Here is the promo/teaser video for Kanye West & Lady Gaga’s joint-concert tour coming this Fall: Fame Kills.
I was originally planning to go see it in Vegas during Pacman vs. Cotto weekend, but probably would see it locally (San Jose maybe). I figure it might just be too much stuff going on that weekend in Vegas. And yes, you might be saying: “but what about the whole Team Taylor > Kanye / VMA debacle, etc., etc.?” Yah, kind of a bad move.
Not the thing to do at the time. Honesty > Tact, maybe? But as Alexander Pope would put it, “to err is human, to forgive divine.” And yes, there are far more things going on around the World that most people should be aware of (myself included): Iran Election, Darfur, Global Warming, …
Anyways, one thing that I have to be truthful and give props to is that his Glow In The Dark Tour (w/ Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna, and N.E.R.D.) was sick! Not to mention, like it or not, you can’t deny that the Music he produces is unique and memorable to the masses.
Last but not least, for more tour dates and/or info, check out famekillstour.com

An Introduction to OpenType Substitution Features2010/07/03 The Type1 format where 256 characters are assigned to keys on our keyboard, is becoming a thing of the past. We now design and produce OpenType fonts which can consist of thousands of characters — additional ligatures, various figure sets, small caps, stylistic alternates, … — referred to as glyphs. With these many sets of glyphs integrated in a single font, we are faced with the challenge of including definitions instructing the applications we're using when to show which glyph. Simply adding a glyph with a ligature to your font doesn’t mean the program you’re using knows when or how to apply it. Whether you want your typeface to change the sequence of f|f|i into the appropriate ligature or want to use old-style figures instead of tabular, you’ll need to add features to your font — glyph substitution definitions — to make it happen.
In this article we’ll give you a look behind the scenes of OpenType substitution features — a general rather than comprehensive overview as the subject is
Beautiful Photo Stack Gallery with jQuery and CSS3 | Codrops2010/06/28 In this tutorial we are going to create a nice and fresh image gallery. The idea is to show the albums as a slider, and when an album is chosen, we show the images of that album as a beautiful photo stack. In the photo stack view, we can browse through the images by putting the top most image behind all the stack with a slick animation.
We will use jQuery and CSS3 properties for the rotated image effect. We will also use the webkit-box-reflect property in order to mirror the boxes in the album view – check out the demo in Google Chrome or Apple Safari to see this wonderful effect.
We will also use a bit of PHP for getting the images from each album.
