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 insults.

This one’s for the locals. And the people who don’t live here but still like to laugh at the locals. [via]
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.

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 the demo at WordPress.com.
I need to remind myself of this sometimes. Especially when life gets complicated and I’m feeling overwhelmed.
Thanks for making that, Morley.

There was talk that LCD Soundsystem was eventually going to release the footage from their three and a half hour long final show on DVD. And while I was pulling for that (and a decently mastered audio version) I’m almost more excited that it’s getting the documentary treatment with Shut Up and Play the Hits.
Tim Denee has put together this really beautiful, free PDF calendar for 2012. If you’ve got a ream of A3 paper sitting around your office, don’t hesitate to print it off and hang it up. [via]
