Twitter can be a real boon for learning new things and finding interesting little projects so long as you manage to follow the right people.
Sticky Footer: Alternative Approach - This takes an alternative approach using only a single conditional statement for IE and supports IE5.5+, with 100% valid CSS and HTML
Design Contract Template - A template for contractual jobs in design, alter to your own use (quite verbose)
15 Tips for Designing Tables - A nice resource on using CSS and JS to markup and add interaction to your tables, a nice new take on it with good examples
A review of Rich Text Editors - Not just your grandma's WYSIWYG Editor...great thorough review
An HTML5 Video Player - Created with JavaScript and HTML5 markup; no Flash here folks!
Microsoft's Translator Widget - This thing is the coolest translator I think I've ever seen. It loads the translated version progressively via AJAX without any new page load -- with a loading bar to boot!
Free SEO Toolkit for IIS - I don't use IIS, but for those that do, this would be an enormous help, watch the video to see (good to watch even if you don't use IIS)
Dygraphs - Interactive, zoomable, plottable, QUICK JavaScript-based graphing library - it might give Highcharts.js a run for its money on line graphs (it's basically all this does, unfortunately)
Vector Social Media Icons - I'm not usually one to be excited enough about icons to tell people about them, but the fact that the author supplied two versions of the icons in vector format is pretty darn cool (32x32 and 16x16; 32x32 never scales well to 16x16 size, and 16x16 size is made especially for that size and doesn't look good stretched out)
Revised Font Stack - Looking for more fonts to use in your CSS without requiring @font-face or sIFR? OS's have updated their default font base, check here to see what more options us web developers might have nowadays
jQTouch - "A jQuery plugin for mobile web development on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and other forward-thinking devices." Check out the demo, it's sick...in the good sense.
Free App A Day.com - For all you iPod Touch and iPhone users, check out this site for some free apps! (Don't say I never gave you anything!)
