Xbox Live Gamer API
My sharpshooter status aside, I've always been surprised upset that Microsoft has never provided an API for the vast amount of information about users, the games they play, and statistics within the games. Namely, I'd like to publicly shame every n00b I've baptized with my...

The Interactive Date Range Picker is impressive!
I used to be a mootools fan myself but now i’m migrating to jquery. There are tons of useful plugins and they’re all gathered on jquery’s homepage, so you don’t need to run for them allover the www. :)
