Turn.js is a JQuery Plugin that adds a turning page transition on HTML 5, with hardware acceleration support.
Looks pretty cool!
SpritePad is a pretty cool tool to make CSS sprites. You can literally make them in seconds.
You just drag and drop the images into place, and the site generates a PNG you can download and the CSS to use each sprite.
Very cool, and free so far.

Remove Site name from post title
When I moved this blog from my main site, one thing I forgot till now was removing the site name from post titles.
Adding the site name to each post title is mostly pointless, and even worse, it gives you less of a keyword density for SEO.
It is very easy to tweak the title – just use Infinite SEO and go to Title & Meta tab (Step 3). There you can switch titles and descriptions for the Home page, Posts, Pages and more.
Just wanted to mention DirtyMarkup – a nice, simple HTML/CSS/JS cleaner. Just paste your code, choose your options and press Clean – and in a few seconds, you get a nicely formatted version of your messy code.

HTML 5 Please
HTML5 Please is a pretty cool concept.
Whenever your application requires an HTML 5 feature that the user's browser doesn't have, their API shows a nice screen with browsers that support that feature, including newer versions of the user's browser.
A nice way to get people to update when the new features would actually be useful.

Client Attractors – Book Review
I have just finished reading Client Attractors – How to Write Features, Benefits and Bullets That Speed Up Sales , by Sean D'Souza.
The book is pretty short, but still not only it is a pleasant read, it gave me much better insight on what should be on features, benefits and bullets and how to write them. I have read several other books in the area, but none were as clear as this.
There is also a premium version, which includes a 25 minute video. The video shows his technique for writing compelling sales pages, and also how to fit in the features, benefits and bullets. It does clarify and add to the book, so if the price difference is still minimum as it is now, you will want to get the Premium version.
Very much worth the time, recommended.
