bootstrap looks like a nice basis for web work. not a fan of the less approach though - wjy not do that on the server?
May 7th: It turns out you can make a browser based chat client without using any JS or forcing page reloads. Truly amazing/evil. Probably not practical, but does show a clever mechanism for allowing some dynamic data flow with JS disabled.
Jul 31st: Perhaps next time I'm writing a presentation, I'll give reveal.js a try. Some of the examples looks pretty good.

this video demo of open type features in firefox is so hot. so hot
noah stokes' new "portfolio" is excellent. i'd hire him
the quirksmode page on wrappable zero-width spacing for the web is interesting. seems like we still need to browser detect, but we can use ­ everywhere but FF2, so it's not a tough detection (=~ /Firefox\/2./). I wonder though, does putting the hyphen within (as in ppk's example) a function name cause ambiguity? maybe zero-width space (with wbr tags for old IEs) is a better generic solution. what are other people using?
give up and use tables. 47 minutes seems fair. why have i never seen this before?
css tables are pretty awesome. i like the future
typeface.js is crazy awesome - convert a typeface to a series of JSON vectors, then render text using a canvas element for each word, with paths for the characters. evil but wonderful
taptaptap has pretty apps with a lovely js interface. loving the screenshot viewer thingy
salti pointed out this nice article about producing pretty bar graphs with CSS
TreeMenu3 looks like a nice robust dhtml tree menu (if such a thing can exist), which is built entirely by transforming ul/li elements in-place, so degrades beautifully.
chris wilson, ie team veteran, talks about commitment to standards support in IE7, and credits eric, amongst others, for marking the way forward.
ie still hasn't fixed this dumb css borders bug (was evident on lea's site). grr. hurry up with ie7 already.
jc points out the w3c column spec for css, which seems to get the point for once. whether and when this becomes a standard (and a supported one) remains to be seen of course.
the css zen garden, 1990's style. nopw those are some high quality animations.
bookmarked because i've found this useful a number of times: an article about styling hr elements.
