  • 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 WordPress. And while I think his efforts and ideas might help the WordPress UI Team more than a fork would, I’m really hoping that someone picks up and runs with his editor idea.

    Ghost Editor

    Maybe that’s influenced by the fact that I’ve been working in Markdown more and more lately. Still I really like the idea of a quick, split paned writing area with a live preview.

    So, uh, mind making that happen, LazyWeb?

  • 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

    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 something that I don’t currently have the bandwidth for.

    Then, I saw Jake Caputo’s Memoir. And even though it’s a ThemeForest theme, Jake’s track record (and the demo) immediately made it into a solid candidate. Especially when the other two options involve adding asides to either Anthem or Duet.

  • 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

    NES in a Cartridge Mod

    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:

    1. Registration is disabled.
    2. There’s no install that corresponds to the domain being visited.

    Handy!
