Saw an amazing web campaign for Diesel Clothes that blew me away. I wonder how long and how much that took to make! This is the kind of stuff i’d love to do, although the video portion would probably have to be done by someone else.

Found a cool blog-like resource of cool AJAX and ‘web2.0′ applications and tools over at ajaxFlakes. Looks like it’s only been around since August but it already has 6 pages of cool helpful tools. I’ve already added it to my del.icio.us, will you?

Finally, a friend turned me on to this freelance hub called freelance switch that I thought was a great implementation of a job listing database. There’s definitely no shortage of such sites out there these days but something about how this is laid out and organized really made it easy to use. I’m not much one to actively look for freelance gigs but if I did I’ll be sure to check out this site first!

On their website they sell it as the “Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library” but the skeptic in me chose to determine that on my own. So I gave it a shot, tried animating some dropdowns using one of the tutorials on their site and I couldn’t believe it. In 3 lines I had finished what would have taken me a whole separate file to accomplish. Even more amazing was that it was set up in less than fifteen minutes, that alone makes this script gold to me. But there’s so much more it can do, i’ve hardly scratched the surface myself but had to write about this amazing time-saving library. I think things like this is the true direction of the “Web 2.0″ phenomenon, coding smarter and not harder. Write it once and use it forever, spend that extra time developing something even better, more usable and more accessible than we ever dreamed possible a short year ago. I’m keeping my eyes open for libraries such as this for other applications, I can see such libraries becoming as crucial to my arsenal of tricks as my stack of code snippets I pull from regularly.

Site Pro just released a new design for their site - http://www.sitepronews.com/ A cool resource for web scripts - http://protolize.org/ A free audio editor, anything this cool that’s free is pretty sweet - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
