Good old Kangax has been playing with HTML minification and has shared his new tool in an early stage.
What does it do?
Kangax has forked John Resig's HTML parser which parses the HTML and sends that into the Minifier. This has rules that do things like whitespace optimization, comment removal, and collapsing boolean attributes (e.g. disabled="true" [...]

Harmony is a new drawing tool, a HTML5/Canvas experiment with great potential. It provides some unique brush styles, and can produce some great-looking charcoal pencil style sketches, among other things. Better to try it out than explain it in words.

$ = Y.get;

$[p] = Y[p];
}
});
// test
$('bod

Bass Schouten is a cool name, and the Mozillan has presented Direct2D hardware acceleration.
You have to grab Firefox nightly, do the about:config / gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled game, but then you get to see it in action.

Love that quote from the color picker over at RaphaelJS land. This plugin by Dmitry Baranovskiy gives you an easy color picker in short order:

icon.attr({cursor: "pointer"}).node.onclick = function () {
document.g = "visible";
var out = document.g
out.style.visibility = "visible";

Andrew Hoyer shows his canvas Fu with Cloth, a great experiment using nice physics.
What makes this simulation special is the speed at which everything is computed. Javascript (the language this is written in) is not exactly the most efficient language for this type of computation. This being said, much time was spent squeezing out every [...]
