Wrap text around an image with jQSlickWrap
Neat jQuery plugin that makes it dead simple to wrap text around an image. The key point here is that it will actually wrap the text around the contents of the image, not just the bounding box of an image.

Google Chrome’s view source “oddity”
Viewing the source of a page on Google Chrome is, for the most part, a terrific experience. Chrome supports syntax highlighting of the underlying code of a page making it much more readable for us geeks while we look under the hood.
However, something I’ve run into of late is that it doesn’t work very well [...]
CodeIgniter is fast

Code Igniter vs. CakePHP – An overview by Jonathan Snook
Speaking of Code Igniter, Jonathan Snook (way back in March 2007) compared it to CakePHP. Although both frameworks have matured slightly since then, this overview still holds up ok – although he is a fan of CakePHP where I’d choose Code Igniter. Thank goodness for choices.

A PHP Wrapper for Freewheel.tv’s API
