Developers
Say, man, do you use the Developer plugin for WordPress? No? Well, it’d be a lot cooler if you did…

Ag
I’ve been using ack instead of grep for a few months now. And things have been going pretty great on that front. But One Thing Well just pointed at the (unfortunately named) Silver Searcher — which claims to deliver results 3 to 5 times faster than ack. Mercifully, the command is “ag” and it can be quickly installed via Homebrew. So I’ll…

Antik
It’s a good thing the TikTok team had an analog watch module to fall back on after Apple changed the iPod nano form factor. If they decide to keep doing the whole modular watch thing, they should at least be able to change up the form factor to something a little less clunky. So that’s a…

Socialite
I normally have a pretty strong dislike for social sharing buttons — mainly because of the overall load time they add to a site — however, Socialite.js (and its WordPress-ready counterpart) may have softened my opinion on them. By loading the social sharing buttons asynchronously, it can cut the amount of initial page requests down considerably. So…

I’m Feeling Saucy
While trying to get Internet Explorer 8 installed on my Mac via the usually handy ievms — don’t bother, the 2nd and 4th RAR file are corrupted — I stumbled across Sauce Labs. Sauce Labs offers cross browser testing environments on totally clean virtual machines. That means no more having to deal with a bunch of…

De-dupe “Open With…”
A few weeks ago, I started seeing multiple entries for Pixelmator in the “Open With…” area of my Finder’s contextual menu. And while I thought it was weird, I didn’t find it too annoying. So I just ignored it. Then, last night, I saw multiple entries for Simple Comic when I was trying to open a…

Cache Rules Everything Around Me
When it comes to speed, one of the easiest things someone hosting their own WordPress install can do is enable expires headers. Expires headers basically tell the browsers visiting your site to cache the static stuff — like images and scripts — so they don’t have to be downloaded every time one of your pages needs…
