Some of Joey’s favorites include the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto so you can sync your photo library easily with your facebook account, where you can tag, title, add description all within iPhoto. Use the Interactive Friend Thing or the FriendVis v2 to map a list of friends in your social sphere. Or you can map your friends hometown on Google maps with Friend Mapper. Hey, we almost love developers as much as Steve Balmer!

  • On this Day

  • Today, April 5th is Happy CSS Naked Day! “The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of xhtml, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good ‘ol play on words. It’s time to show off your body.” It’s fun to be a geek! We talk about Web Developers aesthetic basics and tell the children down with Myspace, go Virb (no more tables please!) On a sidenote, we thank CrazyEgg for updating our accounts for free!
