What's New in Python 2.6: There are some nice looking features in the latest Python. I like, too, that they are providing some of the backwards compatible features of Python 3.0 here, too. (Via simonwillison.net.)
Facebook Developers Wiki -- New Design Integration Guide: A guide to migrating Facebook apps to the new Facebook profile. Nothing new here for those who do Facebook app development and spend a lot of time on Facebook, but a useful resource nonetheless.
Python's Makefile: I'm thinking about build tools and build systems for web sites lately. Especially being at a new job, with a few sites and a few developers. Reading something earlier from Bicking made me discover this one, and I'm saving it mostly for the CSS/JS compression command via setup.py example code. Part of me thinks a collection of commands in a single setup.py command might work for us in Vegas.
doctype - Google Code: Google Doctype is, in Mark Pilgrim's own words, "an encyclopedia for web developers by web developers." Looks very cool. There are several parts to this. The first is using the wiki component of Google code hosting to document the Web (document from the developer's perspective). It's like Wikipedia just for web development. The second part is a library of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML reference code, largely a set of tests. It does include "goog" which looks to be a JavaScript library akin to YUI or mootools. Also, I was struck by Mark Pilgrim calling himself a "technical writer" in the Doctype video I just watched. There's a lot to use and understand here, and I'm only just beginning to read through all this. (Via Simon Willison.)
Out to Pasture -- White Paper on VW Platform Evaluations: I find myself agreeing with Giff, even though I've had some criticisms of the virtual-world-in-a-browser posts earlier. I do think the space between the Web and the virtual world is an interesting area in which to work, and I love to see someone develop in this area. Right now, it's an all or none proposition -- you either work on the Web or in a virtual worlds. I think sites could build in some of the social aspects of an immersive 3D experience and see positive results in the blend.
