This is just brilliant. It’s not scalling or cropping images, it’s more like dynamic recomposition. Having this in Photoshop would be game-changing. And later, when I’m able to do this dynamically on the web will be bazonkers. I’ll finally embrace liquid layouts with open arms.

I’ve been back from SXSWi for a little bit now, so I thought I’d write a recap before it fades into the sunset of my memory.
It was my first time there, and my first time at any web conference, actually, so everything was 100% fresh for me.
I’m heading off to Austin this Friday for SXSW Interactive. Megan will be staying behind to keep us in business, so I’ll be messing with Texas solo. So if you see a dude drunk with freedom… that won’t be me. I’m more likely to lose my confidence without my better half.
I can’t get this song out of my head. It’s from the second season of Ricky Gervais’ newest show Extras. I’ll try to catch you up. Gervais plays Andy Milman, a struggling actor who spends the first season working as an extra while being humiliated by the ‘real’ actors, and well meaning but daft friends who never fail to put their feet in their mouths or his. Andy is the brightest and most socially considerate among his group, but he’ll still find a way to sabotage his own efforts to get ahead, and somehow still remain at the bottom rung of his career.
I just launched the Colbert Nation store. Cover your dorm wall and man-teets with some sweet ultra-conservative schwag!
This has been a very busy and exciting summer for us, and probably the best example of that for me happened last month when we launched ColbertNation.com. As you might know, the site is the official fan site for The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. The show is insanely popular and I knew it already had a huge audience. That means there’s a lot of eyes watching as we launch and that there’s not much room for error. So of course since I was confident that everything I could control was all set, there would be problems with things out of my control.
Delete .svn folders on your Mac
Sometimes you need to get rid of .svn hidden folders on your Mac. In my case it was about resyncing my local working copy with client subversion repository. Everything was broken at both ends.
A couple of terminal commands to get rid of unneeded svn tracks:
cd /some/of/your/folders/
rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`For lazy typists: don’t forget that you can drag and drop folder from finder to terminal to populate path.
Removes spaces, other junk and prevents double dashes.

NOTE: this may be better handled with jQuery UI accordion

in firefox (and I think Opera and other browsers) an image inside an will have an unwanted 5px bottom padding.
a img { vertical-align:bottom; }
fixes it.
CiviCRM stores some paths in the database. Here’s where you can update the fields from within Drupal:
hostname/civicrm/admin/setting/path?reset=1
hostname/civicrm/admin/setting/url?reset=1
@dantropic Modular Scale now uses Ruby for most of its calculations. It's MUCH faster now, but we need Compass for that. / @scottkellum
