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?
2008 Cannondale Bad Boy Ultra: My dream bike... I love that it's jet black, sort of understated, and yet it's got these freaky-expensive proprietary Cannondale parts all over it.
Identity Crisis in Computer Science Education: We've been having this discussion in the lab for some time - should our department be training software engineers, code gurus, or mathematicians? It's a hard problem; to be good at any CS subdiscipline, you need to have a bit of all the others.
Plainview: a full-screen WebKit browser: This could be really useful for presentations, when you just can't stand to have that extra browser chrome. Even the best mozilla browser for full-screen (Camino + MegaZoomer) can't match this.
Google AJAX Libraries API: FINALLY Google will be edge-caching jQuery... looking forward to seeing the immediate performance increase web-wide :)
