Forrst: Where Designers Who Code meet Developers Who Design | Carsonified
Our very own Kyle has a cool new community for hackers and designers who actually build stuff. If you’re someone like that, ask him for an invite (or ask me and I’ll pass it along).
Come join an already awesome group of developers and designers. If you’d like an invite, just ask!
I’m not going to lie to you, once this is a bit more fleshed out, I hope github buys this.

These guys are so good it’s crazy. The UI is great, it’s easy to see what’s going on, and what’s popular, from what region, etc. But that’s not the crazy good part.
Remember when flickr launched stats? You had to go to their stats page, click “See stats” or something similar and then you were greeted with a window saying, “check back tomorrow while we calculate your stats.”
Vimeo just launches it.
As always, Vimeo does it again.
Bot Ted
I think that I was just unsuccessful at convincing someone I was a real person and not a bot.
Introducing Hairball
I frequently want to make web posts of a very nerdy variety (yes, nerdier than the stuff I post already). However, I know that most of my tumblr friends are probably not that interested in that type of thing. So I’ve decided to put it off in its own silo at ted-is-a-nerd.tumblr.com. It will auto import some of my other nerdy content from elsewhere and will be a reasonable place to keep up to date with that type of thing. So follow away if you’re into that type of thing.
Here’s my inaugural post announcing the launch of a new thing, Hairball!
After finishing the first draft of my book on the realtime web, I wanted to take a break and build something different. So I spun my wheels for about a week before deciding on a new project.
Then it hit me, “I should write an HTTP server and simple web framework… and I should write it using… wait for it… common lisp.”
It’s Hairball!
It supports long polling connections (suitable for ‘realtime’ web apps), it’s single threaded, scalable (perhaps), and fun to play with. I plan on getting it to a point where it’s suitable for production web development… if you’re the kind of guy who wants to do that in lisp.
For now, visit the official site and grab it from github.

MS and Oracle's big dev tools - who needs 'em? • The Register
Emacs, Vim, and other editors have basic syntax highlighting and code navigation for an even broader set of formats despite the fact that they lag behind IDEs in features.
It takes a special kind of chutzpah to say that emacs has less features than... well... anything.
