I’ve been less active blogging and more engaged in other social media outlets (twitter, friendfeed, etc). My Friendfeed RSS is probably the best way to keep track of everything if you use feeds, or check this page.

Jonathan Coulton w/ Felicia Day! (Squee!) Lots of version of this floating around the tubes… but I think this has the best audio.
We’ve been doing a lot of js-based development on our project lately, and the more news like this, the better. Safari and Firefox have new JavaScript engines coming out that look really promising performance wise. In contrast, recently the ECMA group (that is in charge of the JS “standard”) abandoned their v4 plans to go with a less ambitious v3.1 of the JS language – maybe no the best decision, but I don’t think its the end of the world....
