TTMMHTM: Barcamps, datasets, social mentions and Python in JavaScript

Things that made me happy this morning:

• “10 steps to organising a barcamp”:http://www.cleverclevergirl.com/?p=10 has great info on exactly that
• the “social mention API“:http://code.google.com/p/socialmention-api/wiki/APIDocumentation covers several social networks and allows you to search for keyterms
• I want the 8gb Lego minifig thumb drive
• A great “peek into the process how classic computer games were built”:http://www.offworld.com/2009/08/offworld-gallery-the-games-fac.html including Mario, Tetris and Pong
• A “Stormtrooper singing in the rain”:http://jwz.livejournal.com/1074666.html
• A “great list of open datasets”:http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=764982
• “Undop”:http://collison.ie/blog/2009/08/undop is a tool to stop you from wasting too much time on those sites that normally make you do that
• “Skulpt is a Python parser in the browser”:http://www.skulpt.org/ – whoa!
• The “Google Wave API roadmap”:http://groups.google.com/group/google-wave-api/msg/59df6995cf796b62?pli=1 is now available
• The YouTube Data API “now supports captions”:http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_captions.html
