After being way overly impressed with my friends Olloclip 3-in-one photo lens for the iPhone I went and bought my own!

No, not the celebrity type, the graphical type! – Yes, the new, highly anticipated iconography book by the very talented Jon Hicks has been released and I was there as soon as the book hit Five Simple Steps ready for ordering!

So after probably three years of deciding whether I wanted one or not, I finally got ‘inked’ yesterday!

Google Chrome Text Opacity
Oct 282011
Came across a very strange bug today when checking out a website in Google Chrome.
White copy on a black background was not appearing, I could select the text and could also see it in Chrome’s Element Inspector.
I changed the color to ‘yellow’ from ‘#fff’ in the Inspector and suddenly the copy appeared but it was far from yellow, more like a gold colour, it was almost blurred too – it seemed like there was something going on with opacity on the text.
I quickly added ‘opacity: 1;’ to the document but no change, so I thought maybe it was to do with the font; I had got ‘-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;’ enabled, was it that? No, instead I tried ‘text-rendering: auto;’ and BOOM the font was now appearing in the solid yellow colour.
It would seem that this is a bug with Chrome and seems to happen (or at least in my case) when you are using any webkit transitions on the site, it only appeared on random spans, but also appeared on a module which I was flipping with webkit.
Hope this helps others out!
