stevenf:
I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this article that Neven linked to. The convincingly described status quo feels distressingly familiar: that we have become a remix culture; that the light of actual invention and creation may be growing dimmer. If we must all be consumers, let us at…

HOW TO: Make the Most of TextMate
HOW TO: Make the Most of TextMate.
A great article about my favorite text editor: Textmate.
It hasn’t been seriously updated lo these many years, but it still is a workhorse. It’s one of the main reasons that I feel bound to the Mac platform - it doesn’t exist on windows (the other is CSSEdit).
The fact that it’s still receiving attention like this from places like...

The Web Font Combinator
[][1]
I’ve been working on something for a while, and if you follow me on [twitter](http://twitter.com/#!/chipcullen), you may have seen me mention it.
**[The Web Font Combinator][1]** is a simple tool that simply shows you combinations of fonts as headers and body text.
With the emergence of legitimate web font usage, a tool that seemed to be absent to me is a way to see how fonts look...
Just figured out something in drupal that is huge for me - very excited.

One can dream: CSS3 Ligatures
CSS3 Font Ligatures - the w3c draft spec.
It’s part of the draft specification for CSS3, but I can’t find any information on browser support. I’m guessing that right now it’s not supported by any browser yet.
As far as I can tell, the only way to get ligatures on the web right now would be to use HTML replacements, [like you find here][1]. This is obviously not preferred...

Holiday Book Wish List for Web Designer-Types
So the holidays are rolling around, and perhaps you have someone on your list who happens to build web sites. What to get them?
Web designers and developers tend to be the nerdy sort, and usually love to read. It just so happens that there are a TON of great new books that are coming out lately that would be great gift ideas.

Adactio: A brief list of false dichotomies
Adactio: Journal—A brief list of false dichotomies.
A really interesting article from the ever brilliant Jeremy Keith. He attacks three dichotomies that persist on the web as being not really that clear cut:
1. Accessible vs. Inaccessible
2. Documents vs. Applications
3. Desktop vs. Mobile
I agree with most of his points. I believe his most salient point is that there is no...

Take the Google Fonts Survey! →
Drop on by here and take the Google Fonts survey, and let them know what you think.
I was surprised at how in-depth the survey was - it’ll take 5-10 minutes.
Among other things, they ask you what features you would like to see in Google Fonts, as well as what you think about possible future fonts.
They ask what is lacking, as well, and my biggest complaint has been the hinting on some of...

Web fonts go mobile - Google Web Fonts
Web fonts go mobile - Google Web Fonts.
So many things have become clear lately regarding Google Web Fonts. First and foremost, with the release of iOS 4.2, iOS devices now support TTF fonts in addition to SVG fonts. Which means - yes, Google Fonts will work on your iPhone or iPad (yipee!).
Another new development - new fonts! They are also sortable!
The new arrivals:
