- Volkswagen UK > New cars > Fox
VW thing #2. The way the driverless car pops over the hill and winds it's way towards me, then sits there all attentive and in need of an owner, like a puppy at the dogs home. Clever piece of interactive design.
- Volkswagen UK > New cars > New Golf
I'm buying a new car. The VW site wins the award for the most persuasive site, I love how the colour selection on their pimp-a-car section is performed by the same machines from the adverts. I think we'll end up getting a 3-series though :)
- Forget the Film, Watch the Titles
Archive of file title sequences. The Michael Riley ones are so engaging in the way the web/interactivity almost never is. How can we create artistic, meaningful but functional interfaces.

I noticed Opera have just shipped an alpha version of their next release that includes support for CSS3 web fonts, which amongst other things adds the ability to distribute fonts with your pages, TTF, OTF etc.
Most people use fonts to express the alphabet, punctuation etc. but typographers also ship some very pretty symbol typefaces known as dingbats.
Here's a demo of using an embedded dingbat typeface to add some bullet makers to a list via css3.
After setting up the font description,
@font-face {
font-family: "Sarus";
src: url("http://commuterjoy.co.uk/resources/ttf/sarus.ttf") format("truetype");
}
I can attach a letter to any node using the :before selector,
li:before {
font-family: Sarus;
font-size: 2em;
content: "A";
}
Then toggle the color & style of it using the :hover selector.
li:hover::before {
color:red;
content: "B";
}
The best thing about native web fonts (unlike, say, image icons) is that they scale well and respond to standard CSS properties like 'color', 'font-weight', try upping the font size of the example.
