The Story of the HTML5 Shiv « Paul Irish

Could anyone explain what the difference is between a shim and a shiv?

Nice book plug. I'm reminded of the old CSS Box Model hack for earlier versions of IE.<p>For those not already familiar, Paul is the maintainer of HTML5 Boilerplate: <a href="http://html5boilerplate.com/" rel="nofollow">http://html5boilerplate.com/</a>

Not directly related, but play around with Paul's site. Lots of little hidden goodies there.
