Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are little peices of javascript disguised as bookmarks that you can run on any site. They let you do things like Resize forms. You can test it out by dragging it into your bookmarks toolbar and trying it out on the comments section.

Other good bookmarklets I’ve come across are:

  • BugMeNot for getting past registration quickly on large sites.
  • is.gd for making urls smaller, similar to tinyurl except an even smaller url.
  • You can also download videos from youtube and other places with this link (not a bookmarklet)

Dr.Horrible

Go watch Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
It will be down at midnight tomorrow because they’re selling it after that.

It’s from the maker of Firefly, Joss Whedon. and hasĀ Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother among other things, Felicia Day who I know from The Guild, and Nathan Fillion from Firefly.

And no, musicals are still bad.
