I'd like to say that I have an excuse for not posting in months, and I do . Unfortunately, I can't announce it for another two months, but it's fairly huge, and something that anyone in mobile development will be more than excited for.
Now that you are excited and can't wait for me to spill the beans, I will distract you with links to some incredibly cool things that you should know about a la LinkPost style (yeah, I'm a little cruel sometimes).

Google I/O 2012 is in JUNE and it's THREE DAYS! June 27-29th 2012 - Check the official blog post ^[1] for details.

Using CSS3 to animate web banners (annoying yes, but the geek factor is off the grid!... yeah, bad and wicked late tron joke) - Check out this page ^[2] and learn about it.

Knifeparty ^[3] is ridiculously awesome if you likes the dub(ub-wub-wuuuuub-wub-ub-ubuwub)step! They released a free EP called 100% No Modern Talking which can be yours by visiting their website and giving them an email to spam (that requires no validation...).  There is some language on "Internet Friends", but to each their own.  In case you wondered, Knifeparty is two members of the freakishly awesome band pendulum, so you know they are good.

Derezzed on floppy drives ^[4]... Man why did we kill these things? analog tech has such a good sound!

A post from WebResourcesDepot ^[5] on the CSS3 presentation machine named impress.js, I love the trade-shows lately that give their presentations inside of a browser.  Just makes powerpoint look as dated as it is.  Amazing work, check it out.

Now that I work on a mac I have learned that life without XAMPP sucks.  MAMP is workable, but I have an aversion to forking out money to access the apache server that is built into OSX.  Luckily there is a much cooler alternative that isn't nagware and that will help you auto-install tons of webapps (including joomla and wordpress).  Check out AMPPS ^[6], easy, free, and works on linux, mac, and windows. Good News! @blender has pointed out in the comments that XAMPP is totally mac ready and available, check it out ^[7] and live life happy again!

I hate to glom onto other talent, but another post from webresourcesdepot is right up there on the awesome charts.  Everything you need for node.js (my new favorite scripty server language).  Go to his node.js post ^[8], revel in his links, built something useless, then something cool, and then something useful

That's all for now, but there are plenty more.  Over at CSS-Tricks Chris has started a new podcast called ShopTalk, and they have already interviewed the Johnathon Snook (if you don't know of Mr. Snooks work, you need to leave right now and Google it.  I don't even mind, I give you my permission, go, go now and do it!).  Head over to the podcast ^[9] and listen to it, remember they take questions and answer them so if you are stumped, give it a go and see if your question can get solved by some truly great minds on the web.

Lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY E-COM DEVBLOG!  That's right, this makes year number 4 of me and my crew wrecking the internet and putting it back together the way it was meant to be with tips, links, tutorials, and the occasional waste of time.  It's been a great four years and I hope that we can keep the magic going for another four.  Hang out because I have a feeling that this year is going to be one of the best years the internet has ever seen.  And don't worry about that Mayan 2012 thing, I heard it straight from the aliens that abducted Elvis to make him their ruler, it's a total hoax
