Someone at Adobe appears to still have half a brain!
Flash CS5 will have a rudimentary HTML5/Canvas export. If they're smart, they'll build a full Canvas animation-based IDE before someone else does.

Recreating the OS X Dock with CSS3 (including zooming icons!)

http://www.zurb.com/playground/osx-dock

This is pretty awesome, I can see all kinds of uses for it. It even does the dock zooming effect, purely in CSS3!

Correction: It uses a little bit of Javascript to add the "nearby" class to the neighboring icons when you mouse over. View source to see it.

Neat little effect that's usually done in Flash for photographer portfolios and photo galleries. Not anymore!
