CSS template for creating @Posterous themes - based on @Woork's Four Bubbles Model
I'm tidying up the Posterous theme I hacked together over the Christmas break so I can share it properly.
In doing so I've created this CSS template - useful because it outlines all of the main structual elements used in the 'Clean Sheet' Posterous theme on which my theme is based.
The template uses Antonio Lupetti's Four Bubbles Model to organise the CSS code more methodically, I've said before what a big fan I am of this approach.
Please go ahead and use if this template is helpful to you in creating your own themes.

The case for and against buying a Nexus One...
As I predicted this afternoon, despite earlier reservations, I'm getting caught up in the hype surrounding the imminent launch of Google's Nexus One.
Driving home early to avoid the snow, I thought through the pro's and con's of whether or not to splash out on Google's new Android handset. This is the case for and against as I see it: For
- I've been a heavy Gmail user for years and am unlikely to switch to any other email service any time soon (MobileMe doesn't even compare). Android's mobile Gmail is excellent, certainly a lot better than using IMAP/Gmail on the iPhone mail client.
- I also use Google Calendar to sync my 37Signals Backpack Calendar wirelessly, again I can't see me stopping using Gcal anytime soon.
- Android's pull down notification system is brilliant and really useful.
- Google Maps on Android is much better than Google Maps on iPhone.
- I'm really impressed with the UI tweaks Google have made to Android 2.1; particularly the changes to the home and application screens and the new widgets included.
- I'll be able to use Google Voice.
- Being able to run background tasks will be pretty cool.
- Two of the biggest services I'd miss if I moved from away from the iPhone (Dropbox and Gowalla) are both currently working on Android applications.
Against
- So far my experience of the Android phone app (HTC Hero, Android G1) has not been good.
- The next iPhone update (due June 2010) is likely to be a significant revision given that the the 3GS was only an incremental upgrade - should I wait and see?
- I'm a heavy iTunes user - particularly podcasts for the gym - I'm not sure what Nexus One / (Mac) iTunes compatibility will be like (although maybe I could use DoubleTwist?).
- iPhone Safari is still the best mobile web browser, the Nexus One apparently doesn't have multi touch so it's unlikely to be better.
- I would really miss Tweetie if I moved away from the iPhone, it's my main social network lifeline.
What's a mobile geek to do..?

Built a new Posterous theme this evening
Might consider cleaning it up a bit / sharing it as a free theme if there's any demand for it. Let me know.
