Square is a sweet-looking little tool for taking credit card payments with your iPhone. They’ve been all over the design blogs lately for their well-designed product site and product demo video, which is the work of the brilliant @lonelysandwich.
I agree, “The Square demo video is everything a demo video should be: clear, concise, informative, funny, good-looking and memorable. Come to think of it, that’s what we should all strive to be.”
A blog full of thoughts and observations on making the web a better place, collected by Sarah Harrison.

blogs
52 Weeks of UX — usually updated weekly with two short & sweet articles on a variety of topics related to design for the Web. Really good stuff.
A List Apart — I’ve been a reader since probably 2001, and they keep producing quality content, year after year.
Asterisk 52 — The experienced and talented D. Keith Robinson writes about web design, game design, and more.
Brown Blog — From Matt Brown and Tiffani Jones, a fearsome duo producing some useful and straightforward articles on web design, content strategy, and more.
Smashing Magazine — I have kind of a love-hate relationship with this blog. Half their articles are mindless lists of lists clearly aimed at driving traffic, but then there's a steady undercurrent of real, useful, meaty content sprinkled throughout.
User Interface Engineering Brain Sparks — The blog at UIE.com, from usability researcher and speaker Jared Spool, is full of examples, insight, interviews with designers from all over the world, and a lot of great information.
UX Booth — I'm a new reader of this User Experience and usability focused blog, but what I've seen so far has been really useful and interesting.
