There are two popular approaches to positioning with CSS: float and absolute positioning. Both approaches have their pros and cons. My teammates and I have developed a new positioning approach that gives us the best of both worlds. After quite a bit of experimenting and testing, it's time to share the technique with the rest of the world and see how we can work together to improve it. I'm calling it "faux absolute positioning" after the faux columns technique that simulates the presence of a column.

"It might just be the precursor to the next industrial revolution and slowly but surely, 3D printing is expanding its presence into the realm of manufacturing. Now it seems that one of the first major industries to benefit from 3D printing is the same one that spawned the assembly line revolution - the automotive industry. Israeli company Stratasys, already a major player in the field and its subsidiary, RedEye On Demand, will be part of a project aimed at putting the first 3D printed car on the roads within two years, in partnership with KOR EcoLogic. "A future where 3D printers build cars may not be far off after all. There is a vision for a more fuel-efficient car that would change the world . URBEE 2, the name of the car, shows the manufacturing world that anything really is possible. There are few design challenges [3D printing] capabilities can't solve.""

Developers continue to do crazy things to show us what can be done with CSS3. The latest is a fully animated Twitter fail whale by Steve Dennis: The idea for this came to me this morning after being greeted first thing this morning by another Twitter outage. I'd been looking for something to stretch my CSS muscles on, and the Fail Whale seemed perfect. Also I think the animation only adds to his (or her?) charm. How was this made? The short answer is very painfully, by hand, using trial and error. Curves are done using various uneven border-radius properties, stranger angles (such as the strings) are masked using containers with overflow: hidden; set on them. I hope someone else gets a bit of enjoyment out of my wasted Sunday. It was a fun experiment that I don't plan on repeating any time soon. Take a look at the source to see the mass of code such as: PLAIN TEXTCSS:@-webkit-keyframes flutter1 {  0%   { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }  50%  { -webkit-transform:rotate(-25deg) }  100% { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }}.right .wing {  background: transparent !important;  z-index: 22 !important;  width: 15px;  height: 18px;  bottom: 4px;  left: 8px;  -webkit-animation: 'flutter1' 0.1s linear;  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;}
