One of the most compact alternative calendar styles I've seen is like this:

  M  T  W  T  F  S  S  M  T  W  T  F  S  S  M  T  W  T  F  S  S  M  T  W  T  F  S  S  M  T  W  T  F  S  S  M  T

Months are offset so weekdays of columns are matching row to row. Looks nicer and more understandable also with weekend columns colored differently.

I have a super simple HTML/JS/CSS variant of it on Gist here: https://gist.github.com/erkiesken/54bdbc069ba7df21eab6e4e480...

Typically this means the team has convinced someone they know at these companies to try it or give some feedback on an early version and thus voila you'll find "used by Apple" or something impressive like that in slides :)

The other day I needed a simple coffee mug model to preview a design I was making in Adobe's new Dimensions CC app (basically easy way to add textures to models and envs for product pre-vis).

All the sites I found with quick googling had either unfitting models or weird file formats that Dimensions app didn't accept. But searching "mug" on Poly just now and importing the .obj worked just fine. Slap that design on there, render, review and order custom mug from a nearby printing shop with confidence that the design will fit fine.

Just one use case for free and quality models.

Yeah, USE tag is pretty buggy across browsers.

Also, sometime you just need to inline SVG, for example if you want some icon path fill color to change on mouse-over. Easy with inline SVG and CSS rule. Can't really do that (well) with external .svg.

A variant of that game that I've played a lot is to write a sentence, then next person draws that sentence in pictures and folds (hides) the sentence part, next person needs to verbalize the picture again and fold the previous part etc. Often the end result is hilarious.

Opera (on Mac) for daily use, because of 1-key shortcuts, mouse gestures etc that I'm used to from being long time Opera user.

Chrome is on the side for all my webdev work (but references etc are open in either Opera or Dash). Keeps development stuff vs work/private surfing separate.

During the private beta period we will only support the Google Chrome browser. Rest assured however, we will open support for other browsers in a couple of weeks.

Come on, Opera 46 is the same as latest Chrome. Fix your UA detection to be feature based not UA name based.

My default action with these popovers is to Cmd+Opt+C to trigger DevTools Select Element feature, click on the modal background div and just delete it from DOM. Most of the times quicker than hunting for the small X button somewhere.
