This may be old news to some of you, but I thought it worth a mention nonetheless. I found an excellent online reference for standards aware designers. Sitepoint has published nicely organized HTML and CSS references worthy of bookmarking. If I understand correctly, they will be bringing developers into the fold before too long with a Javascript reference as well (at the time of this writing the Javascript reference is not yet published but I believe I have the url correct). I am finding that an online reference is much less disruptive to my workflow than a trusty reference book. Its lighter too carry too! Hope this benefits somebody out there.

Lighthead Software has developed an awesome little freeware application for Mac OSX called Caffeine that I am finding really handy and wanted to pass along. In a nutshell, Caffeine places a little coffee cup icon in the menu bar that provides quick access to override any screen saver and/or energy saver settings you’ve chosen in your system preferences. By clicking the coffee cup icon, you activate Caffeine and your Mac stays “awake” without any user input. Clicking the coffee cup icon again to deactivate Caffeine allows your screen saver and/or energy saver settings in system preferences to work as they normally would. Really simple and effective - me likes!
