The Acceleration of Addictiveness

What hard liquor, cigarettes, heroin, and crack have in common is that they’re all more concentrated forms of less addictive predecessors. Most if not all the things we describe as addictive are. And the scary thing is, the process that created them is accelerating.

Penso che al prossimo rinnovo della carta d’identità farò mettere “faccendiere informatico”. Suona bene in Italia di questi tempi, no? #

Understanding border-image

The new CSS3 property border-image is a little tricky, but it can allow you to create flexible boxes with custom borders (or drop shadows, if that’s your thing) with a single div and a single image. In this article I explain how the border-image shorthand property works in today’s browsers.

Carrer Blog: Bulletproof CSS3 media queries

Can we start using the CSS3 media queries today?

Yes we can!

The main problem of the CSS3 media queries is they will not work in the older browsers .

CSS3 media queries will not work in IE8 (and lower) also browsers lower then Firefox 3.5, Safari 3, and Opera 7. Basically the main problem is IE and the older version of Firefox.

For the mobile web browsers this solution should work for the modern webkit and opera browsers that support CSS3 media queries.

I tried to resolve this problem by providing pure CSS solution for 95% of market share PC browsers and JavaScript solution for the rest of the browsers.

The 960 Grid System Made Easy

This article is for web designers and front-end web developers who are interested in grid-based layout systems but are at a loss on how to decipher them.

We’ll focus specifically on the 960 Grid System, but after reading this guide, you’ll find that most of the other grid systems out there are similar and will make much more sense after you understand a few basic principles.

The Secret Law of Page Harmony

The perfect book. This is how designer-genius Jan Tschichold described this system. Not the ok book, nor the pretty good book, but the perfect book.

This method existed long before the computer, the printing press and even a defined measuring unit. No picas or points, no inches or millimeters. It can be used with nothing more than a straight edge, a piece of paper and a pencil.

And you can still use it. This is a system which is still as valid, beautiful and elegant with ultra-modern design as it ever was for the work of the scribes, Gutenberg and Tschichold.
