WTF QR CODES was posted on Daring Fireball so the entire internet is already bored of it. But I love it. It it speaks to me. Advertising and marketing with QR codes is absolutely idiotic. QR codes slapped on websites are the worst offenders. I’m already reading a website, on a computer, and you want me to [...]
* { box-sizing: border-box } FTW « Paul Irish. I’ve been avoiding this technique for a while – in my professional work I’ve had to (and chosen to) support legacy browsers (koff IE 6) but perhaps it’s time.
Path is a social networking application for iPhone and Android which emphasizes posting and sharing updates with a relatively small social circle. In contrast to Twitter or Facebook, where users may have thousands of friends or followers, Path tries to focus on actual family and friends and tries to keep things more personal.

I’ve recently switched to using DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine. DuckDuckGo has some nice features including a spiffy “bang” syntax that lets you quickly proxy search results over to other sites and services.

It’s not true that it has no features. DuckDuckGo just focuses entirely on web search. It doesn’t litter the page with garbage-ey social features and doesn’t filter your [...]
At my most recent cocktail party, a guest brought a gift of Ransom Old Tom Gin. Old Tom is a lovely old style gin with lots of infused flavor, very different from what you might expect. Malty, spicy, complex. It’s very good over ice with with a big lemon peel, though we failed to make a good [...]
Microsoft is promoting an HTML port of the popular iPhone game “Cut the rope” as a part of their marketing and promotion of Internet Explorer 10. It works well in Safari (and probably Chrome too).
