Good old deadlines
We all work to deadlines, and they can be damn stressful. However, they are there for a reason and can be very useful

KDE 4.1
Very exciting release from the KDE team as the 4.x branch starts to really take shape. Time to power up those compilers (or apt-get...)

Home 3D standards
3D vision obviously has massive potential, and the setting of standards for the consumer is certainly a step in the right direction

Blog integrity
Some solid advice for Andy Rutledge about selling of your integrity as a web author when you start to advertise items which come through e-mail. Please, do not do it.

Working from home
Excellent article (as always) from ALA - working from home can be fantastic - however, you need to do it right...

3D chalk work
Following on from computer generated graphics, here is a collection of simply stunning 3D chalk work

OpenID boost
Big news for OpenID today in that MySpace have announced plans to use the open standard. Good news as more and more sites will move over to OpenID

Cross platform 3D canvas
Opera labs have just released an new build with many of their experimental features combined, including 3D canvas and SVG video. My 3D canvas demos will work on Mac and Linux now!

iPhone native dev v web apps
If you are developing specifically for the iPhone / iPod Touch, check this out. Interesting argument and counter argument about how to develop for them. It will (and should) come down to the project and the skills the team have

ToC
Perhaps I am just a bit of a design geek, but I love a good table of contents, and here is a fantastic collection. A well presented ToC can really set the scene for what else is to come

C in the browser
Adobe have been working on a C compiler which will create byte code for the Tamarin virtual machine (remember the Quake demo from Adobe MAX?). Looks like the work is coming along very nicely!

Silverback details
Silverback looks like a fantastic application for organising and performing usability testing - well worth checking out

SVG Interest Group
Jeff Schiller has been appointed as the co-chair of the W3C SVG Internet Group. Fantastic choice for the position, Jeff consistently pushes the boundaries of SVG use

The simple things
There are always two ways to look at everything - often its the company v the consumer (should not be - but that is how it often is). A milk jug which is difficult to pour... oh dear

Flexible layouts
This is an excellent article arguing for flexible layouts, which are typically quite difficult to implement and design. The rewards can be worth it though

Full service
There are a number of interesting things we can take away from this story, particularly the fact that users like to do things themselves - the feeling of accomplishment
