css zen garden book

I just picked up The Zen of CSS Design and am pretty impressed with it so far. A lot of my time over the next couple of months is going to be spent by getting me back up to speed with my years of slacking in the domain of web design and other such passé [...]

a few ways to expand your thinking

I enjoyed this article (from kottke.org, I believe) about expanding your thought process quite a bit.
