Sometimes our sites need a little sprinkling of content management. Not always. Not a lot. But a bit. The CMS market is thriving with affordable, approachable products, so we’re not short of options. […] Sometimes, though, it’s nice to use a really simple tool that anyone updating content on the site is already familiar with, rather than getting to grips with a new CMS. I like Trello a lot for managing ideas and tasks. And it has an API. Why not use it as a content source for a web site? I mean, hey, if we can do it with Google Sheets, then what’s to stop us from trying other things?

I made this blog. The irreverent “Unnamed Temporary Sports Blog Dot Com” is underwritten by a password-security company and features not-so-subtle digs at Deadspin’s bosses.

How to make an incredible ‘native web app’.

The Windows and Android communities need to better understand why so many of us choose Apple, and the Apple community needs to better understand the large market of people who can’t or won’t.

An interview with the chillwave-obsessed Romanian blogger of Warmer Climes.

I wrote this guest post for the Kodak blog. I think they are sending me free Kodak single-use cameras in exchange.

“Matthew McVickar decided to send a camera through the mail, these are the images it captured.”

“Tumblr2WP makes it super simple to transfer your Tumblr content to your own, self-hosted WordPress install. This tool will create a WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) file from your tumblr site which can be imported into WordPress.”

This is pretty traditionalist but she's pretty right.

A fantastic music blog, with expertly crafted thematic mixes, often centered around certain periods in music. A great source for inspiration and knowledge for the music-obsessive.

Just for reference.

A very useful PDF workflow for OS X that allows you save a dated and custom-titled PDF of a receipt (for something you buy online) from the Print dialog.

Excellent pieces on Deerhunter's Microcastle, M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes", and Wale's "Mixtape About Nothing." Easily one of my favorite music writers. I think it's the ethnomusicology background.

The lost art of laser-informed portraiture. Plenty to like here. Especially the guy with the ladder.

On the stress of full-time blogging.

"If I was in a band I would write a slow song with an 808, reverb, and a female vocalist, and call that song 'Zach Braff’s Eyes Reflected in My Nano.'"

Lodwick and pals debate capitalism through Tumblr. "This proves not only that Tumblr is a good platform for public debates, but that true debate on the Internet is possible." Didn't doubt that, but this is interesting.

An interesting personal homepage.

FSJ posts on the photo my friend Dean took of the UMass antipiracy campaign poster.

"Your guide to understanding Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and other highly Advanced musicians." If a genius does something you don't understand, it's probably even more genius.

In food, wall sockets, lamps, buildings, trees, tents. More fun and uncanny than you think it'll be. Why does it cheer us up to see human expressions in inanimate objects?

Persai is the Web 2.0 app of the guys who write Uncov. They've been pre-blogging the app for months now. I'm not sure how many people are reading this because I've seen zero mention of it anywhere, but it's a nice model to follow anyway.

Design inspiration.

On the merits and shortcomings of Adsense, and how to use it successfully.

"PLZ BE RESPECTING FEUDALIZM"

Weblog by Khoi Vinh, Design Director for The New York Times website and champion of grid-based web design.

“'That is one of the mistakes a lot of people make -- believing that uncensored speech is the most free, when in fact, managed civil dialog is actually the freer speech,' he said. 'Free speech is enhanced by civility.'"

"...we got together with our favorite mash-up artist, team9, and concocted a Year In Review bastard pop mix featuring 2006's most notable ear candy. You'll hear blog faves mashed for the first time, and a bit of classic rock thrown in for good measure."
