TTMMHTM: Accessibility personas, prettier images, Bieber in Korea and lots more!

Things that made me happy this morning

• The Aegis project released a few Creative Commons licensed personas with disabilities for UX testing
• Famous Sci-Fi quotes as infographics – missing “aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper?”
• Google translate doesn’t support the Netherlands in the World Cup but the adult industry does – great viral by Bobbi Eden
• Fix bad rendering of resized images in IE with a specific vendor extension img { <del>ms</del>interpolation-mode: bicubic; }. There is also a Firefox setting for better image quality
• Another nice 4chan crack – Justin Bieber must tour North Korea
• A slightly scary CSS media queries and using available space is something I need to look at closer

• Graffiti analysis is pretty and very very clever
