Update: Chris Eppstein pointed out the obvious, a neat fancy buttons plugin for Compass that provides simple gradient fancy buttons without using an extra element in the markup.
I do not wear the mantle of Open Web Vigilante lightly. Granted, I may slack off now and then (who doesn’t?), I pay serious attention when claims of Extremely Fancy CSS3 Buttons are made.
When I worked on the design for HTML5Readiness, I felt guilty for not using a table to represent the data. So, when the 10K competition came along and I thought it would be a good idea to come up with an accessible and ready-to-use CSS bar-chart.
I have racked up too many books unreviewed, which means (un)fortunately means shorter reviews. Here goes:

I am an SVG fanatic, in fact I was using SVG for implementing my final year project (which was to create a GPS system on a linux mobile device) in 2000. So yes, I am partial to SVG and cannot stop writing about it.
I have long bemoaned the persistent lack of love for SVG from browser vendors but these developments indicate that is no longer the case:
I am learning JavaScript and I detoured into learning jQuery. My intention is to learn jQuery by developing plugins :D This way, it would be a practical understanding of how to use jQuery and the experts among you might help me out by pointing out what could be made better.
I seem to be reading more and more Manga comics. I am in the middle of three manga series and they all are fantastic (Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Psycho, and Pluto) and I regret not reading manga comics earlier. I recommend all of these series!
Paul Irish (why nobody else sends me such awesome stuff beats me), showed me yet another CSS3/HTML5 website.
It took me 2 weeks to get over jet lag from my marathon India trip. So, there are less books to review as I was finally sane enough to do other stuff :)
