OverviewBanners2 (Field)
by Emaux
Field is a development environment for experimental code and digital art in the broadest of possible senses. While there are a great many development environments and digital art tools out there today, this one has been constructed with two key principles in mind:
Embrace and extend — rather than make a personal, private and pristine code utopia, Field tries to bridge to as many libraries, programming languages, and ways of doing things as possible. The world doesn't necessarily need another programming language or serial port library, nor do we have to pick and choose between data-flow systems, graphical user interfaces or purely textual programming — we can have it all in the right environment and we can both leverage the work of others and take control of our own tools and methods.
Live code makes anything possible — Field tries to replace as many "features" with editable code as it can. Its programming language of choice is Python — a world class, highly respected and incredibly flexible language. As such, Field is intensely customizable, with the glue between interface objects and data modifiable inside Field itself. Field takes seriously the idea that its user — you — are a programmer / artist doing serious work and that you should be able to reconfigure your tools to suit your domain and style as closely as possible.

Time Scales - GitHub
D3's time scale is an extension of d3.scale.linear that uses JavaScript Date objects as the domain representation. Thus, unlike the normal linear scale, domain values are coerced to dates rather than numbers; similarly, the invert function returns a date. Most conveniently, the time scale also provides suitable ticks based on time intervals, taking the pain out of generating axes for nearly any time-based domain.
Protester Films Polish Riots Using Drone 2011 - YouTube
Video showing a civilian operated drone chopper filming riots in Warsaw, Poland last Friday is a great example of the democratization of what was until very recently, military-grade tech. This is a straight up ISR drone that's flying high above the streets of a major city taking camera footage that was once the exclusive domain of high-priced news choppers and government helos

by emmanuelc & 4 others
HTML5 Boilerplate est un template HTML/CSS/JS de tueurs pour développer des sites rapides, robustes et éprouvés pour le futur.
Après plus de deux ans de développement itératif, vous avez à disposition les meilleures des meilleures pratiques concernant : la normalisation cross-browser, les optimisations de performance mais également des fonctionnalités optionnelles comme l'Ajax cross-domain ou Flash. Un fichier .htaccess de base pour Apache vous fournit d'emblée les règles nécessaires pour la mise en cache et prépare votre site à servir des vidéos HTML5, utiliser @font-face, et active le gzip automatique.
Boilerplate n'est pas un framework, il ne vous force dans aucune philosophe de développement, il contient juste de bonnes astuces pour que votre projet démarre rapidement et du bon pied.

It’s the end of the web as we know it « Adrian Short
The conclusion here should be obvious: if you really care about your site you need to run it on your own domain. You need to own your URLs. You’ll have total control and no-one can take it away from you. You don’t need anyone else. If you put the effort in up front it’ll pay off in the long run.

SmartViper - domain worth analyzer, historical statistics. Knowledge Is Power
by kathleen_vincent
Currently we use around 25+ open API sources researching the most popular domains and keywords. We store 402,365,128 records (for 3,511,870 domains) in our database and continue to grow.
Our goal is to help webmasters check their competitors and understand why their ranks are so high.
Besides that, on the basis of some of these conclusions we create useful summary tables for webmasters.

World map tool
simple tool for “remixing” a public domain world map available via Wikimedia (a Robinson projection in vector graphic format that shows all U.N. member states). After this map was chosen for use in a university web project, we had a need to refactor it in various ways. This script automates most of the operations that we require.
