Wat
Gary Bernhardt is smart and funny. I’ve watched this short presentation a bunch of times, and it always does two things for me. Firstly, it makes me laugh. Second, it makes me want to be a better software developer. I want to know the things he knows.

This is possibly one of the coolest ways to gather data I’ve ever seen. The automated phone call was so cool! Hats off, Panic!
Firefox <input> styling
A coworker just pulled me over to help with a javascript issue, and I noticed on his screen that some of our input elements looked totally whacked out in Firefox. Not so in -webkit. I dug around a bit and found this handy reset:
input::-moz-focus-inner,
button::-moz-focus-inner { padding:0; border:0; }
Now the buttons are happy in both browsers! Hooray!
jQuery Waypoints
Waypoints is a small jQuery plugin that makes it easy to execute a function whenever you scroll to an element.
Found a link to this awesome looking plugin from @noel on Twitter. Sounds incredibly useful.
