• Web designer wall looks at the fun things you can do with CSS3, nice.
• And on the subject of geeky web-stuff, I went to a conference last week in Leeds called Speak the web. Well, I say conference, it was more like a group of speakers in a relaxed pub environment, it was neat. So maybe I should do a write up about it? Maybe.
