jQSlickWrap - Slick text wrapping for jQuery
by vrossign
To do this, it needs to have access to the individual pixels of the images it's operating on -- which is why for jQSlickWrap to work, you need to have a browser that supports HTML 5's new canvas element.
Here's an overview of the algorithm:
1. If necessary, pre-load the image.
2. Determine the CSS styles for the image (float and padding).
3. Create a canvas element and set its dimensions to the size of the image plus its padding.
4. Draw the image onto the canvas in the top-left location.
5. Figure out the "background" color of the image by examining the pixel data at the top-left corner of the image.
6. Fill the canvas with this background color.
Architecture éternelle du Japon | Architecture éternelle du Japon - Librairie FATON
by sbrothier
L’architecture japonaise est enchanteresse : harmonie entre jardins et bâtisses, élégance des styles, raffinement des décorations, perfection des détails… L’envoûtement s’opère à son apparente fragilité qui fait naître un sentiment d’impermanence. Le message délivré est saisissant : racontant l’éphémère, cette architecture nargue les siècles d’un éternel éclat.

Transitions CSS3 - Alsacréations
by srcmax
& 1 other
Beaucoup d'intégrateurs en ont rêvé : animer les pages web uniquement à l'aide de styles CSS, sans apport de JavaScript. Grâce aux dernières évolutions du langage et au module CSS3 Transitions, il est désormais possible de réaliser des transitions basiques à l'aide de CSS dans les navigateurs récents (Safari 4+, Chrome 2+, Firefox 3.6+)... et demain dans Internet Explorer ou Opera ?
CSS Tools: Reset CSS
by mozkart
& 1 other
(via)
The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others.
The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on.
In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

Compass is a stylesheet authoring framework that makes your stylesheets and markup easier to build and maintain. With compass, you write your stylesheets in Sass instead of CSS. Using the power of Sass Mixins and the Compass community, you can apply battle-tested styles from frameworks like Blueprint to your stylesheets instead of your markup. Sass – Sass is part of the Ruby-based project called Haml. It will be installed as a dependency of compass automatically during the next step.

Un superbe tutoriel en Anglais : "CSS Tips and Tricks for web design". Si vous n'êtes toujours pas à l'aise avec les feuilles de styles, il éclaircira sans doute de nombreuses zones d'ombres et je pense que, même, passé dans la maîtrise des CSS, cette vidéo vous sera utile.

Donnez un nouveau look à Google ! - Abondance : Référencement et moteurs de recherche
by decembre
Un petit site amusant propose un concours visant à redesigner Google et sa charte graphique... "Redesign Google" propose ainsi une galerie de nouveaux styles imaginés pour la page de résultats du moteur de recherche par ses lecteurs. Cela peut paraître futile, mais il y a peut-être de bonnes idées à y glaner ici ou là... Les "SERP" de Google ne vous plaisent pas et vous semblent trop austères ? Lancez-vous et tentez votre chance ! On trouve sur le site les habituels liens vers les styles les plus récents, les mieux classés, etc. Pas si bête... Allez savoir si les designers de Google (et Marissa Meyer en tête) ne vont pas aller y jeter un oeil à l'occasion...

Les styles de citation sous zotero | Zotero francophone
by parmentierf
Zotero n’échappe pas à la règle. Mais il a un avantage: il utilise CSL (Citation Style Language, un langage XML). Le CSL, contrairement à d’autres standards (celui d’EndNote par exemple, qui est commercial), prend en compte des évolutions récentes - c’est-à-dire l’utilisation croissante des documents électroniques pour nos recherches.
swissmiss | Heroine
by fabifab
Heroine is inspired by the typeface Windsor, designed by Eleisha Pechey in 1905. Windsor is the typeface used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies. A modern interpretation of this rusty pearl is something that always have been missing in the major type libraries. But Heroine is not only an interpretation, it goes beyond that. With the addition of swashes and alternate letters in several styles it becomes very addicitve.

0047 Publications
by karlcow
The increased activity in the Arctic has already begun to change the content and fabric of the urban north. The continued regional development will involve meetings and fusions amongst an array of cultures and styles, between history and modernization, between civilization and nature, between east and west, between nations looking for resources and towns and cities hoping to get a share, all staged in a vast landscape with widespread urban nodes. The question is how these encounters will play out.
Northern Experiments – The Barents Urban Survey 2009 is a collaborative effort to discuss selected key cities and urban phenomena in the Barents Region, containing the northernmost areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and of Northwest Russia. The project is directed by 0047 in co-operation with The Barents Triennale and Pikene på broen.

Erik Engbrecht's Blog: Pondering Actor Design Trades
by jpcaruana
(via)
# Why is the standard Scala actor implementation so complex when others have done it in a such simpler fashion?
# Is it better to have one, big actor library that supports a wide variety of use cases, or a bunch of smaller ones targeted at specific niches and programming styles?
# If there are to be a bunch, should they just be conceptually similar (e.g. all based on the actor model), or should there be interoperability among them?
