  • 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.

  • Try Git

  • 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 anyone have the free time to do something like this? Because I don’t right now — but I’ll gladly buy a nice bottle of something alcoholic for the person who does…

    Update: Request fulfilled by the exceedingly wonderful Pete Mall!

    Here’s what it looks like in action:

    Thanks Pete! I’ll have a bottle of whiskey for you at WordCamp SF.

  • 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 as full of as much information as possible. Enjoy!

    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 drifting through life as a childish, self-centered, slob.

    But she gave me something to be happy about. She cradled and loved this broken fool until I became a better man. It took a good long while, but she held on and never gave up on me.

    Now I know that sometimes I’m (still) not the best man that I could be. But I always try to do better. For her. Considering what she’s done for me though, trying doesn’t seem like enough. I owe her so much more than that.

    That’s why I’m writing this post. Consider it a public declaration, if you will, of my plan to be not just a better man. For all the love and kindness and patience and heart you’ve shown me over the years, Sarah, I’m going to be the best man.

    Not the best man possible. That shit won’t fly. The best man. Period.

    It really is the least I can do considering everything you’ve done, and continue to do, for me…

    Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. My heart is forever yours.
