I’m shocked it took me this long to finally start using it. The capabilities of Jquery are insane and they are sooo easy to implement it’s not even funny. The community surrounding this library is just as robust - there’s a plethora of plugins in the event the main Jquery and Jquery UI library doesn’t do what you need on its own. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, be sure to do so. It has been around for some time now:

http://jquery.com

Some good uses;
- Ajax loading
- Tooltips
- Animations
- Showing/hiding divs
- Swapping CSS classes on an element
- Toggling
- Much more.

I’m currently using it for Ajax, tooltips, drop downs, tabbed content boxes and lightboxes. Not bad :)

A re-tweeting exchange which motivates users to share content by rewarding them with credits to have their content shared. A little controversial, but I’m experimenting to see how it works.

Tweetake
A tool that will export all of your friends, followers, etc. into a CSV file that you can later use with your own tools to track unfollows, etc. A bit geeky, but it’s right up my alley. Enjoy!

Strange stick figures, originally uploaded by darkvipr.

I took a drive out to Campo, CA, which is about an hour east of San Diego and continued driving past it further out to the unincorporated area of Boulder Park. I was searching for abandoned buildings, and went down a no outlet road then saw something odd off the side of the road which you really had to be looking for to see. These stick figures were blocking tunnels below the road… I don’t get what they were doing there for, but thought it was both strange and a little frightening considering no one was really out there.
