[Consolidates and optimizes CSS in a way which I’ve not seen before][link]. Which is cool, but it would be nice if it could convert it BACK so humans could read/edit it easily. Check the examples, you will be glad you did. Hey, it does do that.

[The short list of grievances][link]: Twitter doesn’t support it, and may never. HTML5 omits `rev` entirely. Atom uses the `self` attribute for the very purposes that `rev=”canonical”` might be used for.

If you want to try out the Nintendo Wii [Homebrew Channel][wii], you’ll need to do the [Twilight Hack][th]. To do that, you need a Fat-16 formatted SD card. Here’s the command to format the card on Mac OS X (1.5 and 10.6):

>`diskutil partitionDisk /Volumes/WII 1 MBRFormat “MS-DOS FAT16” “WII” 1000M`
Where `WII` is the name of the drive. The `1000M` at the end is how big you want the partition to be, but if the card only has one partition, it will use the whole card, anyway.
