Super Simple Super Clean Social Icons

sociald

I googled it, I found it, I tweeted it, and I’m still stoked, so here’s a quick blog post : Simple Social Icons is an understatement of a title. Rather than reinventing the wheel over and over, why not use something as simple as this? It’s always nice when WordPress plugins do exactly what you were looking for, right? READ MORE

Facebook’s Year in Review – fun, or not so much?

Today is 12.12.12, WordPress 3.5 codename “Elvin” was released yesterday, and if you need any more of a hint that the world as we know it may be coming to a close, the Facebook has launched their (your) Year in Review today. Go there, and see a slideshow of your “top” (?) pictures from 2k12 , as well as the 20 most commented/liked things that you did this past year? In case you forgot about some key events of your past 300something days. For instance, without it, I would have probably failed to remember one of my top 20 events – that our water heater died at the end of February. Oh, the Facebooks… READ MORE

Bottling today, with an Estimated Arrival Date of Monday around the nation. READ MORE

Google’s Crisis Response Crisis Map

Yesterday was the first time I had ever experienced an earthquake while sitting in a movie theater (at least from what I can remember), and today was the first time I learned about Google’s Crisis Response Crisis Map. Coincidence? Whether you want to track Earthquakes around the globe, watch out for Tropical Storm / future Hurricane Isaac, or any of the other items tracked by the GDACS – Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System – that is the place. Someone should use the map & icons to simulate what it would have looked like throughout the course of John Cusask’s 2012…

I missed this one last week from Holiday Matinee, but I will certainly try to remember not to miss it this Thursday. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Sezio Brings Back the Golden Hill Street Fair

Am I allowed to take up some 937px of vertical blog post space with a rad poster? We’ll see, I guess. Props to Sezio for bringing back the Golden Hill Street Fair, next week Sunday July 22nd. With a lineup of Family Wagon, Jeans Wilder, Little Deadman, The Tree Ring, Cuckoo Chaos, and The Donkeys on the top spot, this should be a good one. Poster designed by Dylan Ousley.

Disable W3 Total Cache for Mobile User Agents

I know what you are thinking – W3 Total Cache is awesome – why would you want to NOT cache your WordPress site’s pages for Mobile users? The answer is, when you have a separate mobile-optimized version of the site all ready for them to view, but due to aggressive page caching, the redirects are not happening. READ MORE
