  2. Blind Man in a Biker Bar

    A little Friday chuckle for you… A blind man wanders into an all girls biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the waiter, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a…

  3. Articles 1.2

    I have released an update to my Articles plugin for WordPress that makes it compatible with WordPress 2.3. This plugin allows you to easily present a list of posts you select outside of your blog chronology. Very useful for featuring things that might otherwise slip into the nether regions of your archives. You can see…

  4. WordPress 2.3 Plugin Compatibility

    Yes, I realize a lot of my plugins need some adjustment before they are WordPress 2.3 compatible. Unfortunately, I have a lot of plugins to update and it will take a little time to get through them all. I’ll update this post with the status of each one as I update them. 404 Notifier –…

  5. The Future of Share This

    My Share This plugin for WordPress has proven to be very popular. It is being used on a number of high profile sites including Mashable.com, GigaOM, Web Worker Daily, AllThingsD.com and others.

  7. Google Using the Share Icon

    As many folks (thanks all) have written in to tell me, yesterday Google launched a social bookmarking/sharing service that uses the Share Icon. This is excellent. The Share Icon has been showing up in all sorts of places – it is, as hoped, becoming the standard icon used to represent sharing on the web. As…

  8. View Local SVN Diff in TextMate

    I created the simplest of little bash functions that I use just about everyday. All it does is: Save the output of the SVN diff command of the current directory in a temp file. Open that temp file in TextMate, which does beautiful color coding of the diff for easy review before I check in.1…

  9. Around the web

    Rogue Amoeba – Apparently No One At Apple Uses The Dock On The Side (thanks Michael) Silence is golden – Twitterrific for the iPhone. We’ll be seeing more good stuff like this sooner rather than later. Gecko 1.9M8 Mac OS X Goodness Google Reader Numbers – those numbers probably shock people who haven’t failed at…

  10. Tweetin’ Right: Give Context

    This is the second post in my ad-hoc Tweetin’ Right series. 😉 I gave Micah a hard time recently for posting only a URL as a tweet (update) in Twitter. He, quite reasonably, asked me why this was a problem. There are a few reasons. No context. Just having a URL come to me doesn’t…

  11. Around the web

    iStat menus 1.1 released – great update. This is a must-have. The iPhone price drop – Michael is dead right. Palm Cancels the Foleo – I was actually curious to play with this, but wasn’t planning to purchase one. Thoughts on the new iPods – Ethan’s a smart guy. Remember the magic? – heh. Twitter’s…
