This is a snippet of code I’ve been using for awhile to generate LESS based CSS and compress it upon request. It really works well on a custom origin point with AWS Cloudfront.

I’ve been toying around with a few HTML5 apps and one of them might even make it out of the toy stage.
As I’m doing the development on my app I’ve also had to start thinking about the business side of the equation. I’ve come to the conclusion that using the same sales/business model for HTML5 mobile apps …

A while back I wanted to see every tweet a specific twitter users posts, but clicking on that user specifically was like watching blogs pre RSS reader days.

I had an idea that was born from playing with the html5boilerplate as I rebuild an existing site.

There are a number of search engines that are exposing their results as RSS feeds. From this I had an idea and built a little app at work that collected RSS posts from about 40+ search engines to help track brands across the internet.
