Four years ago today: the email that started it all. Little-known fact: I started as a web design apprentice.

Would you be totally flabbergasted if we told you that in addition to rebuilding Vimeo from the ground up, we’ve ALSO constructed a brand new site for developers who want to rock the Vimeo APIs? Well, start flabbering your gasts* — because it’s true.

We’re happy to announce our brand new…

“It’s bizarre and troubling that no one in the federal government seems willing to provide a real justification for any of these bills others than “oooooh, it’s scary out there on the internet!!””

Morning, Moon, and Mercury

Last week Mercury wandered far to the west of the Sun. As the solar system’s innermost planet neared its greatest elongation or greatest angle from the Sun it was joined by an old crescent Moon. There the pair rose together in predawn skies, climbing high above the horizon along a steeply inclined ecliptic plane.

This well composed sequence captures the rising Moon and Mercury above the city lights of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. A stack of digital images, it consists of an exposure made every 3 minutes beginning at 4:15 am local time on April 19. Mercury’s track is at the far right, separated from the Moon’s path by about 8 degrees.

I’d like to launch an awareness campaign aimed at rude New Yorkers, written in a style they’ll understand, so that one day, maybe, they won’t be quite so shitty.

I should note that most New Yorkers are completely wonderful, caring people. It’s just that some of us seem to enjoy the “New Yorkers are assholes” thing a bit too much.

Rainbow.js

Rainbow.js:

josephschmitt:

Rainbow is a code syntax highlighting library written in Javascript. It was designed to be lightweight (1.2kb), easy to use, and extendable. It is completely themable via CSS.

By Craig. Super fast, light-weight, awesome, and theme-able at that. Expect lots of code rainbow-ing on this blog soon.

Also, Craig refuses to get on Twitter, so make sure to yell at him about it when you get a chance.
