rnk's django-media-bundler at master - GitHub

Looks like this is the best media bundling Django app out there. Bundles and minimizes JavaScript and CSS, and also combines images into sprites, generating the CSS rules for using those sprites.

SitePen Blog » Reinhardt: a Client-side Web Framework

Django-inspired client-side we framework based on Dojo. I could see this general idea being pretty useful, though the weakness of JavaScript regexes (no named patterns) and function dispatch (no named parameters, only anonymous objects) makes the URL dispatch pretty weak.

Google Chrome, Google's Browser Project

I suspect that many years from now we'll refer to late 2008 as the start of “Browser Wars II”. That said, this looks pretty fucking sweet.

AJAX Libraries API - Google Code

Load popular JavaScript libraries off Google's servers - this'll make caching and speed issues irrelevant. Still, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about 'google.load(“jquery”)' — seems brittle.

Mark Finkle’s Weblog » Hello JS-CTYPES, Goodbye Binary Components

This is a pretty big deal: I've been using ctypes in Python for quite some time, and I can attest to how much better it is than writting C/C++ wrappers. XPCOM in particular is a total PITA, so js-ctypes should mean a bunch of new, awesome Mozilla plugins.

SIMILE | Timeline

A really nice (fast, clean) check-spelling-as-you-type JavaScript widget.

Dynamic Drive-YUI (Yahoo User Interface) Color Picker

Color-picker widgeet based on Yahoo's UI library. The code's kinda crappy, actually, but the idea is pretty good.
