Some websites I have found interesting (in no particular order):

Django tip: Caching and two-phased template rendering — I’ve been wondering for a little while why this isn’t more built into frameworks like Django and Rails. It makes perfect sense! (Though I was going to try it with PHP)

User friendly popup based OpenID sign-in experience — I think this is definitely the direction OpenID needs to go in. Instead of sending people to a completely different page, do the sign in in a pop up window (though I think they should actually use an iframe).

Security Alert: Twitter Porn Names Scam — This is brilliant. A stupid meme that is a disguise for getting your answers to common security questions.

Shifting My Opinion On CSS Animations — I was in the same boat as Jonathan when the Webkit team announced CSS animations. CSS isn’t the place for this! But now I have realized that CSS is the perfect place for “animation effects” that aren’t the behaivor themselves but just make the transitions between styles pretty. CSS is for how it looks!

Have something to say in response to this post?

Send me an email or Tweet about it.
