Shapecatcher: Draw the Unicode character you want!
Draw a shape and it tries to guess the Unicode character. It’s fun to draw a squiggle and find odd characters. Cow Face! (via Cal)

Cyberdelia/django-pipeline
Good-looking thing for compressing and concatenating CSS and JavaScript files with Django. Good documentation, handles LESS, SASS, CoffeeScript etc. Nice.

@secretbean I think you might be getting a bit over-excited...
@Zoonie Yeah, it all seemed a lot of fun at first, then got all Meaningful. ("Basil"?)
@secretbean I should know who that is, shouldn't I? I'm plainly a lost cause!
@phl I'm sure it will. But it also just seems like the default, unthinking choice for music, which is a shame.
@phl No, because they're already old-fashioned in the early 21st century, so seem even more bizarre sound tracking the 23rd.
Isn't it odd when the soundtrack music on a film set two centuries in the future is performed on string, brass and woodwind instruments.
@secretbean I don't have the DVD. It's OK. I think I just have a low tolerance for aliens and interplanetary warfare in SF.
@spaceboy Sounds like a flawless plan!
@spaceboy Hmm, I was swayed by Scottish political tendencies over the English, but yes, weather may be more important. Where to then?
Watching the recent Star Trek movie for the first time. Was enjoying it a lot until Romulans Vulcan Spock blah blah blah who cares.
@spaceboy Maybe we could give England to the Americans, and we can all move to Scotland?
@tomcoates Ha, I have the opposite problem with Echofon - iOS versions show at replies for a user, OSX version doesn’t. Maddening.

@hiutdenim They could at least spell your name right. Also, there shouldn’t be a space in “HistoryTag”. #mrpicky
@moleitau I plot the route on mapmywalk.com afterwards. bit.ly/xlTq6e I am also open to better, free, weightless solutions :)
Ran my first 5k earlier. Possibly ever, or possibly just the first since five years ago. Still alive.
