Since the beginning of time (the days I started programming), I have always been fascinated by the demoscene world (http://www.scene.org/). If you aren't familiar with the Assemblee competition, have a look at http://www.tigsource.com/features/assemblee/. These guys and gals have some pretty awesome games and you should definitely try them out and vote for your favourite!
I am routing for Backworld! Bunnies are awesome!
Looking through my list of tweets this morning, I discovered that Mr. Hanselman had a look at the Image Lazy Loading Plugin.
"Lazy loader is a jQuery plugin written in JavaScript. It delays loading of images in (long) web pages. Images outside of viewport (visible part of web page) wont be loaded before user scrolls to them. This is opposite of image preloading."
That's pretty awesome don't you think? definitely worth the while to go and check out. Don't you just think JQuery plugins are awesome and easy to use?
Moving on...
If you haven't heard...Mass Effect 2 is hitting the shelves today!
