A Bucket of Links

• Breaking Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. A nice article on why, where and how it’s better to break the rules sometimes.
• System 7 was one of my favorite OS’es. (really, this is a link that illustrates a point from the above link, but I love the screenshots.)
• A Private View of the President. A nice photo essay. Who knew the president had an iPod?
• podSites was just launched by Russ Weakley and John Allsopp. It’s a pretty brilliant concept I think, and one you’ll see grow. The whole point here is revolving around iPod notes.
• Cliché Finder. Yes, they’re not all clichés, but the idea is sound. (via gammatron)
• Math Posters . Some really interesting ones here. I like it. (via gammatron)
• The Library of Congress has a bunch of old Civil War Maps online. I love maps. Maps are fun.
• CSS white-space needs a none declaration. He’s so right.
• Emulating Prototyping of DOM Objects in Internet Explorer. Seriously, with a title like that, do you really need an explanation?
• Hacking the Web with javascript.
• Photo fades that aren’t Flash. This effect has made the rounds before, I just hadn’t posted it. It’s nice, slick, and easy.
• Globally setting padding and margin. An interesting concept that started with Andrew Krespanis, and spawning a large conversation online. I use aspects of this idea. I just shy away from the global hammer-like affect of affecting every element.
• Unobtrusive Show/Hide behavoir in javascript. Nice, clean separated code, content and interaction.
• Accessible onchage javascript is brilliant. Just brilliant. If you use javascript, then check this out.
• An iceberg is getting ready to collide with a glacier. It’s an event so large that the best seat in the house is in freakin’ space.
• Evidence for Milky Way’s Long-Theorized Stellar Graveyard Found. I like the idea of an inter-stellar graveyard.
