Stacey, The Lightweight Content Management System
Stacey is a lightweight content management system. No database setup or installation files, simply drop the application on a server and it runs. Your content is managed by creating folders and editing text files. No login screens, no admin interface.
I had seen this before but never really tried it out until yesterday. It’s fast, reliable and, if you know PHP, also very customizable.

Frank Chimero, a good friend and a badass designer, is writing a book called The Shape of Design. He is funding it via Kickstarter and you’d be crazy not to back the project.
Knowing Frank, I am 100% certain that this will be a book of zero kvetching, type pedantry, or how-to cornmeal. Expect inspiration, insight, and wonder.
I pledged and I think you should too.

Jesse's HTML5/CSS3/jQuery baby is live!
I’ve spent the past weeks working on this baby. The whole time, it was in a constant state of improvement; whether it be improved functionality, sticky navs, shiny CSS3 effects, or even complete code overhauls. This page represents the culmination of skills I am proud to have taught myself over the years. Hope you all enjoy it!
For anyone checking out the code, I made sure I commented a lot of it so you could at least discern most of what I was doing :)
Lovely, Jesse. Absolutely gorgeous.

Halfway there
The title says it all: I’m halfway trough the process of getting my driver’s license. Completed the written test today and it feels great to be done with that.
Celebrated by purchasing two books by two of my favorite writers, Dostoyevsky and Hemingway, and it looks like I’ll spend most of my weekend reading. It’s been a while since I bought so many (3) during one week.

I found this lovely book (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and instantly fell in love with the cover.
I need more good looking covers like this one, Ponto Pocket.

Raj is a magician
Really, he is.What he’s done here is a slideshow without relying on jQuery or MooTools.
I’m usually a jQuery man myself but this seems like a nice lightweight option for slideshows.

Jeans pt. 2
This is a semi-response to an old post, so go read that before this one if you haven’t already.
I went shopping for jeans again. I’m still not a big fan of shopping for clothes, but when you need new ones you’d be dumb not buy some.
This time around I only went to one store, the only place that worked last time, where I knew I could find jeans that would fit, even if they might not be spacious.
The lady that I spoke with specifically mentioned that there are now better jeans for men, and boy was she right:
— Houston, we have a penis.
Yes. Jeans now fit male crotches. And they were on sale too.

Realigned in HTML5
Yes, the realign will be done in HTML5 and I’m loving it.
I chose to do the realign, and any other future web projects, in HTML5 after I received a book which cleared up my confusion with some new elements.
It’s 99% finished now; I’m currently working with media queries to make it look better in smaller browsers.
Stay tuned.

Cross-browser kerning-pairs & ligatures
It’s been bouncing back and forth on Twitter and what do you know, it’s well worth the attention it’s getting. This is great stuff for the better browsers (Sorry, IE) and you should implement it immediately.
And look at those sexy ligatures at the bottom. Gorgeous.
