Hey neat, Paul Ford was on NPR yesterday – also on ftrain.

CSS Cursors – testcase for bug 163174 – quite nice, a list of CSS3 cursors, as well as Mozilla specific ones. The -moz-zoom-in and -moz-zoom-out cursors are useful for my little image shrinking JS:

Hmm, one problem that may force me to use a simple graphic overlay, the cursor doesn’t change after an onclick until you move it (and off course doesn’t work at all in non-gecko renderers)

Also, loading this script in the body seems to make my page title logo disappear for some reason.

Zeldman’s WDW2003 Keynote (see post) includes a slide that points to one of the awesome CSS Zen Garden designs. I haven’t checked back in a while, but there are some real doozies. Favorites so far:

• Stormweather – my favorite of Shea’s designs
• Dead or Alive – quite nice, subtle, well balanced
• Not So Minimal – not as flashy or stylish as some of the others, but clean and well crafted
• Zunflower – the overlapping columns is quite nice
• What Lies Beneath – soft spot for funky horizontals, very creative
• White Lily – beautifully designed

I haven’t really done much visual design work in the past year or two, and probably won’t be having much time in the near future, with work, classes, and projects piled (and piling), but still quite inspirational (and humbling). I’m tempted to try my hand at this when I need to procrastinate blow off some steam… but it’d probably be rather embarrassing.
