Interactive Sketching Notation »
August 27, 2010 -
"The interactive sketching notation is an emerging visual language which affords the representation of interface states and event-based user actions. Through a few simple and standardized rules, what the user sees (drawn in greys and blacks) and does (drawn in red) are unified into a coherent sketching system. This unification of both interface and use, intends to enable designers to tell more powerful stories of interaction."

jQuery.Html5form »
August 25, 2010 -
HTML5 includes form validation as part of the spec, so once it's fully supported we won't need to use JavaScript to validate form input. Sadly, this is only supported by Webkit browsers at the moment (Safari & Chrome). This plugin addresses the gap for the other major browsers with a single line of code.

Scott Adams Tries to Build an Eco-Friendly House »
August 24, 2010 -
A fun and yet, oddly informative opinion piece on building a green home by Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert.
He notes at one point, "I went into the process thinking that green homes were ugly because hippies have bad taste. That turns out to be nothing but a coincidence." This is followed up by an explanation as to the causes of said ugliness - color of the roof, lack of windows, little-to-no grass etc.
This is well worth the read, even if you don't plan to build a green home any time soon.

Andy’s Most Useful Knots »
August 20, 2010 -
I've had this desire at the back of my mind to re-learn a lot of the knots I've forgotten since my days as a Boy Scout. I'm rather embarrassed that I remember so few of them actually. Andy's collection of knots looks like a great place to start digging in.
Bonus: knots look like a fun way to keep my hands busy while watching TV.
