Steve Ballmer has, in the past, stated that he would be open to the idea of Internet Explorer dropping the Trident rendering engine in favor of the open-source Webkit. I, for one, would love it if this happens – Trident is the bane of web developers around the world. Simply stated, it is holding the [...]
Here’s a 3D CSS Animated Image Carousel that I created while I was learning about 3D CSS animation. Watch the video above to see the technique in action. If you’re on a 3D CSS animation capable browser (currently a non-production version of MAC Safari and mobile Safari in the iPhone and iPod Touch), go ahead [...]
I just recently changed to a new theme for my site. Since then, I’ve been doing my first real digging into the internals of how theming works and how to talk to the back end of WordPress. It’s been a suprisingly pleasant venture – all your content is easily accessible and the interface is clean. [...]

To that end, check out this CSS animation tutorial that I just finished. It will teach you some techniques that are useful today in a [...]
I hadn’t realized until very recently that the not-yet-released Palm Pre is wholly implemented using not much more than Webkit and HTML technologies. The entire platform is called WebOS, but it’s little more than a shell that is designed to run Webkit. This is an ingenious move in creating a smartphone, for a few reasons. [...]
Damn! It’s even faster now, AND a new version of Webkit! This brings Chrome up to at least the same Webkit version as Safari 4.
I’ve been working on some demonstrations on how to combine jQuery UI and CSS animations for some pretty neat effects. Not to pimp my other businesses too much or anything, but check out blaq design if you want to see an eCommerce site done up with jQuery UI as well.
I’ve been working a lot more on CSS animations lately. There’s not much documentation out there and what is available is incomplete, so working with them is definitely a bit of a chore. I’ve been creating some examples that are pretty cool and demonstrate some more difficult techniques. They only work in Safari and Chrome, [...]
