Can someone make a Yahoo! Pipe that will omit posts from Boing Boing that mention the author of the post in the title?
I’ve found that 99% of the time, such posts are just the authors fluffing their personal projects.

How to do an Atom linkblog
John Gruber is having some Atom linkblog troubles over at Daring Fireball.
Mark Pilgrim’s “How to make a linkblog in Atom” is a little dated (some of it is specific to Atom 0.3), but the part about using rel="alternate" to point to the permalink (on your blog) and using rel="related" to point to the item you’re linking (on another site) is still valid. It’s up to the feed reader to present that to the reader in an appropriate manner.
Here’s how NetNewsWire handles rel="related" in Daring Fireball’s Atom feed:
One benefit of doing it this way (besides following the Atom spec) is that it allows John to post multiple rel="related" links per entry. Another is that it would be consistent (clicking the title of the entry would always take you to DF). And lastly, it would also allow John to drop the (now redundant) hyperlinked “hash” (#) at the end of the entry.
Simon Willison on jQuery
Simon Willison has a great writeup on jQuery for JavaScript programmers. WordPress has caught the jQuery bug, and we will be rolling out its implementation more and more as we iterate versions. Simon’s post has a good sampling of the kind of stuff you can do with jQuery. My advice is to combine FireBug with jQuery for “live” learning.

Arm wrestling with Darcie is a rite of passage for b5media employees (or a rite of non-passage for those who fail). My turn came at Gnomedex 7.0
Thanks to Randy Stewart for manning the camera.
