This is a nice technique but I wouldn’t exactly call it elegant. Maintaining a copy of the content in the textarea just to set the height of the textarea is always a hack, no matter how clean the code is. This is pretty clean code though.

Dart: A language for structured web programming... →
My first reaction was not positive. But after reading some more of the details and considering the alternatives, I think Dart could be a good thing. At a glance, it looked like Google was just trying to make Java for the client side (which is funny considering that’s what Java thought it was for). But it’s not quite that. The main thing is that the developer gets to decide how...

CSS: Taking control of the cascade - (37signals) →
Nice recap of using Compiled CSS for more than just some convenience functions. Some discussion in the comments about perf claim OOCSS is the best bang for the buck. But the developer benefits of the technique described could outweigh the perf benefits of OOCSS in some situations.

Google Redesign
The goog has always had it’s minimalist, function over form, ascetic. To be honest, it was a bit ugly. But that’s been fine, because it worked.  The latest redesign, though. I’ve gotta say. It’s nice. For the first time ever I actually enjoy looking at google pages. I keep noticing it every time I do a search.

Google Fonts Failing For Internet Explorer Users →
I’ve been using google fonts for a while now (see this blog), mainly because it’s just so easy. Maybe I should rethink. On the other hand, isn’t everything supposed to be ugly in IE? I thought that was it’s raison d’être.
