As if the mainstream isn’t confused enough as it is, the W3C has gone ahead and unveiled a new logo for HTML5 and used it as the umbrella term for the latest technologies in front-end web development, much to all the standardistas’ protests. HTML5 is HTML but now, apparently, it now also encompasses CSS3, the new audio and video formats, and even more jargon like geolocation, web sockets, SVG, and […]
Parallax is a pretty common effect nowadays if you want to do away with Flash, but the fact that Nike did it is more interesting.
It may take a while before the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas themselves release proper photos of the new Philippine notes because we all know how internet savvy government agencies are. All I’ve seen are photos of the designs on exhibit from yesterday’s launch. Bills will start circulation within the month, while current bills will expire in three years (the same time it took for these designs to be conceptualized). I […]

Google celebrated Chrome’s 2nd birthday with some lovely illustrations from Mike Lemanski and Jack Hudson. High-res versions linked to in this post.
Infographics is the new black these days. I keep saying that images are still the most portable means of sharing information on the web, and visualizations fall into this behavior.
