TTMMHTM: Chrome and jQuery insights, Blaxploitation Star Wars and the Kazookeylele (amongs other things)
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at 9:06 amThings that made me happy this morning:
- Addy Osmani’s Rocket Bar looks cool but needs a bit of tweaking to be smooth and of course event throttling for IE. The idea is cool though (not sure about the site design and the “Where Web Businesses Grow” tagline, but I guess that is why I am not a social media superninja)
- The Tahoe Tech Talk Conference web site is really cutely designed I have to say, lots of details.
- Codestyle.org is a tutorial directory that totally passed me by for some reason
- Remy Sharp shows us how to hide the iPhone URL toolbar the right way
- You can easily do gradient text in WebKit
- True colors is a pretty insane Graffiti/Stop Motion project
- Blackstar Warrior is a Blaxploitation spoof of Star Wars. The untold story of Lando. I also want to see that for Felix Leiter and James Bond. And yes, I like those Storm Troopers. More at Lando is the man.
- HTML5 reset provides a template to start an HTML5 project from – maybe I’ll bundle that into TextMate
- Google research donated some computation time and found out that you can solve any Rubik’s Cube in 20 moves or less.
- I am sure that the Kazookeylele will be the new Vuvuzela. Also check out the Kazoo Metallica cover
- GetURLInfo is a webservice to retrieve all kind of info for a certain URL. From the same guy, there is also a GetFavicon service
- Kayak has an interface showing you how far you can get with a certain amount of money
- Google’s optimisation tool Closure Compiler is now available as a web interface and REST service. Handy for build processes
