…well, at least I found them interesting. Your mileage may vary.

• Typographer’s Glossary
  All you ever wanted to know about typography, and more. I really need to read through this in its entirety at some point.
• Using Modernizr…
  Modernizr is a javascript library that detects CSS and HTML5 functionality. Neat way to develop a page that doesn’t waste resources on things that won’t show up anyways.
• HTML5 Async Scripts
  I need to test this and see which browsers this helps on, but if speeding up sites is this easy, that is a win for everyone. (Or maybe I should have kept this a secret to make my skills in more demand…Meh – not my style.)
• How Cowbird Transforms Storytelling on the Web
  Never heard of cowbird before but they have a pretty cool presentation.
• No ‘pull-to-refresh’ in native iOS apps
  The pull-to-refresh function was patented by Tweetie, which was later purchased by Twitter. Hope they don’t go after indie developers with big lawyers!

If you use HTML5 elements, they work great in all major browsers. However, the styles on the new elements will be ignored by IE7 and IE8. (IE6 is dead to me.)

This is a pretty big deal since IE7 and IE8 have 3.2% and 10.7% of the browser marketshare (according to w3schools). Your site not rendering properly for 14% of your traffic is a significant problem.

However, this doesn’t mean that using HTML5 is not possible. Thanks to the HTML5 Shiv, very basic HTML5 now works in IE7 and IE8.

Now if only tables, transparent backgrounds and z-indexes worked on IE7 and IE8.
