Css Scroll effect, canvas and webfonts

While working on some UI design today, I wanted to introduce a CSS effect where one div would scroll underneath another, with a nice shadow effect. Nothing new, you can get an idea right from the thumbnail here to the left, or following the link to the demo. I googled hoping to quickly find some ready made CSS to copy but couldn’t find it, so I decided to write a simple HTML page on my own to reproduce it. UPDATE: Published the code as a gist.

22-Mar: Firefox TopSites

Woah, today I decided to spend the Sunday with some coding fun, and I ended up using the whole day, breakfast to dinner, and even after.

On the contrary, the new TopSites feature in Safari 4 is quite appealing. So I decided to recreate it.
