it’s going to happen at all, possible.

Like they say: Action speaks louder than words.

Pimp C is Dead

TMZ:

Pimp C, real name Chad Butler — and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.

What a tragedy.

Takeover

TBrown:

25 sites in 5 years? I can divide.
That’s one every, let’s say 2.4 (months),
half of them sh*ts was due.
They were all Illmatic.
That’s a 50 hot website every 10 year average.

Thanks for a good laugh.
