Original Hover Effects using CSS3; some very cool effects going on here. Some a little flaky in Safari on a Mac, but nothing major.
At last; Adobe start to stick video tutorials up on YouTube. It’s now a little easier to stick these things on your iPhone to watch during the commute.
Fantastic news; one of the main issues anyone building sites has to contend with is background image funkyness. Read more at Ajaxian here.
I’m almost a week out; didn’t realise 24ways were doing their xmas thing again. Great idea and some great tips in there as always.
Really interesting blog post on how the mobile version of Flickr was constructed. I haven’t had the opportunity to try the mobile version of the site out on a mobile browser aside from iPhone Safari, but it works really well on that browser. You can tell the focus on optimising everything has paid off when it comes down to user experience, and I love the visual feedback that every click provides (so the user isn’t left twiddling his/her thumbs wondering if a click has registered).
It seems Apple included a Safari update in their recent 2.1 firmware upgrade and have now opened up a few new things for web developers to play with, as Matthew Congrove blogs about on myDailyPhoto. His iPhone Safari Flick Navigation demo is really impressive and opens up new ways of serving web content to iPhone/iPod Touch users.

Apple have updated Safari to version 3.1 to include support for a lot of cutting-edge technology (including client-side database storage), along with adding a native developer dropdown (enabled within the preferences section). With Firefox 3, Opera 9.5 coming soon and, erm, IE8, it’s looking like the browser market is about to make web developer’s lives a lot more interesting soon.
By “interesting” I of course mean more difficult!
P.S. Visit this page in Safari 3.1 to see some funky CSS animation. Coo!
