WordPress Press It With PopUp - E5 Media
22 Oct 07
WordPress Press-it with PopUp from E5 Media.
A hacked combination of the WordPress Press It bookmarklet and the tumblr bookmarklet to force it to open in a new window. I like it much better than the default Press It functionality that opens in the same window. All those WP tumbloggers can use it similar to the QuickPost WordPress plugin (QuickPost doesn’t work in WP 2.3).

Automattic Acquires Gravatar
17 Oct 07
Cool new features that may convince me to use Gravatars in my next theme here.
- Avatar serving is now more than three times as fast, and works every time.
- We’re going to make all of the Premium features free.
- Move the gravatar serving to a Content Delivery Network so not only will they be fast, it’ll be low latency and not slow down a page load.
- Develop a new API that has cleaner URLs and allows Gravatars to be addressed by things like URL in addition to (or instead of) email addresses.
Innovation - Ext JS Wordpress Theme Blog
17 Oct 07
A neat WordPress theme built with the Ext JS JavaScript Library.
The only Some things I see wrong with it from playing with the demo:
- It doesn’t make use of browser history (jQuery History/Remote plugin).
- The user cannot navigate from post to post without going back to the home page.
Some very cool features:
- Using the Extras menu the user can view all of the recent comments on the site in a new tab of the interface.
- The user can easily switch between color schemes (also found in Extras menu).

17 Oct 07
I can’t wait to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard.
I am most excited about:
- The finder updates including Quick Look
- Stacks
- iCal Updates
- Mail Updates - Maybe I will use it as more than an archiver for Gmail
- Time Machine
For all those Mac users out there, what features are you most excited about and will you upgrade right away or wait for the 10.5.1 updates? I am still undecided.
Check out Apple’s list of the more than 300 new features.
