Papervision3D: realtime 3D content in Flash
With the growing bandwidth in most households, web content is naturally becoming more multimedia rich. One realm that has not really taken off yet, is realtime 3D content.
I recently came across www.papervision3d.org, where you can see a preview of realtime 3D content.

[LINK] kuler by Adobe
A pretty useful, web based, color-theme creation and sharing tool. It uses flash, which is a bit of a disappointment, but otherwise it is very handy for graphic and web design work.
If you register, you can favourite color themes and get back to them later.

Big Embarrassed Oops
Perhaps you know the saying "The shoemakers children have no shoes". Well, the same goes for web designers.
Several months ago, I created CCV4, the theme you are currently viewing, for my blog. I do all my development in Firefox first, that way I can make sure that the site looks good in browsers that conform to standards.
Then I load up IE and start hacking away at the code to allow IE to display it correctly. A frustrating and time consuming task.
In the case of CCV4, haste caused me to skip this step.
Today, for fun, I tried viewing cognitivecombine.com through IE6 and to my shock and horror, realised that it was not being displayed correctly at all!
This is quite embarrassing. I have implemented a few quick hacks in the CSS styling to make the site look somewhat acceptable in IE6 and will try to fix any outstanding issues on the weekend.
