Cumul.us: The wisdom of clouds
Ben Tesch, one of several great web designers and developers just across the lake at MSNBC.com, is about to launch Cumul.us, a site which will aggregate weather data and use crowdsourcing to try to make better weather predictions than the experts. Who knows if it’ll work, but it sounds like a killer idea to me, and I can’t wait to see it in action.

Blue Flavor Blog: BlueprintCSS 101
At Blue Flavor, we’ve been using BlueprintCSS some to help streamline the building out of our designs with CSS. After a few weeks of use, I thought I’d write a post on what Blueprint is, we like about it, and how it fits into our workflow.

jQuery plugin to auto adjust leading as the measure changes
If you’ve seen my talk on typography, yo know that the rule of thumb says that narrower columns require less leading (or
Visitline-height, in CSS) than wider ones. This cool little plugin for jQuery handles this for you automatically, and works very smoothly. Check out the demo page. Via Wilson. -

Future to Newspapers: Jump in the river
Yes. Yes. A million times yes.
Here’s the problem with most news: it isn’t. It’s olds. It happened hours ago, or last night, or yesterday, or last month, or before whenever the deadline was in the news organization’s current “news cycle”. It’s not now. News is a river, not a lake. It is active, not static. It’s what’s happening, not what happened. Or not only what happened.
