Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts — it is an almost unorthographic life. One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way.

Transforms @font-face Expography

This is the first of what I hope are num­ber of exper­i­ments I plan on work­ing on over the next few months, all in an effort to get acquain­ted with some of the new CSS3 fea­tures out in the wild that seem to be gain­ing some traction.

The last few months have been pretty excit­ing, with all the talk about new CSS3 fea­tures and how browsers are adding sup­port for them, it’s a great time to be a designer for the web. It’s a lot easier these days to exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent typefaces, lay­outs and tech­niques pre­vi­ously not available.

Take a look at the image below:

No, it’s not a poster. It’s a web page com­pletely designed using basic CSS and new CSS3 tech­niques. Pretty impress­ive right?

How’s it done?

Pretty easy actu­ally, I used basic CSS pos­i­tion­ing and some of the newer CSS3 fea­tures to put it together. Below are a few samples of the code so you can get an idea:

@font-face

@font-face { font-family: 'ChunkFiveRegular'; src: url('Chunkfive.eot'); src: local('ChunkFive'),local('ChunkFive'), url('Chunkfive.woff') format('woff'), url('Chunkfive.ttf') format('truetype'), url('Chunkfive.svg#ChunkFive') format('svg'); }

Trans­forms

-webkit-transform: rotate(1deg); -moz-transform: rotate(1deg); -o-transform: rotate(1deg);

Text-Shadows & Box Shadows

text-shadow: 2px 8px #b5c1b8, -1px -1px #fff; box-shadow: 4px 6px #b5c1b8;

The font used is called Chunk, a nice bold slab serif. The text is an excerpt from the Uni­ver­sal Declar­a­tion of Human Rights.

Works in these browsers

• Fire­fox 3.6
• Safari 4
• Chrome 5
• Opera 10

IE can suck it.

So there it is. Noth­ing out of this world, how­ever I think it shows the poten­tial of CSS spe­cific­ally the poten­tial in using new CSS3 features.

In the words of Matt Brett:

“if you showed me that 10 years ago, my head would have exploded!”

Indeed. We’ve come a long way.

[Crime Mystery] We all hope that Chris Coan will be found safe and sound, if he wants to be. Still, the mystery surrounding his disappearance

engages the imagination.

Coan wrote down the number "208" before leaving his job at a Subway sandwich shop in Enoch. Then he drove away and hasn't been heard from since.

• Did police use the time-honored "scribble on the notepad with the edge of a pencil lead" technique to discover what it was he had written down? (This worked in The Big Lebowski and countless other spy movies and Perry Mason episodes, but it's really easier--though less cinematically dramatic--to hold the paper at an oblique angle to the light.)
  
• Why do police assume 208 is a phone number? It's only three digits. Nobody ever writes down just an area code or an exchange; phone numbers are seven or 10 digits. And Coan doesn't even have a cell phone.
  
• My theory is that 208 is a hotel room number. You wouldn't necessarily write down the name of a hotel if you knew where it was, but you would probably write down a room number if you were meeting a guest there.
  
• According to Bill Frost, if this were an episode of The Rockford Files, 208 would be the number of a locker at a bus depot.
