Railbox by Alexander Wise


Die Gestalten has a new font display this month by Paris-based designer Alexander Wise. RailBox is a robust stencil font. Designed so that every glyph is an actual usable stencil, the font has an almost industrial appearance. He would love to see it used as a real stencil on walls and vehicles. And size matters - the bigger the letter size, the better.

The end of LinkedIn


Relationships Matter, right.

Can a Network-platform like LinkedIn still keep it's credibility if I could connect with Barack Obama? Or is this platform tending to be crushed in the "click-n-connect like hell"-fair just like Facebook and MySpace.

The value of these platforms decreases awfully fast and tends to be an empty-box, just like Second Life, afterall. They'll all, sooner or later, become so called "interactive institutes to show off, impress and boost the fictive online identity of unexisting beings"

Concerning :hovercraft

I'm very fond of CSS Standards and the W3C, mainly because Vormplus always pushes his (and my) pixels to the limit of strictness, so while I was writing code for a recent project I noticed some hovering issues while trying to get everything Xhtml Strict...

I asked Peter Nederlof the following question;
... could be I'm far behind recent posts etc but I was validating my .css and they tell me following; "Property behavior doesn't exist : url("csshover.htc")"
So actually using this file to omitt IE6 bugs isn't really 'valid' ?


So if somebody out there cares along, the experts advice is:
You're right, the behavior property is not a valid css property. The css spec however does allow custom properties (which do not validate either for that matter), but those should be preceded by a dash and some abbreviation, like the way firefox uses -moz-someproperty. Sadly the IE team does not prefix their custom properties, so if you really want your css to validate, you should use a conditional comment block in your html to include a separate ie.css with all the proprietary stuff IE needs.

There's a page on msdn on conditional comments with more info: Microsoft

Fractie Sp.A-Spirit-Brussel



The Sp.A-Spirit-Brussel site is finally live and kicking. It is a project I was commisioned a few months ago but because of my departure to Proximity BBDO the finalisation of the project was seriously delayed. Some last modifications were made without my further involvement but eitherway it's still close to what I proposed.

XIO did one hell of a job to implement all the needs and desires to meet my design and concept, Thanks Pascal & the other guy that AS3.0 scripts like a devil (he's ex-TheseDays and running this new web-company in Ghent) !!
