Edited highlights of recent delicious additions:

  • The $300 Million Button – Jared Spool on some pretty impressive usability RoI.
  • Demand a Read/Write City – “Our city is read-only. You’re free to read advertising, business signs, and city signs. But dare you write or hang anything of your own; you will be labeled as a criminal – a graffiti vandal. In many cities it’s even illegal to hang a sign for a garage sale on a light pole. If you happen to have a several thousand dollars, you might be able to say what you want – as long as it’s not too political.”
  • Font-weight is still broken on all but one browser – Richard on the shaky status of CSS1 typography.
  • The Daily Mail Oncological Ontology Project – A blog following the Daily Mail’s ongoing mission to divide all the inanimate objects in the world into those that cause or cure cancer.
  • Is It Art? – John Lanchester in the LRB: “There is no other medium that produces so pure a cultural segregation as video games, so clean-cut a division between the audience and the non-audience.”
  • How to build a website for the iPhone with orientation detection – Use the iPhone accelerometer and nifty CSS/JS to serve up different content according to orientation. Lots of possibilities here…
  • Do You Wanna Hook Up? – Application that allows you (courtesy of Facebook Connect) to make a private list of friends who you secretly fancy. If they happen to have also added you to their list, it makes a match and lets you both know discreetly. I had the exact same idea for Twitter and toyed with the idea of building it for Valentine’s Day, but Facebook is probably a more elegant and relevant platform. Cute idea anyway, if a little childish.
