   I wonder how they came up with a price tag for this. Anyone know how much it costs?

   Feel unsure of whether your emails seems professional? Maybe you should read this really brief article... Most of you probably don't need to read this, but seeing as it's so short and sweet; it probably won't do any harm. It seems as someon

   Here's my current desk: http://img.skitch.com/20100503-qshhe5rbqyh4jtxb8hgrp185n.jpg Made it look weird as an HDR to get both inside and outside showing well enough. It's a beaut spot, especially since there's a great left-hander visible

   When I was studying art, sometimes when I hit a block I'd choose to do what I thought I shouldn't do. It helped free me up a bit. Sometimes when things are going well it's nerve-racking - you could stuff it up. Making a small, intentional s

   That happened for a moment for me too in Chrome on OSX, but it switched back to normal after a few seconds. Weird.

   I can't really think of where I could use this without feeling like I was introducing some sort of usability flaw.

    Nice one. How about adding support for :focus alongside :hover?

    Easy enough to make it better, if you want to. It would be cool to see what can be done with CSS transitions upon open and close.

    Please do read "How to Get Things Done" by Robert Benchley, written in 1949. It's such a gem: http://www.hackvan.com/pub/stig/etext/how-to-get-things-done... There was a simliar thread to this quite a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.c

    "If you are a fan of HAML but forced to use standard HTML in your projects this plug-in might make you a bit happier." Sounds great to me.

    So that's it... I need to uninstall FontExplorer. I have been using Safari to view Github and other sites whose text turns into [A]-like characters. Very annoying.

    I bought one of these hats recently http://www.truffaux.com (I think it's the Snakeskin one.. nice and simple) and I'm very happy with it. Like subwindow says: don't wear it all the time. I just wear it every now and then. Sometimes I fee

    That blue used for backgrounds (i.e. the login box) is a bit too saturated and dark. Coupled with the dark blue text, they fail in colour contrast checks http://skitch.com/dylanfm/b6nj6/colour-contrast-analyser . I suggest knocking it bac

    This book is really good. I had read the Pickaxe before I picked this one up, so I'm not sure whether it's a good introductory book for Ruby. I haven't read Beginning Ruby either, so I can't compare. Nonetheless, if you're going to be worki
