Bootstrap, from Twitter: Wow. This is a full CSS library of sorts for that web app you were going to build next. Great treatments for forms, too. Even supports IE7. Spotted via Daniel.

Daniel’s status treatment

July 27, 2011 Ryan SholinLeave a comment

I really like what Daniel is doing with his “statuses” in WordPress. Assume this is a custom post type. I think he started blogging these while taking a(nother) break from Twitter.

In his RSS feed, these show up with a plain title of “Status” — I find this to be sort of amusing.

A short list of things you might find useful

June 14, 2011 Ryan SholinLeave a comment
  1. A proposed new standard for semantic metadata in, say, online news stories.
  2. Michael Donohoe’s bucket list of things the New York Times could do, delivered shortly after he moved on to a new gig.
  3. If you’re not following Richard Koci Hernandez on Instagram, you’re missing out on a hypercreative stream of possibilities.
  4. A short instruction manual from CNN for success on the Web: Strengthen your core, then stretch yourself.
  5. On Wikipedia, all roads lead to Philosophy. And data visualization.
  6. The first rule of Tweet Club is exactly what you think it is.
  7. A book about responsive web design.
  8. How and why the Financial Times built a no-app-store-required HTML5 experience for tablets, and also, the future.
  9. The New York Observer redesigns online to showcase #longreads and scoops. (See also Stock and Flow.)
  10. Google ties together “rel=me” and authorship of things like news stories with a new bit of metadata.

Now, go build something useful.
