I did a REALLY informal poll on Twitter to see which browser people consider their primary browser. I’ve listed the results below. The “Browsing” category is what I consider results for a “primary” browser in terms of general day-to-day use while “Development” is the primary browser used to build web applications or help you in your job:

Browsing:

Firefox: 9 Chrome: 25 Safari: 10 IE: 2 (including @getify) Opera: 1

Development:

Firefox: 10 Chrome: 0 Safari: 0 IE: 1

I picked up Gary Vaynerchuk’s new book “Crush It!“. I had the pleasure of seeing Gary give a presentation at FOWA Miami and the man can totally get you pumped up. So I really wanted to get this book to understand more about what drives him and if it’s something that can help me in my professional and personal life.

I have some downtime at the moment so I wanted to get back to coding a little bit. One of the things I’ve been wanting to mess around with for some time is the Flickr API, mainly because I upload a boatload of pics to the service. Chris Heilmann posted a really great tutorial on pulling back pics using JSON and plain ole JavaScript. I have to admit that it was insanely easy and Chris, as always, did a great job of breaking it down. I made a few tweaks since, as he mentioned, document.write isn’t the best choice for outputting and the code was trivial:

function jsonFlickrFeed(o){ var i = 0, mainDiv = "", foo = ""; mainDiv = document.getElementById( "main" ); while(o.items[i]) { foo = document.createElement( "img" ); foo.setAttribute( "src", o.items[i].media.m ); main.appendChild( foo ); i++ } }
