jQuery, Microsoft, and Nokia:

Microsoft is looking to make jQuery part of their official development platform. Their JavaScript offering today includes the ASP.NET Ajax Framework and they’re looking to expand it with the use of jQuery. This means that jQuery will be distributed with Visual Studio (which will include jQuery intellisense, snippets, examples, and documentation).

jQuery and ASP.NET already get along pretty well but support in Visual Studio is welcome news.

Just an FYI everybody, there’s an article on 4chan in the WSJ, so that means it’s time to wrap the whole thing up. Had a nice run but all good things and all that.

Also:

Last September, Ben Huh and a team of investors purchased “I Can Has Cheezburger,” a site that aggregated the “LOLcats.” Mr. Huh hopes to turn the 4chan-generated tradition into a meme empire with several other related sites in the works. The site now has more than 2.5 million unique visitors a month, according to Mr. Huh, and a book based on the site is coming this fall for Gotham Books.

“Meme empire” makes me die a little on the inside.

Here are some photos from The Oregonian. I’m hearing around 75,000 people were there. Crazy!

Also makes a good Mac ad.

Indistinguishable from magic, pretty much.
