Building a Custom HTML5 Audio Player with jQuery

As seen on Tim Van Damme‘s The Box. It’s interesting to see how we’ve become accustomed to not rely on Flash to play videos and music.

iPad for Twitter

An amazing twitter client for the iPad by the guys from twitter itself. Lots of small things that make this app amazing like this one:

When you tap a video link or open a web page with an embedded video, you can play that video inline. And, let’s be honest, video is great but sometimes it can take some time to load. The panes in Twitter for iPad let you look through your timeline while a video is loading, and then you can just swipe back to the video when it’s ready to play.

Adobe partners with Typekit

Classic typefaces from Adobe like Garamond, Myriad, Bickham Script, Trajan and others make it into Typekit. I personally have a liking for Myriad (in fact, I use it generously on this site) and I’m glad its available to the public.

The Book Cover Archive

If you’re a fan of books and book covers, this site will fascinate you. I’ve spent about an hour just going through cover after cover on bookcoverarchive.com using a handy feature that lets you sort covers by typefaces, photographers and even art directors.

Mila’s Daydreams

Mila likes to imagine what her daughter is dreaming about and capture it. I am particularly fond of Bookworm and Bunny Wabbit.

After the huge success of his first two movies: Helvetica and Objectified, Gary Hustwit’s next movie is called Urbanized.

The third documentary in this trilogy is about the design of cities. Urbanized looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design, featuring some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers.
