Following a tweet from @brucel earlier – having a look at theuselessweb.com – I came across this beautiful little play with D3. I had seen this ages ago and absolutely love it ;) Way too complex for my poor little brain to fully understand – it’s just amazing to see what can be done ;-)

If you have time to waste – you might also want to have a look at the site Bruce mentions in his tweet – but be warned, while there are a few gems inbetween which might be useless but are delightful nonetheless – others will make your eyes hurt :P

“Like A Rounded Corner”

Like A Rounded Corner (Bruce and The Standardettes)

@brucel:

I heard Glen Campbell’s “Like A Rhinestone Cowboy” on the radio and began absent-mindedly singing “Like a rounded corner” to it. I realised that the original is about a washed-up old country singer, and began thinking of a washed-up old web designer, putting rounded corners, shadows, gradients etc everywhere in lieu of design or inspiration, and without all the necessary vendor prefixes,

Thanks to my backing singers, The Standardettes.
