Kilian Valkhof, a web developer, writes about CSS, JavaScript, browsers, and design tools, and has built his own browser.
HN commenters link his posts as explanations of specific web details, such as text-size-adjust in CSS resets, overflow auto versus scroll, and browser settings.
Some links I've saved. That said, there's no accounting for taste:

Background here: http://kilianvalkhof.com/2011/web/laserey-es-draw-lasers-from-your-eyes/
Basically, it's a fun little project for me to try out a whole bunch of new stuff, including the file API, the drag-and-drop-api, openCV and Canvas. It works best in Firefox, and otherwise in chrome (though performance on mac is abysmally slow)
Let me know what you think, and please set a laserified photo as your Facebook profile picture :)
