Most of you already know about the Universal Access preferences and how you can use apple+option+! to enable zoom and the apple+option+- slash apple+option+) key combos to zoom in or out. But what I discovered today was that, no matter what the zoom setting in the Universal Access preferences, you can always hold down the ctrl key and use the scroll wheel on the mouse (or a 2 finger drag on a touchpad) to zoom in and out. Handy for presentations or demos.

I won’t pretend they look exactly alike, but each time I see Ellen’s photo on her Facebook profile (seems to have vanished now) I have to think of Michelle Forbes (24, Battlestar Galactica). And yes, I do think Michelle’s quite sexy.
I first saw a demo of the new Webkit inspector panel/window a few weeks ago at WWDC 2007 and it seems they’ve finally released it to the public (Mac and Windows). It’s no longer a small semi-transparent black panel but a full fledged window. You can right click on any element on a web page and bring it up by selecting ‘inspect element’ from the popup menu.
I haven’t played with it much, but I am seriously considering switching back from Firefox (with the Firebug plugin) to Webkit for my web development needs. Some nice features I’ve found so far are the ‘computed style’ function which let’s you see how a CSS style gets computed for any element. It’ll show you what styles from what CSS files overrule each other. The other nice thing is the ‘network’ option which lets you graphically see the load times for each element on the page. Very handy if you want to figure out what parts of a page are the biggest resource hogs. As an example here’s Michel’s blog.zog.org site with a total load time of 6.91 seconds.
