Video Subtitling and WebVTT
HTML5 Doctor explains the WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) specification – allowing us to add subtitles to our HTML5 videos.
Whilst no browsers currently support it, this is definitely something to keep an eye on and there are JavaScript options available.

Subliminal User Experience
Good UX is characterized by providing the user with constant feedback as they step through your interface. It means thinking about and providing fallbacks and error resolutions in even the rarest of scenarios. It’s about omitting clutter to make way for the necessary, and using the most fundamental of design tools to influence a user’s path. It means making no assumptions, designing right down to the most distinct details and going one step further every single time. In many cases, good UX is completely subliminal.
Great article from 2011′s 24 Ways on how we can improve upon some of the finer details of our user interface.

@miketaylr @brucel Every time a British web developer is forced to write ‘color’ or ‘center’, an angel loses its wings.
