Convert Images to Base64 TextMate bundle
The page is in Catalan but the bundle is in English and pretty self-explanatory. Just drop the .tmCommand bundle file on TextMate.

Completely eliminates the need for that AppleScript droplet I was about to release.

IE8 concedes to the choir (and a company-wide mandate). This will please a lot of people. People who know better anyways. Because our job should be easier no matter how difficult it makes life for anyone else. You may now commence your victory laps.
"I’m calling this one the best shot of the entire Layer Tennis season."
Thanks John, can’t ask for nicer praise than that. Don’t forget to let the Coudal folks know who you think won today’s match-up. Update: This link now points a screenshot of my image at the time of volley (the archive page is missing the tandem navigation present when this image was designed).
It’s getting exciting now…
The players are up. The match previews are up. Only four more hours left to think up a reason to cut out of work early.

Lemur in the blue cap for the win. (via Eric on Twitter)
Flame-retardant
“If you feel the need to impugn the integrity or intelligence of another person to oppose an idea, you’re undercutting yourself, not your target nor the thing you oppose.” I want this on a t-shirt. Seriously. Can we make that happen?
