First of all you either need to have Greasemonkey , Stand , Fluid or Stylish installed. Relevant instructions can be found if you follow the links, the easiest option seems to be Greasemonkey for either Safari 4 or Firefox. New icon I love using the icon that Joshua Brewer made for Helvetireader, it’s clean, Swiss and still sits nicely in the, oh so glossy, dock. I knocked up a quick version for you Fluid.app and Prism users out there so that HelvetiCal and Helvetireader can sit better on your dock. Find it here.

We present Scratch Input, an acoustic-based input technique that relies on the unique sound produced when a fingernail is dragged over the surface of a textured material, such as wood, fabric, or wall paint. We employ a simple sensor that can be easily coupled with existing surfaces, such as walls and tables, turning them into large, unpowered and ad hoc finger input surfaces. Our sensor is sufficiently small that it could be incorporated into a mobile device, allowing any suitable surface on which it rests to be appropriated as a gestural input surface. Several example applications were developed to demonstrate possible interactions. We conclude with a study that shows users can perform six Scratch Input gestures at about 90% accuracy with less than five minutes of training and on wide variety of surfaces.

HTML5 and CSS3 have just arrived (kinda), and with them a whole new battle for the ‘best markup’ trophy has begun. Truth to be told, all these technologies are mere tools waiting for a skilled developer to work on the right project. As developers we shouldn’t get into pointless discussions of which markup is the best. They all lead to nowhere. Rather, we must get a brand new ideology and modify our coding habits to keep the web accessible. While it is true HTML5 and CSS3 are both a work in progress and is going to stay that way for some time, there’s no reason not to start using it right now .
