CSS fun and pretty design2002.09.22

selectoracle: Simply the best tool I've found online in ages. You paste in complex CSS or even point the “oracle” to the URI of a CSS file, and it will tell you, line by line, what the code does. Tremendous. Wish I'd found this ages ago. (via TopStyle Blog)

For more resources, links and other yummy CSS goodness, you might also want to check out Eric Meyer on CSS, the companion web site for the book of the same name.

Corporate Anorexia: “Some business bosses unfortunately have blinders on and feel that drastic cost-cutting alone is the answer when times are tough. They develop corporate anorexia. ” From the WordSpy site. (via Kottke)

The Semantic Web: 1-2-3 is a great resource not compiled by a master but by someone who is learning, and wants to share where his learning has taken him so far. Some good things here. I'll have to poke around it a bit more soon.

Two new examples of pretty, pretty design to share...

Poulos Design has an interesting interface. Most of the time side-scrollers bug the heck out of me, but this site is light enough that it didn't provoke the same reaction. Some pretty things here. It's obvious the guy has done a lot of print work. It always seems to come through in the design, ways of dealing with type and image layering that you don't often see in designers that only design for web.

Teknoel is a very tight personal portfolio site. Rarely do you see sites done in Flash that are designed so well, and employ navigation that is as useful and unique as it is pretty. Very, very nicely done.

I own a Dell, and I've bought two of them over the past four years. I've been generally pleased with what I've got, and the level of support, but I've never tried to upgrade them. Now that I've read this, I'm not so sure my next purchase will be a Dell. Oh, well, that's OK. I wanted the new Gateway anyway.

I want one of these. Call me a geek. See if I care.
