John Gruber writes a great article about Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs Biography, and about five simple words that could easily be used as a replacement for Apple’s “Think different”-tagline.

Market share on the one hand, developer revenue on the other

posted this article on and tagged it with Android iOS Links

the combined app store revenue for iOS devices is almost 6x that of Android Market.

This, combined with the fact that Google actually makes more money on iOS than on Android, is in my opinion the biggest threat against Android in the long run.

Make keyboard shortcuts in Coda work with swedish Apple Keyboard

posted this article on and tagged it with Apple Coda Links

I’ve been using Coda as my primary editor for coding for over a year and liked it very much. However a few of the keyboard shortcuts has not worked for me. I’ve suspected that it is since I’m using a swedish Apple keyboard an a lot of the shortcuts uses keys that have a totally different position on it compared to an american keyboard. It seems this can be fixed easily by changing some OS X-wide shortcuts.

Fantastic art: What children’s drawings would look like if it were painted realistically

posted this article on and tagged it with Awesomeness Links

Illustrator Dave DeVries has explored the idea of what the result would be if he used children’s paintings as base for paintings. The result is pure awesomeness.

It began at the Jersey Shore in 1998, where my niece Jessica often filled my sketchbook with doodles. While I stared at them, I wondered if color, texture and shading could be applied for a 3D effect. As a painter, I made cartoons look three dimensional every day for the likes of Marvel and DC comics, so why couldn’t I apply those same techniques to a kid’s drawing? That was it… no research, no years of toil, just the curiosity of seeing Jessica’s drawings come to life.

The projects site seems to be down at the moment, so this link post links to Elezea.com, the blog where I found out about this.

Animation with CSS Transitions Made Easy « Aza on Design

posted this article on and tagged it with Code HTML5/CSS3 Links Web Design and Development

This is a good (although old) article on CSS Transitions. Especially the following caught my attention:

You can even add an event listener to detect when the transition has finished:

aLink.addEventListener("transitionend", function(){

console.log("Transition Done!");

}, true);

I haven’t read anything about this in any of the other bazillion articles about CSS transitions that is out on the web. Sound interesting to me.
