Web excursions: December 10 — December 26

Links of interest from December 10 through December 26:

• Dontcom — HTML5 Boilerplate TextMate Template Bundles
  Handy HTML5 boilerplates as TextMate templates.
• Why you don’t like changes to your design — The Oatmeal
  This Oatmeal strip, like many of theirs, will stick to my ribs for a good while.
• Exploring the Simplenote API — And now it’s all this
  The SimpleNote API is as simple as you’d expect it to be. This is going to burn some hours of playtime.
• Bing Query Language
  Don’t get me wrong about my love for Google, there’s a lot to love about Bing, too.
• Google’s AROUND Operator for Proximity Search
  I love the advanced syntax Google offers, but I’d never heard of this one. Search for words within a certain proximity of each other with AROUND(x). Very cool.
• Position Absolute, web apps and front-end stuff — stackJS, a javascript module loader and dependencies handler «
  Modular loading of JavaScript with dependencies. Looks great.
• JavaScriptMVC
  I’m starting to leave behind large, anonymous jQuery functions filled with DOM events, and this looks like a great way to start.
• How to Use and Tweak Reader Mode in Safari — How-To Geek
  Neat, I had no idea that Antique would work with the Windows version of Safari!
