nakedgremlin··on I would have quit Pinboard in early 2011 if (...)
Of all the pricing structures, I really enjoyed Maciej's approach. From the site:

Users pay a one-time signup fee of around ten dollars. The fee goes up by a fractional penny with each new user.

The signup fee helps keep the site from growing too fast, and keeps Pinboard spam-free.

nakedgremlin··on OnLive comes to Ouya, Controller Makes Full Frontal Debut
I absolutely love it. Two player Harry Potter was glitchy, but other experiences (ie. Borderlands, DarkSiders) all performed perfectly. One of the big bonuses was the fact that it's almost device agnostic -- you can play certain games on touch screen, PCs, Macs, and on the OnLive device itself.
nakedgremlin··on Seamless iframes: The future, today
This is really good stuff. Lots of practical hints and methods to get seamless iframes kosher.

Kinda curious to see the 'hastily written demo' (slide 38)...

nakedgremlin··on Building an Animated HTML5 Rocket in 4 Days – A Kicksend Story
Ha! You need to sign up for the service to see the final animation. Bravo! Bravo Kicksend! Braaaavo!

You got a sign up coming your way.

nakedgremlin··on JQuery 2.0 Drops Support for IE6/7/8; API-Compatible with jQuery 1.9.
I love this product roadmap write up!

Explanations littered with reasoning and also a code-level solution for something that won't be an issue until one year down the road. Hopefully that 93KB (un-Gzipped) beast can be knocked down a bit with 2.X.

nakedgremlin··on Microsoft.com New Design Preview
That is an impressive adaptive site design update.

A couple of things I love about this is (1) the elegance of the menu toggle to top in the small (mobile-size) view and (2) the slideshow control appearance on small view and adaptation to breadcrumb implementation on large view. Quite elegant and appropriate for each environment.

Of course, it is sad that the experience is rarely consistent when you start digging deeper into the site.

nakedgremlin··on JsDelivr - Free CDN for javascript and jQuery plugins
Seems odd/good that so many CDNs are popping up for JavaScript. I stumbled across this one recently (http://www.cdnjs.com/) along with the ones provided by stalwarts like Google and Microsoft.
nakedgremlin··on Responsive.is
Very impressive.
