The Responsinator: Nice way to get a quick look at how a website looks on some various mobile platforms.

Time.is: Need to know what time it is?

All Sites - Stack Exchange: Pretty neat representation of various Stack Exchange sites.

Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts: Keyboard shortcuts and how they are mostly the same from one application to another is actually a reason I cite for liking OS X over other platforms. That along with how I feel the shortcuts are easier to accomplish because of the placement of the Cmd key. This is a big list, more then I think one person can readily memorize, but I like to check it out from time to time and try to learn a couple of new ones as I go.

List of common misconceptions - Wikipedia: My brother mentioned this one to me. Some of it can be pretty interesting. Here's one I always heard as a kid in school (really, I never did believe it, but others definitely seemed to):

Swallowed chewing gum does not take seven years to digest. In fact, chewing gum is mostly indigestible, but passes through the digestive system at the same rate as other matter.

PHP Traits: I'm glad to see this make its way in to PHP 5.4.

PHP Built-in web server: Sort of interesting that this was packaged into PHP 5.4. I'm not sure that I'll ever use it since I already have a development environment that allows me a lot more control. But perhaps folks new to the language will use since they won't have the investment in their dev environment yet? I'll keep it in mind in case I ever find a niche case where it would be helpful though.

browserling: interactive cross-browser testing: It doesn't seem you can do very intensive testing, but it does look good enough to take a quick look at a page in different browsers (and versions).

Git Submodules are not SVN Externals: I need to learn Submodules in Git at some point (sooner rather than later). I think there are some areas they could help me out in.

Docracy - Free Legal Documents: "Community provided and curated."

Mari0: Heh, awesome.

Hacking Rails (and GitHub): Nice write-up of what went on here. Seems every framework has these quirks you have to protect yourself from.

Pinterest, We Have a Problem: Hmm.

According to the company’s terms of service, when a user pins something, she is claiming to be the “sole and exclusive owner” of that content, and she is granting Pinterest the right to use it on their website (alternatively, she is claiming to have the consent necessary to grant Pinterest said right).

Dollar Shave Club: The video cracked me up :)

Reddit: My son is five, and he is begging me to 'do science.' Are there any cool (but inexpensive) experiments we could do at home that would blow his mind?: I'm not a 5 year old, but wouldn't mind doing some of these myself, heh

Bash Shell Scripting - 10 Seconds Guide: I've been getting into some bash/zsh -fu lately. These are some good fundamentals here that can help.

Right versus pragmatic

The pragmatic way to solve the problem would have been to adapt to what these people were going to do anyway

Interpreted Languages: PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby: Interesting (for me) to see this all side by side. I really need to invest in learning Ruby and/or Python one of these days. I've long wanted to dive into Python but I find myself encountering Ruby or wanting to use things I find that are in Ruby more often, so it will probably win in terms of what I dive into next. I've been putting off Ruby too long now anyhow.

ubuntu 11.04 server amd64 (with puppet support): As you may remember, I have been getting into Vagrant & Puppet lately. Earlier this week I ran into a problem where the Lucid base image had a bad link between PHP and PCRE. The easiest way I could figure out to solve this was to get a newer version of Ubuntu. Just when I thought I was going to need to make a new image for myself I stumbled across this image on Vagrantbox.es.

Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way: Run IE 7, IE8, & IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine: I'd like this to work, but have been having issues getting any of this to work on my Lion Mac. Using the MS images seems like a good way to go for me, but it seems this process was made more for linux and is having some issues on my version of OSX perhaps. Anyhow, if you know a good solution, please share.

WordPress functions.php Snippets: Helpful as a starting place when you're setting up a new theme.

Osfoora for Twitter: Client for OSX. I like that it has tweet marker integration. I use tweetbot on my iPhone which has this integration as well so I finally have a synced timeline between my laptop and iPhone.

Stop Writing Project Proposals: I could probably write a longer blog post about this alone. I think my opinions on it might change with a client that I had a standing relationship with. But for new clients, I agree with the basic idea here.

Top 10 Downloads That Enhance Mac OS X's Built-In Tools: Some of these really are nice. I used unDock, Palua, and Perian. I can see others on the list as helpful as well. I will note though that I tried RestoreMeNot and had issues with it slowing things down when I was tabbing between applications. Not sure why this was, but as soon as I uninstalled it things went back to being snappy.

Free themes for Twitter Bootstrap: Obviously if you look at this site in the browser you can tell that I've become a bit of a fan of Twitter Bootstrap :) I've been thinking about trying to integrate some of these into markd.

I tried to watch Game of Thrones and this is what happened - The Oatmeal: heh…

Takedowns run amok?: I use JotForms on this site for my contact form and was affected by this. It's pretty much bullshit if you ask me.

Pagoda Box | Scaling PHP Cloud Hosting: I hadn't heard of this service previously. It sounds interesting and I like the methods they have in place to make deploying with git easy as well as post deploy hooks for things. I might have to try them out.

Dell's Predicament:

Put another way, Dell has no strengths in any market that’s growing. They’re a relic.

Crazy to realize that this is basically true.
