Out of 2732 user submissions, I just collected and added 35 words & phrases to Hipster Ipsum.

That means that only 1.281% of the stuff that people gave me was actually usable. The rest of it was names of people, inside jokes, repeats of stuff already in the database and a staggering amount of slurs and insults.

So thanks for nothing, crowdsourcing…

This one’s for the locals. And the people who don’t live here but still like to laugh at the locals. [via]

Go Duck Yourself

Following Ben Brooks’ lead, I’ve decided to replace my site’s search engine with DuckDuckGo. But all of the solutions he’s linked up have been a little fiddly and require editing your theme files. And while I’m okay with doing that, I realize a lot of folks probably aren’t.

So I pulled together this little bit of form code:

All you need to do is change “example.com” to your domain and drop the code in a text widget. Like this:

Easy, right? Now nothing is stopping you from using DuckDuckGo as your WordPress site’s search engine!

Like the new theme? Want to play with it on your site? Well, it’s not in the WordPress theme directory just yet. But it is in Automattic’s SVN repository…

Grab Reddle via SVN and give it a whirl. And if you want to see what it’s capable of (or I’ve managed to change my theme) check out the demo at WordPress.com.

I’m just going to go ahead and leave this here. You should probably watch it when you have a minute… (Thanks Sarah!)

You Are Exactly Where You Need to Be

I need to remind myself of this sometimes. Especially when life gets complicated and I’m feeling overwhelmed.

Thanks for making that, Morley.

Swissted

I really wish these posters from swissted were real. Swiss design and punk rock are two things that I love like crazy.

To be honest, if I had the opportunity, I’d probably buy way too many of them. So maybe it’s a good thing that they’re just images on the internets… [via]

Huh. A little Hipster Ipsum made it into Android’s Design Pattern documentation.

P.S. Can’t find it? Look here. [via]
