CSS Performance Testing Jon Sykes thoroughly tests and confirms Dave Hyatt’s suggestion that sibling, descendant and child selectors have a significant, negative impact on page rendering. More importantly, his tests quantify the actual impact on performance. That’s it, I’m going back to working with tables.

The Superest Store Capitalism vanquished? Never! Do want—but which one? 

Big Ideas (Don’t get any) Brilliant remix of Radiohead’s Nude (likely my favorite song on In Rainbows). I think dot-matrix percussion is extremely underutilized. See also: Don’t Explain (opens in iTunes) from the original Verve Remix album. (via)

Grid Plugin for CSS Cacheer Anthony Short is first out of the gate with a new plugin for CSS Cacheer that aims to “make grid framework css files redundant.” 

280 Slides When I skimmed over @chockenberry joking about Objective-J on Twitter (yeah, remember Twitter?), I thought he was referring to the original iPhone SDK (or web apps with JavaScript in Safari). Turns out the guys at 280 North wrote an Objective-C interpreter in JavaScript. Basolutely sinane.

Shredder How many US Air Guitar regional champs do you know? 

Summize WWDC "Coverage" This is such a bad idea. Three hours before the Stevenote and you can already see the problem: the parrots are going to drown out the songbirds. Oh, and if you hadn’t heard yet, “the Apple Store is being updated.”

They Might Be Donuts The things you miss residing in Krispy Kreme Country (or when you don’t watch tv/listen to the radio)—like They Might Be Giants doing jingles for Dunkin’ Donuts commercials.

Win a Free Ticket to dConstruct 2008 Andy Budd says, “…simply grab the code for one of our customisable buttons, add your own image and upload it to your website. Next, take a screen grab of your button and post it to our Flickr group.” I’ve always loved the dConstruct papercraft-inspired logo. 

Little Orphan Artworks Lawrence Lessig on the proposed Orphan Works Act of 2008. 

Cities and Ambition What is your city’s message? Chattanooga’s is probably, “you should be artistic. In fact, here’s $15k to get you started.”

Requiem for a Day Off Trailer for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off cut to Clint Mansell’s brilliant but oft-abused Lux Aeterna from Requiem for a Dream. 

Amnesiac Quartet A French jazz quartet covering I Might Be Wrong and A Wolf at the Door. The “Added” date suggetst this might have made the rounds more than a year ago—but it’s new to me. Nothing since, unfortunately. 

Exit Music VideoSong Jack Conte mashes Radiohead and Chopin. Only rules? “What you see is what you hear and if you hear it, at some point you see it.” Rad. Just wish it wasn’t abridged and that he hadn’t dragged out the “We hope your rules…” line.

Easy Target Diesel Sweeties on the new Weezer album. 

New design for Adam Polselli I’m not sold on the background tile but I absolutely love the wispy, oscillating lines in the header and footer—the perfect compliment to the minimalism and attention to typographic detail throughout. (via)

Thou shalt…nevermind “Many of their promised game-changing technologies—Jini, DHTML, and countless others—never panned out.” *cough* Sorry, what? DHTML? You mean JavaScript? Or to use the (uninformed) parlance of our times, Ajax? Never panned out? The internet is advertising. And how is the majority of that advertising served? With good old-fashioned “DHTML.”
