The New QE Pool, ready to go.

Ah, the QE Pool. Used to be hidden up in the valley, just north of Saskatchewan Drive and 105 street. This pic is of the new incarnation of the pool, located in Kinsmen park, next door to the Kinsmen Rec Center.

The photo of the guy sporting a Batman symbol carved from his chest hair is especially disturbing.

Sewing poems in clothes is a way of bringing poetry to everyday life just by displacing it, by removing it from a paper to integrate it and fuse it with our lives. Sometimes little details are stronger when they are separated from where they are expected to be[…]

A pleasing idea for the poets among us.

Nice chunk of code that includes a reset and some client-specific fixes. Worth checking out if you’re in the email construction game.

A nice range of weights and some sweet little touches like ligatures and text figures. Pretty pricey, but hey, awesome costs.

Also good advice on using media queries in general – start with a linearized layout and use media queries to optimize the layout for wider windows.

What really bugs me about this story is the litany of nay sayers in the comments. Nothing new for a news site, but the constancy of shrill, reactionary comments is wearing thin.

I like the idea of casting off the expected canon in favour of one more personal. I’ll keep an eye out for this.
