www.youtube.com Click this to watch Creepy Doll (World of Warcraft Machinima)! Code Monkey (World of Warcraft Machinima) This is a music video about the life of the common lowlands code monkey. Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his Thing A Week podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year. Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who though this great song really deserved a video. Before you ask, since apes, goblins, and night elf receptionists don't tend to interact much in the wild, I couldn't only use captured game footage to make this video. Every frame of this video was composited together by hand using images captured from the WoW Model Viewer, WoW Map Viewer, and the World of Warcraft game itself. No monkeys were harmed in the making of this film. Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more information about my videos, including info about how I make them. The song at the end of the video is Big Bad World One, another great Jonathan Coulton song.

Google Tech Talks Web Exponents presented by Steve Souders March 5, 2009 blog post: google-code-updates.blogspot.com This is the second talk based on Steve's next book, Even Faster Web Sites, the follows-up to High Performance Web Sites. The first talk presented three new best practices: Split the Initial Payload, Load Scripts Without Blocking, and Don't Scatter Inline Scripts. The most important of these is loading external scripts without blocking other downloads and preventing page rendering. One complication is this may introduce undefined symbol errors if inlined code uses symbols from the external scripts. Luckily, there are several techniques to workaround this problem. That and other topics will be covered in this presentation of three more best practices: * Coupling Asynchronous Scripts * Use Iframes Sparingly * Flush the Document Early Speaker: Steve Souders Steve Souders works at Google on web performance and open source initiatives, and previously served as the Chief Performance Yahoo!.
