I *think* I’ve worked out the necessary changes for WP 3.6 post formats compatibility in FavePersonal (the theme used on alexking.org).

The true measure of a new best practice is how painful it is to return to projects that don’t use it.

My day always brightens a bit when the API I’m talking to will send back JSON data.

Verdict on http://macbartender.com: I liked it, but didn’t miss it enough after the trial to shell out $15. Feels more like a $5 util to me.

GitHub’s online editor (Ace, the same one we use for Capsule) is super handy for quickly tweaking things after accepting a pull request.
