The GeoJSON Format Specification: Interesting format for geospatial data. I think we'll be seeing more of these JSON specs... they're equivalent to XML DTDs, but designed for simplicity/human readability instead of machine processing.
NeverBlock: Non-blocking IO library for Ruby... although this *sounds* great, it's hard to know just whether this will actually lead to performance improvements. Didn't they just add a GIL to YARV?
Using CouchDB with Django: Add jQuery to the mix, and you've got a trifecta!
Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene: Yet another sexy image processing demo... the non-SteadyCam smoothing looks like the technique with the most potential, to me.
Java.next: Common Ground: This summary of everything Scala, JRuby, Groovy, and Clojure have in common is a good tutorial on the new wave in programming language design, moving away from formalisms and towards real utility.
Font Conference: This video is stupid funny. Type geeks will get it, non-type geeks may like it as well. Too bad they miscast the hero :)
Sinatra: Sinatra looks like an interesting framework, but I'll never even try it: not only do they use HAML (ugh), the site's javascript commandeers CTRL+L and other browser shortcuts. ANNOYING!!!
Django-Graphs: Finally, a server-side charting package designed to fit in with an existing web framework. All the other charting tools I've seen are either client-side JS or standalone servers.
jQuery Sparklines: I've been meaning to write one of these for *so* long. Hooray for the lazyweb!
Substance skins: Wow, slightly-more decent looking Java GUI themes. Why oh why can't SUN adopt one of these?
