Batman ’66
Every single image over at The Batman ’66 Project puts a gigantic smile on my face. But the one above made me laugh. Out loud. [via]

Revelations
Sorry, impress.js. While you were my favorite HTML presentation framework earlier this year, some new hotness just showed up on my radar… reveal.js supports Markdown, speaker notes & PDF export. Out of the box! Seriously, go take a look at the demo. It’s super slick. Anyhow, you can bet your ass that I’m going to use…

Ice Ice Baby
I’ve been thinking about cold brewing some iced coffee kind of a lot lately. Well, mostly since we signed up for a Tonx subscription. Fortunately, gridwriter just pointed to a year old (but extremely evergreen) primer on iced coffee.

Liveblog
I’m looking for an excuse to use the new Liveblog plugin for WordPress after finding out about it. But it’s kind of “out of scope” for me to start doing that sort of thing here. Or is it?

One-Point Perspective
I hadn’t realized that Stanley Kubrick was so fond of one-point perspective shots, but after watching this compilation, I totally get why.

Nuxx Mug
I am very jealous of Sarah’s new coffee mug…

Defective Comics
There’s not really a lot to look at as of now, but — due to the delightfully ridiculous application of Batman to the most suburban of settings — Defective Comics by Daniel Danger & Olly Moss just became my new favorite Tumblr site.

HTML
I want this t-shirt (and most of the other ones at The Unrefinery) so hard. They even come in 3XL! [via]

Like Tears In Rain
I am totally in love with Anders Ramsell’s watercolor version of Blade Runner. It’s extremely beautiful. I just hope that he can finish the whole movie. [via]

Feature Request: Tracking Plugin Updates
You know what I’d kill for? A plugin that takes this info from a WordPress plugin page: And drops it into place here: Because keeping track of that sort of thing is becoming increasingly important for anyone who gives half a shit about keeping their site and its plugins up to date. So, uhm, does…

WP201: The Video
The folks over at WordPress.tv have posted my section of the day long class I helped teach on WordPress performance & security during WordCamp Phoenix 2012. The audio is a little muffled and the video is 10 minutes longer than the theatrical release of The Avengers — and nowhere near as entertaining — but I tried to pack it…

Related Posts
Everything Merlin said about related posts plugins and social media icons in this week’s After Dark was totally spot on. If you’ve got a blog and can spare a minute and thirty seconds, you shouldn’t hesitate to give it a listen.

Six Years On…
It’s weird how, if you really think about it, you never really feel like yourself until you meet the person who completes you. The me that Sarah met, face to face, for the first time six years ago was a broken man. Unhappy about so many things. Feeling lost and listless and just sort of…

Sophomore Release
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…

Shit People Say in LA
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…

Y’all Reddle For This?
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…

Hello
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.
