HTML5 Boilerplate
As noted on the site, this is "the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site" While I likely won't use this whole, there are some very interesting pieces to this worth using, especially in the style sheet and .htaccess files. I'll likely appropriate many of the concepts for my work.
This is an outstanding contribution to the Web development community by Paul Irish and Divya Manian as well as all of the people whose work they built upon.

Revealing the Past

I love history.
I love the stories, the triumphs and the tragedies.
Photos and maps of times long ago draw me in, whether they show momentous events or personal glimpses. I become enamoured with an expression, the tilt of a building or the flow of an army across a landscape. My mind retraces the steps, tries to deconstruct the scene and understand the emotions of the moment.
And then I find myself (re)constructing what likely happened or at times, what I hope happened.
The photos by Sergey Larenkov provide a very interesting connection between the past and the very real present. I love the concept. Even more, I love the creations that he has posted – merging images from World War II with photos he has taken in the present day.
