Between work and redesigning my site I have found little time to look for new and interesting things that are out there. So, this one comes from a friend here at work. Nick Rigby posted an interesting article on A List apart which details form elements contained in a fieldset where each is a new [...]
Squidfingers.com has a nice collection of free patterns/backgrounds (140) to choose from. Maintained by Travis Beckham, the site also includes some nice code snippets. I am especially fond of the div scrollers.
