Brilliant presentation by Jon Hicks on the creation and usage of icons for webdesign. Very insightful.

Now following: Fontgasm
I just stumbled over this gem of a tumblelog that does a lot more than just featuring pretty typefaces. It offers insightful storys on designers and historical fonts, all wrapped in a calm, pretty design. One of the best ressources on typography I came across on Tumblr.

One of those rare, supersimple and absolutely great website designs. The colour schema is as close to perfect as they get.

Awesome idea executed perfectly: Neven Mrgan created a web app that works seamlessly as an iPhone/iPod Touch special characters palette. Really handy, and I love how the custom UI is implemented in Mobile Safari. Via Daring Fireball.

Great Cargo-themed photo tumblr – cargo’s clean and simple browsing logic has been implemented very well. Makes me want to try out some theming things. Oh, and there’s some great photography to be found, of course. Via Maniacalrage.

Awesome set of design work. Via ISO50.
Bizzare Love Triangle
Phil on people that follow his tumblelog: kriesse is an awesome web designer and illustrator from Berlin. Check out her work on Behance. I think she dates electricgecko, who is also great. Thank you for the kind words, but I’m dating ultraviolett. Kriesse and me are very close, though. Good guess!
(Phil runs a nice tumblelog, which happens to be called Design by Gecko.)
jQuery Tools →
This looks great: a lightweight library for jQuery with tabs, tooltips, expose, overlay, scrollable and flashembed — all under 6Kb. Feels like a good out-of-the-box solution for most cases. Via David Kaneda.
Adobe BrowserLab →
Lets you render your web projects in different browsers, along with the ability to compare and overlay the outcome. Very neat, but I’m still annoyed by the fact that I have to check websites against software that’s ten years old (read: Internet Explorer 6). Via nomoresleep.
