Camino is a browser for OS X which uses Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine in OS X’s Cocoa API. The advantage for Mac users is that it’s a little faster than Firefox, and it integrates better with the OS X desktop environment.

HTML Tags illustrated

A collection of photographs using visual puns to illustrate HTML tags. Clever idea.

Over at the Wired blog they’re pondering on the best way to provide licensing information on images; the author suggests a new attribute for img, something like lic="license-abbr".

I’ve had to install a different theme on my Mac, as I kept hitting the Back History button by mistake. I use the GrApple theme instead.
