Spacelog
This is fascinating. Original NASA transcripts from early space exploration. The transcript formatting reads like blog comments or a Twitter conversation. Every comment has a permanent URI — here's the original "Houston, we've had a problem." Additional controls at the bottom of each page reveal the original transcript and a map showing where the crew was during the conversation.
If this isn't making content meaningful, accessible (in a traditional sense), and enjoyable to consume, I don't know what is.
The 24 Ways Annual 2010
From the folks at Five Simple Steps:
This year's 24 ways annual blog is going to be turned into a printed annual that will be shipped in the new year. In partnership with 24 ways, Five Simple Steps is taking the 24 articles from high profile web professionals and making something tangible and beautiful to read off-line, during the rest of the year. All the proceeds from sales will be given to UNICEF and their global charitable projects with children.
Wonderful. And you knew 24 ways 2010 is officially under way, right?

The Fifth Annual charity: ball
A gala evening to bring clean water to people in need around the world, hosted by Adrian Grenier. All proceeds benefit the work of charity: water. (What a wonderful excuse for me to escape to NYC for a third time in just 60 days, but regrettably I can't make it this year.)
iPad Sketch Elements (.ai)
Chris Tanner, Teehan+Lax:
The iPad GUI PSD has been very helpful for designers / developers in mocking up their apps, although in some cases it's proved a little too high-fidelity. For rapid prototyping we found we needed a more malleable approach. This is when we turn to the iPad Sketch Elements AI. This collection of common iPad elements in a sketch – like style allows us to easily and quickly mock up flows of custom wireframe screens.
Many of the major UI assets for iPad included in the free download.

"Fast Glass"
Even though I think I can hold my own with a video camera, I don't consider myself a photography expert at all. On the contrary, I know very little about the difference between aperture, ISO, and the like. (Or perhaps just enough to make it look like I know what I'm doing.)
I've heard the phrase "fast glass" tossed around a lot and had no idea what it meant. This article by B&H explains things pretty clearly, describes some of the benefits of fast glass, and has a list of fast lenses at the end. (Although at the moment, it appears their commerce site is down.)
Periodic Table of the (HTML5) Elements
Josh Duck put together a nicely designed table showing the 104 elements currently in the HTML5 working draft and two proposed elements. Bonus: Enter the URL for any site to see which elements are used, such as colosseotype.com.

Kilian Martin: A Skate Regeneration
Watching this guy skate is pure visual poetry. Via the newly launched LAAAME, a Devour-esque site devoted to action sports.
