Parental choice.

"You're not going to find as many people in there. And that's the point. Path isn't cluttered with self-promotional links or YouTube videos of sneezing cats. You're not going to see plug in games. And that's also the point. You're not going to see the glurge and hurge of illiterate rage and hash tag garbage. There's no bitching about not getting an iPad for Christmas. There's no call to re-post this as your status. No obnoxious comments from your hyper-political third-cousin twice removed. There's no tiresome, turgid competition for the best status updates as one-liners, or increasingly drunken series of 25 photos from last night's party.

In its place is private conversation. A few photos. Maybe a video. A location. A very small look at your friends' lives. A glimpse into the things they aren't sharing elsewhere. It is purely personal. And the thing is, I never realized that I needed that. But I do."

"If the world overwhelms you with its constant production of useless crap which you filter more and more to things that only interest you can I calmly suggest that you just create things that you like and cut out the rest of the world as a middle-man to your happiness?"

"I strongly encourage releasing reusable portions of your code - it’s the lifeblood of the developer community. Over the years, I’ve put together a set of best practices for releasing open source code, to make life easier partly for yourself but mainly for those who will use your code."

Quite upsetting.

Could have done with this recently. Next time.

...will probably stick with Colorbox, mind.

"The health service is portrayed as an intractable managerial nightmare. We spend so much time deploring the waste and inefficiency that we often forget that at the heart of the whole unwieldy system is a routine compassion, which is simply magnificent. And even more remarkable is that we attempt to guarantee this consideration to every person in the country who needs care."

Killing puppies.

"When you take the friction out of sharing, you also remove the value."

Lots of options here (although merging files sounds like a bad bad plan - merging commits is probably more sane).

"Have you ever wished you could style checkboxes, drop down menus, radio buttons, and file upload inputs?" Not really, no.

"Niceforms is a script that will replace the most commonly used form elements with custom designed ones." Oh dear.

I'd argue with a few of these (Transglobal Underground? Throbbing Pouch? Deep Forest?) but lots of goodness elsewhere in the list.

A well-structured styleguide. Need more of these.

Hybrid messenger/rucksack models.

These look solid but the military stuff is a vaguely annoying.

Good bag recommendations in the comments.

Tim Coates' ebook retail startup.

A bit nasty.

"Simple shell utility to convert html to pdf using the webkit rendering engine, and qt."

"Define breakpoints for your responsive design, and Breakpoints.js will fire custom events when the browser enters and/or exits that breakpoint." Timely.

Bugger.

Good idea. Works in browser.

Good idea. No Mac version yet.

"A cloud-enabled HTML5 Markdown editor". Hot. Wish it was native.

Much as I appreciate the effort that's gone into mediaelement.js, this looks worth exploring.
