Another well-written and insightful post from James Bennett on the ridiculous conflict that seems to spring up between designers and developers. Honestly, Bennett’s writing is so good, you should really just subscribe to him, NOW.

Minimal

I’m kinda digging the new design of James Bennet’s site with the minimal look. It almost makes me think I’m going in the wrong direction by trying to go bigger and more multimedia on my site. That being said, I tend to think these minimal extreme designs (while being more content focused) are actually more difficult for users to navigate without directions, so I’d probably need to find a sweet spot in the middle. However, Bennett’s minimal approach is wonderfully readable.

This is a great tutorial from Wilson Miner on generating charts and graphs in a standards-based manner. It’s a great reference, and one worth bookmarking to use as a reference later.

Sure, it’s a list post. However, there are some awesome examples of jQuery plugins here. Especially handy as the directory at the official jQuery site isn’t good at letting the plugins stick out to reader.

James Bennett makes a pretty convincing and practical argument against Microsoft’s proposed X-UA-Compatible as a means of triggering different rendering modes in Internet Explorer.
If you do any work on the web it is well worth a read.

“A better best practice for sizing type in CSS.”
Good web typography can be tricky and not being a designer I can use all the pointers I can get.
favicon.ico Generator

“favicon.cc is a tool to create or download favicon.ico icons, that get displayed in the address bar of every browser.” This is a clever app. I don’t know if I’ll use it, but I like that it is out there.
ThickBox 3

This is a really slick Lightbox-like solution designed for jQuery. It is ridiculously flexible and renders extremely fast on the page. Since I’m using jQuery for my new site anyway, it adds very little additional code to the site.
