Now that CSS3 is out and about with all its nifty animations, tranformations, etc... I've seen several interesting attempts to push these new properties to the limits while having a bit of fun in the meantime. Our Solar System is a great little experiment, complete with animated planets and other orbits. It does look a little quirky on my browser, Google Chrome 4.1, but an A+ for effort anyway. Here are a few other great CSS3/HTML5 links.May 18, 2010

The latest beta version of Google Chrome includes several new features which certainly have me anticipating the release of the stable version. More synchronization, disabling annoying translation requests and the ability to reorder extension buttons are among the highlights. Read on to find out more about what's new and improved.May 5, 2010
Monotype Imaging has recently announced a "New Solution to Offer Thousands of Fonts for the Web including the Iconic Helvetica and Frutiger Designs". I couldn't be more excited... AND I have just received an invitation to try out the beta over at Fonts.com. At first glance, this service seems quite similar to TypeKit, which I had been using previously. But I had always found their selection quite limited (at least with the free account), and didn't really consider the service to be worth the extra bytes it was downloading. However, browsing through the list at Fonts.com, I am really starting to see a silver lining for web typography.
Google has recently announced that they are now including site speed as a factor for rank position. Ouch! This makes sense, but it is interesting that as a web developer (and one who was still making entire websites in Flash until about 2 years ago), I had slowly stopped considering this issue as the years have gone by. I remember when a 100Kb image meant waiting for a couple of minutes and so was only used when really necessary. But with average broadband internet speed increasing steadily, even more than a MB could load at a *decent* rate (I'm writing from Spain, so if you live somewhere else your experience may vary).
