Worthy reads to quell your nerdy interests

  • Vimeo launches Universal Player - yesterday, Vimeo launched several new features; including a Universal Player that allows you to embed their HTML5 player. This is fairly huge news in my opinion, as Vimeo is very much in the public eye these days and they're now forging new ground by allowing HTML5 style embeddable markup.. leading the pack you might say.

    They also launched a "Watch Later" feature that lets you queue up videos to partake in at a more convenient time. Good thinking guys!
  • CSS3 Generator - extremely handy reference tool for your CSS3 markup. Via Jamie.
  • Adobe partners with Typekit - lots of classic typefaces are now being provided by Adobe to Typekit.. while I'm happy to see a lot of these I'm absolutely going to cringe when I start encountering full sites displayed in Cooper Black or Rosewood. How long until this feature spirals out of control and people start blocking it? I bet it happens sooner than later.

What is it you're looking for?
