Found a sweet
Flickr tag browser though Photoflavor. Definitely worth a look. I love how responsive it is, and the zoom-into-what’s-important aspect.

Just stumbled across a blog on serious debugging techniques for ASP.NET that I really wish had been around when I was doing serious ASP.NET work. The tips and advice on Tess’ blog are priceless.

I follow a lot of photo blogs and they pretty much all have Previous / Next buttons. The problem, generally, is that they hop around as picture sizes change, so as you’re poking back through a blog, you have to keep repeating the find-the-link-move-the-mouse dance. It would be great if folks had keyboard shortcuts for this kind of thing.

Thanks to greasemonkey, if you’re using Firefox, you can install a great userscript called Next/Previous Navigation that works with just about any site that uses the standard “previous” and “next” text inside their links. It even works with my little photoblog. I *heart* greasemonkey.

Update: This little guy caused a pretty serious memory leak in my Firefox instance and I’ve since uninstalled it. If you’re using it, you might want to watch how much memory Firefox is using to see if you’re running into a similar problem. I notified the author, but have not received a response as of yet.

Now this is a lens. And only a measly ~$100K. Why visit Nyack when I can see it just fine from this side of the river.

Penzey’s has a very interesting analogy between wasabi and turtles. Yeah.
