The Well Groomed Male - Braun

I didn’t realize that “bodygrooming” was a thing for men. The photo of the guy sporting a Batman symbol carved from his chest hair is especially disturbing.

'Poetry bomber' targets charity shops - The Guardian

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 06:07:12 -0700

Argentinean artist Agustina Woodgate has been surreptitiously sewing excerpts of poems into garments at second hand stores in Miami.

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.

HTML Email Boilerplate

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

Interval Sans Pro on MyFonts

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

Windows mobile media queries - Adactio

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:04:59 -0700

Nice little tip for targeting Windows Mobile browsers. 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.

Downtown Edmonton site of new Museum - Edmonton Journal

Thu, 07 Apr 2011 03:04:14 -0700

A great, great thing for downtown Edmonton. 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.

Very cool, but how will games designed for a joystick and one button work on a touch interface? Guess I’ll have to download and see for myself.
