A clean sans-serif font in five weights

Many free font families have limited weights and italics. Not so with Brisko Sans, a simple sans serif font family that comes with five weights, all with matching italics. It's great for longer texts or display use, and works well in a variety of sizes. It's also highly legible at small sizes.

Safe-for-work user-generated-style pics

hhhhold makes it simple to insert attributed, safe-for-work images from ffffound into your next project mockup. It's great for simulating user-generated content, where you never really know what you might get. All you have to do is insert the URL (complete with parameters for things like size, including random sized images) into your code, and hhhhold does the rest.

Progressive Reduction is a really interesting technique being employed by LayerVault.

Rather than displaying your site exactly the same for all of your visitors, why not show more information to new visitors, and gradually reduce it for regular users?
