Since my recent leave of absence here on the old blog, I have come across quite a number of interesting design/web/other tidbits. Instead of listing them all (which would be next to impossible; I’ve recently moved to a mac, and can’t pull myself away long enough to fire up the ‘ol Compaq), what follows is a more recent list. Enjoy!

• Part of my job now (sometimes) involves creating animated GIFs, no lie! Check out this cool tutorial to get back up to speed with classic online animation.

• Jeff Croft starts a bit of controversy when he wonders What’s not to love about CSS frameworks?

• Learn how to build mobile apps for the best hand held browser ever (the iphone of course)!

• And I thought I was the only one who enjoyed a well built HTML page. Hand coding FTW!

• The iphone gave us our first taste of multi-touch displays, what could be next?

• Now that I’m in the media business full-time, what’s cooler than Cameron Moll blogging about MSNBC’s recent redesign ?

• Banner Report : Sample ads in all formats, great for the online web designer!

• How to size text in CSS . I haven’t read it yet, but it’s ALA , so I intend to.
