This javascript NES emulator (ported from vNES) is pretty amazing. It runs full speed in Chrome on a modern PC. Try it out, but make sure you have nothing else important to do this afternoon.

Mad web scientist, David Desandro (who you may remember as the creator of the fantastic jQuery plugin, Masonry and the Opera logo in CSS among other wonderful things), has done it again, this time crafting an entire typeface out of CSS3.
Dubbed “Curtis” the typeface is entirely rendered in the browser, comprised of spans, background colour, borders, border radius and absolute positioning.
All we need now is a jQuery plugin to apply this typeface to our own elements.

Just read this over on ReadWriteWeb and found it particularly poignant.
“One of the reasons social media can be so challenging is that it often challenges hierarchies… and people at the top of those hierarchies have grown comfortable there.
“Some see the potential advantages of an engaging, open online presence, but others feel threatened and vulnerable. They have a wide range of hostile responses at their disposal: from the passive-aggressive to the outright belligerent.”

The other night I noticed two bright stars in the sky, the only ones visible at that stage, in close proximity to the moon. I thought it looked pretty cool and thought nothing else of it. Turns out, they were Venus and Jupiter! I’m still amazed to to think I could see a planet 540 million miles away with the naked eye.

At WDS08 I discussed using Javascript to create games with Miles Eftos, who created a version Super Mario Bros in Javascript. Matt Wescott has gone one better to create a ZX Spectrum emulator in JavaScript. Now, how about a C64 emulator?
