YouTube - Vader Sessions
Taking samples from James Earl Jones's back catalogue and dubbing them over Star Wars sure is funny.

You gotta love an album with an opening track called "CSS Suxx"... especially when it sounds this good.

Infovore : <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> considered harmful?
A cautionary note to Rails coders from Tom. The default JavaScript includes can really add to your page weight. Only include them if you really need all of them.

Accessibility Statement @ SoundsDirty.com
Bruce pointed out this porn site that doesn't turn away blind users. That gives it the moral high ground over Target, in my opinion. NSFW if your Wplace is prudish.
