Reading Material

• Apparently Hollywood has only one prop newspaper and it's used in a ton of shows and movies. It's like the Wilhelm scream of the prop world.

• CSS3 and HTML5 will take over the world. Or something: 48 Potential Flash-Killing Demos, Easy Link Prefetching, a bunch of good CSS3 techniques you can use right now, Apple's HTML5 showcase (Safari only, which is silly), and 10+ Free HTML5/CSS3 templates to start with. If you're wondering why you should care about HTML5, see this pretty graphic (and see how MSIE isn't even remotely ready).

• What's the worst-case scenario for the gulf oil spill? Let's ask Michael Bay.
