Photoshop: Which Anti-Alias Setting is Best?
via Tutorial Blog by chriscoyier on April 24, 2008
Without going into too much gory detail, anti-aliasing is the term used to describe how the edges of shapes get rendered with pixels. With anti-aliasing turned off, pixels are either just “on” or “off” and you see jagged edges. As we will see later, in some scenarios turning off anti-aliasing is the best option.

My Big Ol’ List of Design/Development, HTML/CSS and Personal Blogs I Read
via CSS-Tricks by Chris Coyier on May 16, 2008
I’ve had a few folks ask recently what other sites I read. Like many of you I suspect, I’m a bit of a junkie when it comes to design & tech news. I really enjoy popping open Google Reader and having a nice amount of articles I can browse through. It’s really amazing how much good stuff is out there on a daily basis. I do tend to avoid stuff like Slashdot, Engadget and Boing Boing. They...

Nem parece web game
via O Velho by (author unknown) on May 16, 2008
Bom, apesar de não ser comum postar web games por aqui, achei que neste caso deveria ser aberta uma exceção. Drunken Masters é basicamente um simulador de bar(wo)men: sirva as bebidas, prepare drinques, faça umas "firulas", ganhe pontos e evolua.Até aí nada demais, mas o diferencial está na sua complexidade (eu diria "completidade", liberado poeticamente) - lembrando que é "apenas" um...
