Web excursions: January 3 — January 4

Links of interest from January 3 through January 4:

• redo
  I wasn’t at this wedding, but my friend (and awesome photographer) Peter Boysen was, and he captured this moment. If you look at it for a while, you can see a good 5-minute story in one frame.
• Site-Specific Email Addresses
  Some smart email/GMail tips from TUAW’s TJ Luoma.
• Markdown Primer — TUAW
  TUAW mentions Markdown often enough that we thought we should have our own “Intro to Markdown” we could point people to.
• Advanced SimpleNote: Collaborating, Blog posts, and Advanced Applications
  Collaborative note editing tips, and a good bit on Scrivener with Notational Velocity. Cool stuff, and the post was written in nvALT!
• scottjacksonx/mobile-dl — GitHub
  A roll-your-own Instapaper for rich media, using SimpleNote and some scripting.
• WordPress As Riskiest Web Software In 2010
  “Un-patched anything is going to be attacked.” Dead on, especially the last paragraph.
• jlbfalcao/js-beautify-v8.tmbundle — GitHub
  v8 jsbeautify bundle for TextMate. Has a few dependencies to install, but there are brew formulas for everything. Nice.
• Head JS :: The only script in your HEAD
  Another parallel javascript loader. Looks pretty good, I’ll give it a shot on my next web app project.
• gfxmonk/python-readability — GitHub
  A very good port of Arc90’s Readability in Python. Pipe this through html2text and you can pull the main content of any well-formed page as a Markdown note. nvALT importer? Yes.
