Julian Casablancas hasn’t made me cry yet. But damned if it hasn’t gotten close. (Also, his album is only $5 on Amazon. Yes, that’s an affiliate link. No, I’m not posting this for the 1¢ I might make off my two followers.)

“ Complicated mammals on the wings of robots
Julian Casablancas — “11th Dimension”
The coolest jQuery snippet I wrote in a while (sorry about the wrapping):
$('.users form.delete, .user form.delete'
).submit(function(){
var name = jQuery(this).parents('.user-details').find('.user-name'
).text().replace(/^\s*(.*\S)\s*$/,'$1');
if(name==''){name='this';}
return window.confirm('Are you sure you want to delete '+
name+'?');
}).append('<a href="javascript:void(0)" '+
'class="delete_btn_surrogate">Delete</a>'
).children('input[type=submit]').hide();
$('form.delete a.delete_btn_surrogate').click(function(){
jQuery(this).parents('form').submit();
});
It looks for the name of the person (user) being deleted, in the markup, and inserts it into confirm() dialog box. This works on two completely different pages, the list of many people, and the specific page view for one person. It feels like I invented my own microformat.

Internet at large: <10% Webkit* traffic
My website: 40% Webkit traffic
The point is, when someone like FontFont says that by covering IE and Firefox, they have compatibility with 90% of the Internet, that in no way means they have compatibility with 90% of your target market or visitors.**
* Safari and Chrome are the primary Webkit browsers.
** They do however have a TypeKit partnership to cover Webkit.

I enjoy the times when an unknown doesn’t really matter.
Is your profile picture sideways, dear 20-something MySpace user, because you are too unintelligent to rotate it properly, or because you think it’s cool that way?
It doesn’t matter. I’ll judge you a little bit either way.
