  • Factory Records

    Hah! This Charlie Brown record collection meme is cracking me up. [via]

  • Smush.it Alternatives for WordPress

    While helping a client come up with an alternative for the somewhat spotty Smush.it plugin for WordPress, I thought I’d do an extremely unscientific test to see what performed better. So I grabbed an image from Kanye Wes Anderson and got to compressing… Let’s start with the original 221549 byte image. Feel free to grab it (just click…

  • Infinite Scroll

    Otto‘s done a great tutorial on implementing one of the more glossed over parts of Jetpack 2.0: Infinite Scroll.

  • Shumway

    I’m all for Mozilla’s open SWF runtime project Shumway, but I really hope its main use is to support legacy Flash content. Because the last thing we should be doing at this point is encouraging people to use Flash instead of HTML5.

  • Incidentals

    Sweet! Cabel Sasser finally released the long-awaited soundtrack for The Incident! And it’s got a ton of bonus material to boot! So go grab it! Or else I’ll keep using exclamation points to end every sentence! FOREVER!

  • Ghost

    There’s been a lot of discussion around John O’Nolan’s Ghost today. And there should be. It’s a beautiful, blog focused reimagining of the WordPress dashboard that provides an alternative to what they’ve done with the dashboard on WordPress.com. A lot of the discussion is about how John would like to do this as a fork of…

  • Stock & Larder

    The Salt & Fat guys have thrown together a fantastic list of kitchen essentials at Stock & Larder. If you’re looking to round out your cupboards — or you’re trying to come up with something for your favorite home chef this holiday season — you ought to consider checking it out.

  • DDecode

    While JSDetox is great for ripping through JavaScript malware, it doesn’t really handle obfuscated PHP. Fortunately, the gang at Sucuri has set up DDecode to process (and act as a sort of a pastebin for) those nasty little bits of PHP code.

  • Memoir

    I’ve been looking for a clean, single-column, responsive WordPress theme that supports post formats (or at least asides) for the past few weeks now. And honestly, I was beginning to think I’d have to roll my own. Now, that isn’t really an issue — especially since I’m comfortable with theming — but site design is…

  • Fake Louie Episodes

    Sad about “Louie” going on hiatus until 2014? Me too. At least we’ve got @FakeLouieEps to hold us over until then…

  • Kanye Wes Anderson

    The second I saw the picture above, Kanye Wes Anderson became my new favorite site on Tumblr. [via]

  • NESception

    I totally love how this enterprising Instructables user crammed an entire NES console inside of a Super Mario Bros. cartridge!

  • Unknown Pleasures

    I’ve known the story of the cover artwork for Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures for quite some time now, but it’s always a pleasure to be able to hear Peter Saville talk about it. [via]

  • No Blog? Redirect!

    While I do get to work on WordPress Multisite issues from time to time, I apparently don’t do it often enough to know about the NOBLOGREDIRECT constant… Basically, that tells your Multisite install to redirect to an alternate URL of your choosing if either: Registration is disabled. There’s no install that corresponds to the domain…

  • Throw Away The Key

    Not too long ago, I helped a friend clear out some malware on their WordPress site. In doing so, we went thru a pretty comprehensive site cleanup checklist: Deleted unused plugins & themes. Installed a fresh copy of everything. WordPress core Plugins Themes Double checked the .htaccess file. Changed every conceivable password. WordPress admin users FTP/SFTP/SSH…

  • Gauge

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcqx06zsds?rel=0] I’m really happy that Venus Patrol tipped me off to Gauge [iOS]. Ever since I grabbed it a few days ago, I’ve been playing it kind of a lot. So much so that Super Hexagon is sitting there, getting all jealous. What can I say? I’m into the quirky humor, love the distractions that try to thwart your…

  • Portable Starbucks

    I wish the boring, stucco covered Starbucks they just opened in our neighborhood looked half as nice as this experimental LEED-certified one in Denver. C’est la vie, right?

  • Sentry

    Sentry is a realtime event logging and aggregation platform. It specializes in monitoring errors and extracting all the information needed to do a proper post-mortem without any of the hassle of the standard user feedback loop. I saw this and thought “Oh, that’s pretty handy.” Then I noticed that someone had thrown together a WordPress plugin……

  • Girl With a Silver Camera

    This take on Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring (allegedly by the artist Mitchell Grafton) made me laugh. Out loud. So I thought I’d share it.

  • Chrome DevTools

    Use Chrome’s Developer Tools a lot? If you do, you’re going to love this laundry list of tricks. [via]
