Google Web Fonts V2

New, improved, bigger, better, etc.

I use Google Fonts a lot. I knew they would have to update the site for this eventually. Version 2 seems pretty good so far.

I forgot to post about this book when it first came out. I’ve purchased a copy, but I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly go through it yet.

The HTML5 Switch:

cameronmoll:

Summary: There’s really no reason to postpone switching all your sites — big or small, existing or new — to the HTML5 doctype at a minimum. I support this argument and began doing this months ago. Read the full article for reasoning.

I’ve been doing this as well.

Speaking of year 12, this is brilliant. Preview different easing defaults, adjust the bézier curve if you like, and then grab the CSS.

Behold The Brand New HTML5 Logo

I actually quite like the branding effort, especially the generator which builds a custom badge depending on what technologies you’ve used. Also very proud of Sencha Touch being featured on the homepage, day one.

I’m not sure HTML 5 needs a logo, but I think the logo itself is nice.

cameronmoll:

Not only are the experiments technically and interactively well-done, but the layout of the page makes for a nicely formatted, self-contained tutorial.

You’ll find other experiments over at the ZURB Playground, including this Konami Code-powered, raptorized jQuery plugin.

webkitbits:

Google’s “20 Things I Learned About Browsers & the Web” is an amazing, immersive use of Canvas and other cutting-edge HTML5 & CSS3 technology. It is so beautiful, in fact, that it resembles nothing of a Google product, but has the fit and finish of work you’d expect from the finest web designers. Bravo!

I’ve been doing this since I first saw Gruber write about it and I’m loving it so far!
