I came across some work by Simon Page after rooting around Dropular but when I saw these posters I was absolutely blown away. Simon started out doing these posters as a personal project but when the International Year of Astronomy folks saw them the decided to use them as promotional pieces.

Although this is an absolutely free trial, Safari Books Online does require that you enter credit card information for security purposes. We will authenticate your card at the beginning of your trial period to determine if the card number is valid. We do this by issuing a "dummy" $1 charge. This charge is never actually applied to your credit card because it disappears as soon as we verify the authenticity of the card. Occasionally, depending on how your bank or credit card issuer handles these types of tests, customers may see this charge in their account, but it always drops off. If your free trial period ends and you have not cancelled your account, you are authorizing us to automatically charge your card the monthly fee (plus any applicable taxes) for the subscription type you have chosen.

# There are meaningful “entry points” into the app - URIs. (No, I’m not going to mention the R-word.) It’s simply entirely unacceptable for a Web app to expose only a single URI, break the “Back” button, and disallow linking. Frameworks that don’t support URIs for application concepts, such as every customer, order, contact report, document etc. should simply be banned.

# Application boundaries are a concern to developers, not users. The Web is about linking stuff together, without any concern about application boundaries. There’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t be able to follow a link in your CRM application that takes you to a product page in your online catalog, or from a customer record to the information about when they last logged in to the Web site, or from a page that’s part of a complex business process UI to the appropriate documentation and on to the discussion group where you can tell everybody how much it sucks.

# Documents are accessible in a standard way. The idea of accessing any kind of document, such as an insurance application form that’s been scanned in, a letter sent to a business partner last year, or a contract with a business partner, by any other means than an HTTP GET is just stupid.

I firmly and absolutely believe in choice for users and the creation of competitive markets and ecosystems. Users and providers should not be limited to a proprietary framework or any single source.

Site owners can choose to use the X-UA-Compatible tag to be absolutely declarative about how they’d like their site to display and to map Standards mode pages to IE7 Standards. Use of the X-UA-Compatible tag overrides Compatibility View on the client.

Here are a selection of 25 of the best my little pony mods we could find. Some of them are absolutely amazing and a real testament to their craft. Our favourite is the hans solo in carbonite (23).

We absolutely need some standards. I think this will occur mostly through user adoption of something over something else. If we try to force a standard through meetings, committees, conferences, consortiums, etc. I think we will end up with something top heavy and handicapped.

So there you go: an interactive slider you absolutely cannot get in Photoshop, or anywhere else for that matter.
