Favicons
Did you know that most modern web browsers allow any supported image format as a favicon if you use the <link />
tag? One of the many tidbits I picked up while developing Fever.

Shortwave for the paranoid
Uses a self-hosted JavaScript file as opposed to a plain text file to avoid passing through shortwaveapp.com. I would have called it “Tinfoil Hat.”
Unexpectedly Quit
Love the logo. Mike Essl does something productive with his Adobe Frustration CS3. I tend to exhibit Dark Seeker-like symptoms when using unresponsive apps: extreme aggression, elevated heart rate, hyperventilating, um, hair loss. (via)
Shortwave Firefox Search Plugin
While Safari allows you to access individual Bookmarks Bar items with Apple + [1-9]
keyboard shortcuts Firefox sadly does not offer an analog. So Brendan Borlase created a Search Plugin that passes commands to Shortwave. The best part? Apple + K
focuses the search field for mouse-free Shortwave surfing in Firefox too.

Song Summoner
Music × (Squenix + RPG) = frickin’ genius. I though about doing something similar as a Mint Pepper a while back. Mapping data from each of the default panes to different stats—Referrers to strength, Pages to agility, Searches to intelligence and Visits to hit points (obviously)—and then pitting Mint installations against each other. Shoulda-woulda-coulda.
Transmit. TextMate. Tabs
Double-good. (via)

Twitter snags Summize
Please keep the fail whale away from Summize, their search has been the only thing keeping Twitter usable (for me) these past few months. Here’s hoping the “Replies” tab just turns into a Summize search for @username. Ooh, and how about letting us customize that “Replies” tab search string?

CoconutBattery
Reports (among other things) the current capacity of your MacBook battery compared to its original capacity. Warning, what it finds may be disheartening.
