I was looking for sites that utilized the Javascript History/BackButton library SWFAddress, because the studio I work at was looking into similar solutions for a site we were working on EcoDrivingUSA. While searching I noticed that The Heads of State used it and had just released their newest web site redesign.

I’ve been a fan of The Heads of State since I saw there first entires PRINT and HOW. If you’re unfamiliar with them they’re an amazing two man studio formed by Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers with offices in Brooklyn, NY and Seattle, WA that is probably best known for their poster work.

I’m so excited I just received an email from Panic. Coda 1.5 is now avaiable! YES!

Let’s do a quick feature run-down:

• With the new version comes an amazing update that our Textmate-using, rival, developer friends have had for some time now. “Fully integrated source control with Subversion.”
• Mixed-mode syntax highlighting (Javascript embedded in HTML)
• Significant performance increases (Leopard only)
• Search across multiple files locally
• User customizable books
• More AppleScript support
• Web Preview now previews local PHP files

Four sources to inspire your next painting, poster, design or web site.

• Behance Network Inspire me…
• QBN Inspire me…
• We heart it Inspire me…
• FFFFound Inspire me…

This I’m definitely into. A really simple, really nice website, that has a nicely organized and growing collection of all types of web design elements.

It’s the little things make a design great
