Daring Fireball Ripoff
June 10th, 2006 Comments Off
headphono.us – A blatant ripoff of the beautiful and near-iconic design of John Gruber’s [Daring Fireball](http://daringfireball.net). Says John: “The only change made to the CSS was to remove my name and copyright statement.”
*Note:* This site is proudly formatted in [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) and I’m a proud supporter of Gruber’s [efforts at professional blogging](http://daringfireball.net/members/). **Update:** The owner of the site has changed the site and apologized to dawn.

The Vintage Mac Museum – Lots and lots of screenshots of 9\” Mac screens. I’ve always felt that System 7 on a black and white screen was one of the best computer experiences ever.

Google Page Creator
February 22nd, 2006 Comments Off
Google introduces a new page creation tool, Google Page Creator (not Poogle?), in beta, natch. Free, 100MB storage, templates, super simple. Quicker to start than [Blogger](http://blogger.com/) (for me). Which brings up a question? Where will this fit with Blogger? Just a different market? Will Blogger be the premium service and this the ultra-basic?
Chameleon Icon Set from SimpleBits
February 9th, 2006 Comments Off
Chameleon: an icon set from SimpleBits that changes color. Similar to the set linked below, but with a couple of significant differences:
* You buy a single set of icons with one color behind them (you can buy a set of six pre-selected colors, which would probably be more than adequate for most sites)
* There are 70 icons instead of 121 (again, probably more than adequate for most uses)
* The icons themselves are actually nicer. Not to dis Some Random Dude, because the Clearbits icons are okay, but Dan’s icon designs (all of them, not just these) are really, really swell and, I dare say, worth the money.
Sanscons Icon Set
February 9th, 2006 Comments Off
Sanscons is a set of 121 small icons for web sites and web applications. The background color and shape are configured through CSS. Pretty nice. I think something similar using PNG translucency would work well, too, especially if IE7 gets that stuff sorted out.
Post edited on April 25, 2010. This icon set was originally called “Clearbits” and at some point got renamed. Name and link updated.
