Luckily, I hardly ever post images or get traffic on my site… oh, wait… that’s not a good thing is it. Well, when I do get BoingBoing’d and take down Dreamhost, at least I’ll know I could have moved my media onto Amazon S3.

Ever wondered what that “thingy” is called? Need to see a picture to identify it? Enter the Visual Dictionary. My kids have a printed version of this—it can be quite handy. An online version sounds so much more convenient than the 30 pound behemoth of

Some things would be fine without having that blasted kitty associated with them. Bike tires?! Please, stop the insanity! (Though the thought of plowing that cats face into the ground over a 10 mile round does sound intriguing… did I actually type that?

Here’s an interesting way to think about new community structures. In this case, Portlander’s are being asked how they want a replacement bridge to look before the bridge is built.

Damn! That was handy!

Hmm. I just can’t wait to give this a try. It is often a bit annoying to have to fire up Parallels for a quick check of a design in IE.

Oddly enough the CSS on this site breaks in Camino. Tee hee. The resources are great though.

Mootools has the best javascript library demos of any library I’ve reviewed.

This is an incredibly nice illustrated guide to help coffee nubes understand the differences of the core espresso drinks. I think I want another coffee now.
I just took a look the features and FAQ for the new Movable Type Community Solution.
The community solution boasts the following:
- Member registration with extended user profiles
- Forums
- Community blogs
- Custom fields
- Recommendation engine
- Sort-by-popularity
The feature set overlaps heavily with Clearspace X from Jive Software. I’ve seen Clearspace up close, and I think it is a great product, but a community site based on the code of Movable Type 4—with its extensive plugin architecture and significant user base—could be a significant competitor. Equally compelling for smaller organizations would the combination of WordPress and BBPress as both are completely opensource—free as in beer, but arguably less stable due to the more rapid release cycle. The growth of solutions in this space has been rapid. There seems to be plenty of room in the blog/community solution space for more players. It should be an interesting market to watch grow over the next couple of years.

This is an excellent tool to jumpstart WordPress plugin development. It does not write the plugin for you, but it gives you a framework for writing the plugin with code hints to remind you to include the important stuff.

It took me a second to get the hang of this, but I found it oddly compelling for about five minutes.

Pretty handy little tool. I can see this being used often in my future.

I can’t decide if I want to try this for myself—I’ve been wanting to learn Ruby—or to get my 9-year old started in computer programming.

Johnathan Goodwin is my hero… at least when it comes to vehicles.

I want one of these for my ranch.
