Dynamically executing QUnit tests against existing pages

One of the problems bothering me for a while was the inability to run tests against existing pages using most Javascript frameworks.

It was important, [...]

Airport Security | Kimmons.TV

 
A friend of mine started his own blog and posted a good article (with many references) on the whole TSA security screening controversy.

 
As anyone who has watched the news during the past week knows, the TSA has implemented new search procedures. Of these methods, the AIT machines (which come intwo flavors) and the enhanced pat [...]

Why Sunday’s Suck (as in draining my wallet!)

Maybe it’s because I don’t go with my wife to Church on Sunday’s (even though it’s not my religion). Maybe it’s because it’s April. I don’t know. All I know is the past three Sundays have been expensive.

How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell – The Oatmeal.
Really funny and sadly true stories of how great web designs get perverted into something less optimum. I’ve seen stuff happen similar to this comic but not quite by the same people. In some cases by people with a lot of money and big egos.

Marking the 50th anniversary of the first U.S. nuclear meltdown – Los Angeles Times.
Better question is have they cleaned up the area yet? Is it safe for the thousands of people that live in the Chatsworth, Santa Susana, West Hills, and Simi Valley area’s surrounding the site?

Smackshopping’s final smack down on Feb 16th

Jellyfish.com notified it’s users today via email that they will be shutting down their Smackshopping portal  effective Feb 16th. With the rise in popularity of Swoopo.com looks like Smackshopping has lost it’s appeal. I always wondered how Jellyfish could maintain a user base on anything other than their once a day contests.
Here is the official [...]
