I’ve Finally Caved: Twitter
I've been holding off on Twitter because I see how obsessed people get with it. Some people post every few minutes...WTF? That said, I've let my gaurd down and become a Twitterer. If you care to, you can follow me at:

I wont be twittering about just web, although that will probably be the bulk of it. You'll see my thoughts on how I find it absolutely insane the Packers chose Aaron "Out-For-The-Season-Twice-In-Three-Years-And-I've-Only-Played-In-Five-Games" Rodgers over The Legend, how great I am at soccer, and how furious I get when failing GTAIV missions.
Anyways, follow at will!
![How I Stopped WordPress Comment Spam]()
I love almost every part of being a tech blogger: learning, preaching, bantering, researching. The one part about blogging that I absolutely loathe: dealing with SPAM comments. For the past two years, my blog has registered 8,000+ SPAM comments per day. PER DAY. Bloating my database...
![fetch API]()
One of the worst kept secrets about AJAX on the web is that the underlying API for it, XMLHttpRequest, wasn't really made for what we've been using it for. We've done well to create elegant APIs around XHR but we know we can do better. Our effort to...
![FileReader API]()
As broadband speed continues to get faster, the web continues to be more media-centric. Sometimes that can be good (Netflix, other streaming services), sometimes that can be bad (wanting to read a news article but it has an accompanying useless video with it). And every social service does...
![Fading Links Using jQuery: dwFadingLinks]()
UPDATE: The jQuery website was down today which caused some issues with my example. I've made everything local and now the example works.
Earlier this week, I posted a MooTools script that faded links to and from a color during the mouseover and mouseout events.
Hmm to follow with my site’s account, or my personal account… Maybe you’ll end up with two extra followers if I can’t make up my mind.
Well it’s about time you came in from the dark!!! First Twitter and now jQuery. Oh my! Can the Internet hold up?!?! ;)
@Ray: Hey man, I even tried to install Ubuntu the other day. I’m branching out, trying new things. That said, Moooooo!

I have on twitter for a while and have to say i started with following a bunch of people and it does get ridiculous, random twits are aggravating, but I guess to each his own; now I’m down to following 12 people and about 120 followers…but I read your blog all the time and have to say you will be the next follow.
I dont follow much people on twitter so does people dont follow me much on twitter. But having a great people in your list is better than have crap and maggot inside in your list. And for sure David is a great person to follow. Gimme five!
It’s sad to see people writing random bullshit every 5 minutes
