Neon Tape →
Love this idea for hanging artwork simply, easily and non-destructively. Not sure if the tape would hold for long in the sweaty depths of Texas though. I found this tape on Etsy too: http://www.etsy.com/shop/UGUiSU

HTML Email Boilerplate →
I've got a lot of time for good, bare-bones boilerplates for getting projects started quickly. HTML5Boilerplate for example gives you just enough to save you time and give you a foundation without some of the OTT scaffolding some of the grid-based frameworks push at you. This HTML email boilerplate looks like it takes the approach of the former, so hopefully you can roll out the right type of horrid, old, tables-based code needed for the necessary evil of HTML emails.

OK so iTunes Match is pretty impressive if only for the fact that Apple has persuaded the labels to gift you your pirated music for $24.99.
Looks like @Spotify can rest easy. Was hoping for some kind of streaming. Still ultimately stuck dealing with a collection of files. #iCloud
30 day photo storage? & then what? Great for casual users, what about shooting in RAW, using Aperture etc? Big consumer-level play. #iCloud
“Now, you might ask, why should I believe them? They’re the ones that brought me MobileMe.” Oh Steve… #WWDC #iCloud
Soon cell carriers will just be data pipes & relegated to their rightful place alongside water, gas, elec utilities & solid waste collection
Is it me or did GroupMe et al just get it handed to them? #iOS5 #WWDC
I’ve had a sneak preview of iOS5′s new lockscreen weather capabilities. It’s called sticking my head out the window and using my eyes. #WWDC

A Book Apart →
Great video profiling the @ABookApart crew from @MailChimp. I’m looking forward to the launch of @beep’s Responsive Web Design this week.
Red Pop →
Another grand-slam @kickstarter project. This time from @beephq. They managed to fund the entire first run of their beautiful button+app iPhone photo package in a crazily short amount of time. Deservedly so as the design is beautiful. I'm hoping that they build aggressively on the software side as well with instant upload, sharing, tweeting etc built in.
More CSS Mask-Image & Text →
Nice use of the (unfortunately) WebKit-only mask-image CSS property in this show and tell from @trentwalton.
Just stumbled across this by @mattrobs on @dribbble. Very nice http://drbl.in/HOc.
Comical, royal-grade offensiveness and insensitivity http://ind.pn/kilavf. Via my Mum.
