Mobile web inspiration

This is a presentation I found when I was originally researching a few months back that was great in terms of thinkign about design for not just mobile but web going forward http://www.slideshare.net/bryanrieger/rethinking-the-mobile-web-by-yiibu

It would be very interesting to see how much the stats have changed in the last year...

It was from that presentation I found the dconstruct 2010 website which I quite liked. It used the Less/SASS framework

Tracking new web projects

OK - I'm going to use this blog to track my WIP on two new projects - the overhaul of my portfolio site as well as the creation of a new business website for a family friend.

I'm going to keep Tot's Jots for general self study notes/discussion/discovery etc.

Anyway, I've started a content audit of the portfolio site. I plan to use Less Framework 4 to give the new site adaptive bones. I've been looking lately at mobile web dev and quite enjoying the challenge and change in mind set it takes to think about designing from small to large, instead of the other way around.

Looking at a couple of Javascript bits to make things interesting e.g.
Raphael http://raphaeljs.com/
jQuery Masonry http://masonry.desandro.com/\
jQuery roundabout http://fredhq.com/projects/roundabout/
LOVE the Quicksand sorter http://razorjack.net/quicksand/demos/one-set-clone.html
Can't decide if I like the potential here or if it's the new spinning GIF : http://www.gayadesign.com/diy/text-with-moving-backgrounds-with-jquery/
looking for a slide deck something like this: http://www.slidedeck.com/
Maybe this? http://www.madeincima.eu/blog/jquery-plugin-easy-accordion/
A couple of lists that might be useful:

Being inspired by lots of sites I've come across in searches incl:
