The World's Greatest Con Man →
The gigolo is not an attractive man. Thin-lipped and angular, Helg Sgarbi appears more bookish than rakish, and his blue eyes seem to telegraph a constant message: vulnerability and need. When I enter the visiting room at Munich’s Stadelheim prison, he is slouched behind a long wooden table, sandwiched between two other inmates.

QuirksBlog: A pixel is not a pixel is not a pixel →
Yesterday John Gruber wrote about the upped pixel density in the upcoming iPhone (960x480 instead of 480x320), and why Apple did this. He also wondered what the consequences for web developers would be.

Tripoli completly resets all default browser standards and rebuilds them quietly with modern web development in mind.
Tripoli is not a CSS framework. It doesn’t tell you how to code your web site. Instead, it...
