I’ve been playing around with Codekit for the past week or so and I can say it’s pretty awesome. My favorite feature is Safari integration which brings the “Live Preview” feature that I loved in CSSEdit to my Sass development.

The RGB Colorspace Atlas by New York-based artist Tauba Auerbach is a massive tome containing digital offset prints of every variation of RGB color possible. For you designers, think of it as a three-dimensional version of a Photoshop color picker. At 8in. x 8in x 8in. the perfectly cube book was co-designed by Daniel E. Kelm and bound with assistance from Leah Hughes.

Amazon announces Kindle Fire HD with a 8.9" 254ppi high resolution display and 4G LT wireless. The base 32GB model starts at $499.

Microsoft views the Surface as a “stage for Windows 8.” It’s 9.3mm thin, has full size USB 2.0 ports, a massive kickstand and weighs only 1.5 lbs. The casing is made out of magnesium (specifically, a material Microsoft calls VaporMg) and screen is covered in the Gorilla Glass 2 and optically bonded, a feature Microsoft brags was specifically made for the Surface. The Surface is directly aimed at consumers, and with that, the iPad.

Trouble with @font-face Thickness in WebKit.

While Webkits default subpixel-antialiased type looks good in many cases, if you’re using a font service like Typekit many of those fonts tend to render thick in Webkit. In my opinion WebKit’s text rendering is too thick and bloated by default. This is usually a problem that can be fixed by applying the following webkit vendor-prefixed property as mentioned in a blog post by Max Voltar:

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
                

We recently ran into a situation where we were using @font-face to include a custom font in a mobile website we were developing. The type was still rendering thick even after we tried common fixes like applying a text-shadow to text and the -webkit-font-smoothing fix mentioned above. The solution was to apply a 3D transformation of 0px to the elements that we’re too thick.

-webkit-transform: translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px);
                

The image above shows the before and after results when this rule is applied. By applying this rule to our CSS it also eliminates the “pop” you get when animating the element. The end result gave us consistent font rendering across all webkit browsers.

Adobe Releases Photoshop Touch For iPad 2. Eager to try this out.

I’m very interested in seeing how much you can really do with this app.

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) arrives this summer. With all-new features inspired by iPad, the Mac just keeps getting better and better.

Mountain Lion looks like it will be a promising follow-up to OS X Lion. It will bring over popular iOS apps and features like Messages, Reminders, Notes, Twitter integration and Notification Center. Mountain Lion will also expand it’s iCloud integration by allowing you to store documents on iCloud and access them from your iPad, iPhone and Mac.

Additionally, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber has an excellent article about how Apple’s Phil Schiller revealed Mountain Lion to him in his own person “Apple Media Event”.
