From former members of the iPod and iOS design teams, interface design by Mike Matas

No more programming, no more constantly changing the temperature. The NestTM Learning ThermostatTM programs itself in a week to keep you comfortable and save energy.

Neat idea, price is a little steep at $249 but the idea is so simple and elegant it could catch on.

Animate.css - a bunch of plug-and-play CSS animations

Posted

animate.css is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness.

Great little library for generating a pre-made .css file filled with ready-to-use CSS3 keyframe animations. Useful and a good way to learn about doing animations like this in CSS.

Grove Bamboo MacBook Backs

Posted

Received my Grove Bamboo Back for my Macbook Pro today. Here's my quick review:

  • They are really high quality, loving the sturdiness.
  • The adhesive was actually a lot more forgiving than I expected.
  • The built-in Apple logo is still slightly visible through the wood, not immediately noticeable, but visible in lower light rooms.

Here's a hipster shot of what it looks like on my 15" Macbook Pro:
