  2. Great scrolling / parallax technique; definitely worth going through the code later.

  4. Really nifty; probably doesn’t even show up in IE.

     
  5. Facebook trademarks FACE

    The patent and trademark office has hit a new low. Unbelievable that someone can get away with trademarking such a simple, small, common-use word.

    On the other hand, I bet the lawyer is having a fun time with all the people who bet him he couldn’t do it.

     
  6. Pretty cool.

    Google’s ‘Book’

    Google’s new fancy web book — “20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web”.  I haven’t actually read the book; I’ve been too busy just looking at it.

    • HTML5 + JavaScript
    • Pretty URLs
    • Real browser history thanks to some fancy JavaScript.
    • Non-Flash page animations
    • Content search
    • ‘Resume place’ if you leave the page before finishing
    • Page thumbnails in the footer
    • Table of Things (contents)
    • Light and dark themes
    • Great illustrations

    I can only hope this is somehow a HTML-book framework to be reused. That would be great.

    UPDATE
    John Gruber at DaringFireball has a nice writeup on the book and a few links.

  10. Installing Windows 7 on MacBook Air BootCamp

    I wanted to run Windows 7 BootCamp on my new MacBook Air. I didn’t want to spring for the external SuperDrive for a one-time use, and BootCamp says you have to have a physical drive.  Turns out, with a little tweaking, you can use a USB flash drive instead.
    1. Install rEFIt on the MacBook Air. Sometimes you have to reboot twice before rEFIt works.
    2. Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to create a bootable USB drive with the Windows 7 ISO.
    3. Reboot the MacBook Air and boot off the USB Flash drive.

    That’s it. It’s actually pretty easy.
