do these people have editors‽
wait, Matt Burns is an editor—would no one with a grasp of the English language take the job?
Paul walks through a puzzle in Machinarium.
I love logic puzzles, but it's an extra treat when they're also beautiful. Paul is not only an excellent engineer, he's also a very good designer.
Flash evangelist Lee Brimelow made his little poster showing what a bunch of Flash-using web sites look like without Flash without actually looking to see how they render on MobileSafari. Ends up a bunch of them, including the porno site, already have iPhone-optimized versions with no blue boxes, and video that plays just fine as straight-up H.264. iPhone visitors to these sites have no idea they’re missing anything because, well, they’re not missing anything. For a few other of the sites Brimelow cited, like Disney and Spongebob Squarepants, there are dedicated native iPhone apps.
Kendall Helmstetter Gelner put together this version of Brimelow’s chart using actual screenshots from MobileSafari, the App Store, and native iPhone apps. The only two blue boxes left: FarmVille and Hulu.John Gruber
pretty damning that Brimelow could only find two good examples for his Apple roast, including the porn card he chose. I'm on the fence on the Flash debate, but I keep finding it harder and harder to justify.
every time I visit a page by Panic, I am impressed by its design.
this blog post about blue moons is not only an informative yarn, it's also beautiful. the paperclips, the blueprint paper, the snippets — even the comment bubbles and comment form. sublime.

I was really looking forward to Finer Things in Mac, but lately the information that's shown up there has either been something I'd get from Mac OS X hints or underinformed tidbits (that readers wind up correcting, though many remain errant). occasionally, you find a gem.
despite my high hopes, it failed to beat my signal to noise requirements. maybe my parents will find it useful.
