HaTTiP to zeldman for Advanced CSS Layouts, but I'm selfishly bloging this to remember it later.
Ransens Artistic Programming Tutor looks pretty cool -- uses Python to bootstrap artists in programmatic image creation.
Till now it has been almost impossible for artists and designer to do a practical, step-by-step, no-risk, hands-on course on computer graphics programming. Thus it has also been almost impossible to appreciate how programming (which is a simply a craft, a skill) can increase creative power.Rapt teaches computer programming with one purpose in mind: to show how to write programs which create an infinite variety of images under the control of the artist.

Antenna has posted a fantastic bookmarklet for quickly toggling table borders! This will be great for html folks who are looking to see what their crazy table tags are doing to a layout.
The search box in the header of each page has so far been just a placeholder. Thanks to andy we are closing in on re-activating that powerful feature once again. The search engine currently has 1,396 websites recorded in it's database, we are completing the categorization features and backend admin tools so that those links are all that more accessible. I'll post a big note once the full text indexing search engine is back on board, meanwhile if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Here's a great overview, almost a reminder - "hey, you can add shortcut keys to flash pieces". (repurposed right off of xblog)

In the spirit of dueling font links, HI-TYPE is your one stop shop for free screen fonts for use in Web page graphics and Flash pieces.
I'm midway through writing our next feature article which will about web based color pickers. Any links towards color pickers will be greatly appreciated. Just pop a message to: nsteiner@web-graphics.com. Thanks also to the noodle incident for passing along his favorite.

This evening I needed to find some unique fonts to work with, the fontpool has proven a great tool for the task. You can preview a string of text and see it rendered in each font - quickly. Font pool has apparently been around since '96, I only wish I found it sooner.
Today is apparently self-promotion day, and thanks goes out to screenshotstart.com for adding a thumbnail of this website to their cool blog list. Ooof, being placed right before xblog and zeldman makes me nervous.
