Xian’s django_compressor
I’ve tried pretty much all of the Django CSS and/or JSS compression apps, and Christian Metts’ django_compressor looks like the winner to me. Why? Mostly because it doesn’t make me list all my CSS/JS files in my settings — it just reads it straight from the
Visitlinkandscripttags in my HTML templates. This is how it should be. Well-done, Xian! -
The EveryBlock iPhone app
The EveryBlock iPhone app has been released, and it’s pretty damn sweet. Joseph, Wilson, and the rest of the team did a real bang-up job, here. Love it.

In defense of Twitter
I agree with all these defenses of Twitter running around after Dowd’s trainwreck of an interview, but honestly: who gives a shit if some washed up journalists don’t like Twitter? Can’t we just tell them to suck it and keep on tweeting?

How the Other Half Writes: In Defense of Twitter
Geoff nails it. Frankly, anyone who dares to call suggest that Twitter somehow damages humanity is far too out and touch and (probably) too damn old for me to give a shit.

To Tweet or Not to Tweet - NYTimes.com
Ev and Biz talk Twitter with Maureen Dowd. End result: Dowd sounds like a raving bitch (I read her as serious, not snarky, but I could be wrong), and the Twitter boys come off as funny, good-natured, and not affected by her lunacy.

Sign in with Twitter
Now you can bitch and moan that such-and-such Twitter mashup app requires your username and password, because Twitter now offers OAuth in their API. They never did before, which is why all these Twitter-barnacle apps had to resort to shadily asking for your password.

Erik Spiekermann’s Typo Tips
Spiekermann has several typesetting tips for you. They aren’t likely to be new to readers of this site, or especially people who have seen one of my typography talks, but it’s still a nice resource to point to.
