Insane CSS3 candy buttons by simurai:


  There was a goal: Create CSS buttons that are sexy looking, really flexible, but with the most minimalistic markup as possible.


I want to eat them. Would you believe they’re each just a single <a> element?

☛ Creating ePub files with Pages

With iWork 9.0.4, Pages becomes a DIY publishing tool for iBooks:

Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.

When your masterpiece is done, submit it directly to the iBookstore via iTunes Connect.

Boom.


Update: Distribution currently requires syncing with iTunes; neither Safari nor Mail on iOS 3.2 or 4.0 recognize ePub files or let you add them to the iBooks library. I’m sure this will be addressed once Pages for iPad can also export ePubs.

“Consumption only” etc.

The body element is already a wrapper. It can have a height, width, border, drop-shadow; you name it.

This is what you learn hacking together Tumblr themes instead of writing about science.

Alkali flies and brine shrimp rule hypersaline Mono Lake, once described by Mark Twain as &#8220;the loneliest place on earth&#8221;—totally adding this one to the inevitable west coast road trip.

Leave out the fiction;
The fact is, this friction
Will only be worn by persistence

Leave out conditions;
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence
My favourite Rush song, “Vital Signs,” which may or may not be about a synthesizer.

Let&#8217;s start a new life with iDish:


  It was the time, when I was eating sashimi at a bar, fiddling with my iPad.
  
  A slice of Tuna accidentally dropped on the iPad.
  
  At that time, I hurriedly got rid of the sashimi, wiped it off,
  
  Later I found that suddenly. In the first place,
  
  If iPad were a dish, there are no problem
