Trashing Up Twitter (more): Donald Trump?? - September 10th, 2009

Image via Twitter Search I’ve recently noticed a disparaging spike in twitter spam, and while that’s pretty much normal in and of itself, this time it’s different. Donald Trump seems to be named in at least one spam-tweet every minute, and it’s only getting worse. So, I got curious.

The HTML 5 Cheat Sheet to End All Cheat Sheets - September 6th, 2009

I’ve seen a lot of HTML cheat sheets, and many of them are very nice, but I have to say this one amazed me. Not only is it absolutely enormous, but it’s extensive, to boot. Dimensions weigh in at a full 4961×3508. It’s clean, simple, and rather elegant for being so packed full of useful [...]

[UPDATE]:This account has been verified. While the legitimacy of this account is still in question, I think it’s safe to say we’re all hoping that it’s really Danny DeVito. If it isn’t him, then I’m still fully behind this guy because he’s so amazingly awesome. If you’re still not quite sure, then take a look [...]

Aw Snap! Chrome is Cute. - September 3rd, 2009

I love chrome’s built-in error page that shows up when the inevitable failed script junks a webpage. Instead of the norm (boring), or even the overly alarmed motif that some of the more draconian browsers might feature, Google’s playful side comes out.
