@smashingmag I just installed this over my lunch break. It’s good and very nicely done.
Has anyone ever taken a CT scan of a living person’s skull then done digital facial reconstruction to see how closely it matches?

I do also highly recommend these, whether you have kids or not: http://rockabyebabymusic…
Been listening to Rockabye Baby Nirvana this morning and I’ve just figured out Nirvana + Music Box = Eels. http://youtu.be/DZEkslbF…
@andrewsenter best plate carrying I’ve seen all year.
I often wondered what step 5 was, apparently it’s “progressively enhance the crap out of it” http://bit.ly/g9him3

@fraseredwards Glad I could help.
@fraseredwards If you page zoom (ctrl and + ) then set the text size to smallest, it looks like that.
@fraseredwards I’d guess it’s the Text Size setting in IE (View > Text Size)
…and for the second post, some Friday silliness: http://thng.in/y
A double-blog-post special! First up: Context-free content and content-agnostic design: http://thng.in/x
In fact, never mind that last question. That’s why developers get early access…
On iOS 4.3, what happens to apps that already utilize 4 & 5 finger pinch?
@nevstokes Ooh, I wonder…if you combined them Voltron-style, would you get an exact replica of me?
Hands up anyone who’s used @mobify successfully on a .NET site…anyone?
I think better in meetings if I’m sketching. This is a tidied-up version of this afternoon’s: http://thng.in/w
@cole007 @olly did it successfully a couple of months back. It seems to be easier now than it was 12 months ago.
@jennifermadine I’m not entirely convinced that’s a good advert for a shop specialising in health and well-being.
@forrst Good to know, ta.
@forrst If you write a draft post one day and publish it days later, is there any way to set the publish date to the final publish time?
I must be tired. I just spent an hour working on an .htc fix for an IE6 bug when all I needed to do was change one line of CSS.

@mattfarrugia I recently tried out every available PS alternative. Pixelmator got 90% there but ultimately, that last 10% costs £600 more.
I was about 50% finished building something v similar to this: http://bakerframework.co… this looks nicer, though.
@andrewsenter You might like ‘Just My Type’ (http://amzn.com/18466830…) for similar behind-the-type stories
After taking the best part of 2 months paternity leave/holiday, I’m back on the internets full-time. Did I miss anything interesting?
@CharlieABell Regardless of what that says, if it takes 15 minutes to open a PSD, it’s okay to split it. *narrows eyes*
Started a new project purely to give me an excuse to play with document fragments and getElementsByTagNameNS. Glad my work is also my hobby.
@andrewsenter We have, Apple haven’t.
If the iPad 2 screen is 264ppi, new apps will consist almost entirely of icon variations. @2x, -72, -72@2x…
@andrewsenter approximately, plus or minus millions.
Elementals was downloaded from the iOS App Store 6,500 times over Christmas thanks to @andrewsenter mentioning it to @brainpicker. Ta, both.
@paulcurley Handroll it, hardcore: http://t.co/VQJl62x (then use Google Closure)
@ben_seven in a similar vein: http://trulyinnovative.c… (and http://www.trulyinnovati…)
I was going to complain the App Store didn’t recognise my installed apps until I remembered they’re on a different computer. Stand down.
So I finally have a Wednesday night without german lessons where I could actually make it to #refreshedi and I forget today’s that day.
It appears lulu.com have been removed from the list of approved iBook aggregators. I need to find some other method of iOS publishing…
@briansuda cool, thanks.
@briansuda where did you see the Iceland listings? Thanks.
Spent a spare hour today drawing @jennifermadine using Adobe Ideas on the iPad: http://thng.in/u
@gbakernet no, as it was my first very large-scale HTML5 project, I wanted to build up from scratch. I’d use it now, though.
Darn. Bought a cool domain on impulse but my original idea just isn’t cool enough for it. Must think cooler. #cool
@Darcie naturalisation fee(>£800) + new passport + citizenship course = surprisingly expensive.
@Darcie plus, if the UK end up upsetting someone, we can leave the country easily…
@Darcie @jennifermadine figured we’d be better off saving the ~£1,000 it would cost for her to become a UK citizen.
Currently open apps: Safari, Kindle, Mail, Twitter, Dropbox, App Store, Skype, Voice Memos. Apparently blue is a popular icon colour.
@nevstokes but the first two digits of 2011 add to equal the last two added!! OMG! This won’t happen again until 2020! Then 2103!
Just did a random comparison of prices between iBookstore, Kindle and actual books. Wood is apparently cheaper than bytes.
I just got out of the habit of writing /09 on dates and you tell me I’ve got to learn a whole new year?! Make your minds up, people.
I spent this morning explaining Dyson Spheres and literary allusions to Oskar. For a seven-week old, he’s a good listener…
