There were two days of Codebar workshopping on the weekend as part of the Brighton Digital Festival. Cassie talked people through this terrific CSS animation tutorial, making this nifty Brighton-based piece.
Well, this is simply delightful.
119 slides from Sarah on a wide range of SVG magic (with code).

This post was written by James Craig, and I’m going to take this opportunity to say a big “thank you!” to James for all the amazing accessibility work he has been doing at Apple through the years. The guy’s a goddamn hero!

Matt is wearing his musical heart on the sleeve of the web.
Unqualified and unabashedly personal remarks on those bits of sound that make it all worthwhile.
A beautiful call to arms against engineerism in design. Software cries out for love.
There appears to be a form of synesthesia where people "hear" motion. Watch this video (repeatedly) to test your own sensory perception.
Blogging can be hard. Here's some free relief. Sure, it's a shameless commercial promotion but it's kind of cute.
A nice piece of UI design. I think Kathy Sierra would like this.
Reznor had stepped into a new kind of interactive fiction, one where players don't just passively consume the story.
