jQuery Masonry
jQuery Masonry:
Masonry is a layout plugin for jQuery. Think of it as the flip side of CSS floats. Whereas floating arranges elements horizontally then vertically, Masonry arranges elements vertically then horizontally according to a grid. The result minimizes vertical gaps between elements of varying height, just like a mason fitting stones in a […]
html5media: JavaScript That Enables ‘Video’ Tag For All Major Browsers
html5media:
HTML5 video tags make embedding videos into documents as easy as embedding an image. All it takes is a single <video> tag. Unfortunately, not all browsers natively support HTML5 video tags.
… and that’s where this clever little stop-gap script comes in. It replaces the video tag with a Flash Player if the video […]
Daily Deeds: The Other Side of “Getting Things Done”
For me, apps like Omni Focus or Things — although great at managing tasks — don’t give you a complete picture of the things that need to get done.

It’s basically doing […]

Using Capistrano to Deploy to a Media Temple Ruby on Rails GridContainer
What I thought would be quick to set-up nearly took an entire evening. Using Media Temple’s Grid Service along with their Ruby on Rails GridContainer seemed straightforward, but they really don’t provide much help for what I’d assume most people are using to deploy: Capistrano.
After following the basic Rails container installation steps outlined on their […]
Extend CSS With Variables, Mixins, Operations and Nested Rules Using LESS
LESS:
LESS extends CSS with: variables, mixins, operations and nested rules.
Best of all, LESS uses existing CSS syntax. This means you can rename your current.css files to .less and they’ll just work.
LESS defines its own extension to CSS syntax which then gets compiled into standard CSS. It’s a really great […]
