Things that made me happy this morning:

• I finished a new chapter for the Developer Evangelism Handbook – dealing with your own company
• Google has a safe browsing API that allows you to tap into their malware and spyware database. Sadly enough there is no search or match function – only load a full list of MD5 hashes – and the docs are not the easiest to understand.
• At a recent State Department Town Hall Meeting, one of Hillary Clinton’s staffers asked why IE6 was still mandated. Attagirl, more of this – challenge the laziness.
• You can browse WordNet – the database that Google’s AdSense content matching was based on
• Simon Whatley has 10 commandments of social media
• A nice explanation of rounded corners with CSS3 although it is more of a “here’s how to do it in Firefox and Safari”.
• Apparently you can milk hamsters – there is even a book about it.
• A splendid Wall-E/Star Wars photo mashup from Worth1000
• Space War is a cute little game for the iPhone in CSS/JS/HTML/
• Another nice colourblindness simulator – please, do not add another badge, even if you succeed the test.
• OER commons is a great resource for free teaching and learning content
• Some very sweet Eco friendly packaging concepts

Things that made me happy this morning:

• Keep your meetings interesting with the Meeting Money Ticker
• The iPhone 3.0 firmware release now allows us to access the JavaScript Geolocation API
• A surprisingly thorough article on TechCrunch about the Twitter crack some time ago
• An interesting story about a husband finding the photo of his wife as a hot single in his area in a Facebook advertisement – better check how your photos are used.
• A very thorough decision chart on whether to use a Flash intro or not
• A great new web site Geekspeakr tries a very nice thing – “Connecting tech women speakers with event organisers”.
• Bedjumping is something I have thought of many a time on my travels, too
• If you want to develop for the palm pre – here are some Palm Pre PSD design stencils
• Pretty cool robots recycled from scrap metal
• Douglas Coupland is coming to London to read from Generation X.
• Runpee is a web site and now iPhone app that tells you when you can take a break in a movie to use the toilet – and tells you the plot parts you miss. Also wait for the logo animation.
• Flickery seems to be a great replacement for the Flickr uploadr.

Things that made me happy this morning:

• Rey Bango of Mozilla improving his JavaScript experience and pimping my book
• TweetEffect being business news in Japan
• AMC showing ‘The Prisoner’ for free on the web – but not in the UK (or via VPN)!
• Finally a good guide to Database development
• A free Science Fiction Audio book Singularity – does not feature Aral Balkan though
• An online petition to stop the cruelty towards trouts on IRC – this has to stop Khaled!
• A Dumpster-sized generator that turns trash into power – roads? where we’re going we don’t need any roads!
• An awesome concept snow mobile from 1924 reminds me of the antarctic snow cruiser that I mentioned at my talk at the Ajax Experience.
• Mark Wubben musing about oAuth and client-side widgets
