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…

Damn. Xiki just got added to my “fuck with later” pile. [via]

The Auditor
Interconnect IT’s The Auditor looks like a really nice audit log plugin for WordPress. But it retails for $249. That means that I’m not going to get to play with it any time soon. I wonder if I can get away with expensing it…

Super Hexagon
Practically every spare moment I’ve had over the last few days has been filled with very short rounds of Super Hexagon for iOS. It can be sort of hard at first — at least until you get the hang of the controls — but it’s also insanely addictive. If you value your free time, stay away at…

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.

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…

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…

Why jsDelivr, Doesn’t
On the surface, jsDelivr sounds great. The WPMU post touting the service earlier in the week made a pretty compelling case for using it. Install their plugin, let it scan your site and they’ll host your JavaScript on MaxCDN’s super-fast network. What’s more, their CDN is already stocked with a bunch of great JavaScript and jQuery plugins.…

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…
