You know what’s the best thing about the Internet? That it keeps changing. Techniques we use, time we spent on doing stuff – everything gets better and better.
Right now probably the hottest topic on building websites is a little CSS thing called font-face. As more browser supports embedding fonts based on the URLs, more people wants to use it. And that’s an awesome thing – ability to use fonts you want on you web page without not accessible at all Flash and other techniques trying to do that way around. But the main issue with embedding URLs, is licensing. Trust me, there is not lot fonts we can use freely without legal consequences on our web page.

Vimeo again confirms its awesomeness by colaborating with Honda in presenting their newest ad – Let It Shine. They decided to create a totally mindblowing effect (built in Flash) to makes your experience while watching the ad better. Wow.
Here’s the link to the ad – HD is highly recommended. Now tune up your speakers and enjoy the commercial. Again – awesome.
There’s also an interesting story behind the ad itself (not what Vimeo did), quote: Hundreds of headlights are used to build one of the world’s largest LED screens. Check out another video.
And, sorry guys, but YouTube sucks comparing to what Vimeo does.
