I’ve noticed that there’s been a lot of new visitors reaching my site through searches for jQuery. Unfortunately I’m no jQuery expert. I’ve been using it to some success, but I’m still figuring out all its variables. Regardless, I learned all this by doing what you all are doing - searching. So I figured since I’ve accumulated a reasonable amount of links and tutorials that I should give back. There are great tutorial sites out there, but sometimes seeing something implemented within an active site and not a demo provides more insight. Plus, I’ve encountered numerous problems leading to solutions which might help as well.

Tour of California on Twitscoop
Hey look, a post! Twitter is good, and cycling is good. I write about their sweet tryst below.
I’ve been fascinated by the use of Twitter and being able to witness news and event trending in real-time. There are so many examples out there every minute of every day, but this one was near to my heart. The Tour of California (a bike race) is taking place at the moment in, well, California. Stage One just finished about an hour ago as of this writing and Fransisco Mancebo took the win. I wondered if there was any Twittering regarding the race and I wasn’t disappointed. I’ve included a shot of Mancebo’s win a little after crossing the line. You can definitely see the upward trend as the stage was concluding. I can’t get enough of this!

AppLove #1: Twhirl over Twitterific
Applications for the Mac are one of the main reasons I made the switch. From their interface, functionality, and their interaction with OSX they kick the code out of the PC. But as with everything, even my favorites have room for perfection.
Since I love giving my opinion to anyone unfortunate enough to listen (or read) I’m going to review some of my favorite and most used apps on my Mac. I also want to add some suggestions that I think would make them perfect. This is the first in the series of AppLove.
Recently my Twitter battle heated up as I wanted to do more than announce that I was coding, as usual. I also have two other accounts, one of them about to kick start into overdrive (I’ll explain later). I’ve been using Twitterific (free version) for the longest time and have loved it, but it doesn’t do multiple accounts on the same screen without switching accounts. Twhirl does handle multiple accounts though. I heard good things in the Twitterverse so I’ve made the switch.
