UnJustify – a Greasemonkey Script for Safari 5  

Screenshot.png

Apple launched Safari 5, baked with Reader —among other things, which is their take on ‘bookmarklet like’ functionality to take the article you are reading and make it easier to read, except it doesn’t, since it justifies the text (thanks derek).

So I’ve whipped up a simple user script that overrides the rule. To load this in Safari 5 you’ll need GreaseKit. Grab it here.

Keep calm and carry on [reading].

Super iPad

Got my pack of stickers from the Support Web Standards group the other day. Very pleased with where Zeldman’s now-classic image ended up.

MailChimp on May the 4th

These guys are good. I’ve been using them every week for over a year (which is when I abandoned CampaignMonitor) and they keep iterating on features and making their service a real joy to use.

I am not sure how long it has been since the iPhone introduction, but this has bothered me ever since, so I figured, with the iPad and all, that it was time to say something:

Salazar Studios  

I don’t think I’ve ever written about this, but Salazar Studios is what I do for a living, full time, for a few years now. We’re a small web shop and have been lucky enough to collaborate with some smart people to build amazing websites.

The one thing that I keep telling people when speaking about building websites is that the actual website and functionality is not the project, but that in most cases it is about helping an organization present their work to the world, and I love the challenge.

We’ve just moved from a text link based portfolio to images of our work, which is why I decided to link to this in the first place.
