I’ve been playing around with Mozilla’s Persona a bit lately, so I was thrilled to find a WordPress plugin that makes integrating it ridiculously easy.

Edge Web Fonts
Adobe’s Edge Web Fonts look like a pretty nice alternative to Google’s Web Fonts. I guess I’ll have to see which one is faster and report back… [via]

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 definitely be giving this a try soon.

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 blessing in disguise, right?

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 if you have a site that depends on those annoying little chiclets, check it out.

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
Super Hexagon Trailer
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 all costs. But if you prefer to lose hours cursing under your breath every few seconds, check it out!
