- Godbit Project: Another LogoMaid Knock-Off ★
-
What’s funny is that the LogoMaid artist completely missed what’s clever about the original Godbit logo, that the green part forms a “G” and the whitespace forms a “b”.

- Waffle: Now in Glorious HTML5 ★

Jesper on HTML5:
HTML5 has ditched everything terrifyingly deprecated, kept the rest, and introduced new elements that are truly useful and truly usable.
Examples of those items include
<section>,<article>, the tag-team tag team<header>and<footer>,<nav>and<dialog>, which utilizes<dt>and<dd>pairs previously seen only in<dl>(definition lists) to finally standardize written dialog.I started serving some of Daring Fireball’s pages (including the front page and article archives) marked-up in a simple subset of HTML5 last week. All I had to do (mostly) was change the DOCTYPE declaration and remove some needless metadata cruft from the
<html>and<meta>tags. - InfoWorld, We Hardly Knew Ye ★

- Compassionate Commercialism ★
-
Interesting op-ed piece by Daniel Gilbert in The Times:
Should we now get used to commercial tricks that play on our humanity? How would we feel about a device planted in trash bins that screams “I’m stuck!” until the lid is opened, at which point it continues, “Stuck in a dead end job, that is — and if you are too, then let us show you how to make millions in real estate with no money down”? Is it O.K. to send a thousand doleful puppies into the streets with tags that say: “Thanks for checking. And speaking of checking, our bank charges no monthly fees”?
