He found this link and after looking through it I definitely wanted to save it for later if I need it:

Things to Tweak After Installing Ubuntu 11.10

A whole list of commands to get rid of global menus, modify all kinda of Unity WM behavior and Gnome 3 behavior (like get screensavers back) and even how to install Gnome Shell on Ubuntu and tweak that. Looks like a great collection for anyone underwhelmed by Ubuntu 11.10′s default offerings.

  • Microdata: HTML5�s Best-Kept Secret | Webmonkey�| Wired.com
    I've been meaning to look into HTML5's microdata, this looked like the dive in intro I hadn't gotten around to finding.

    "Given the amount of industry noise about native video and scripted animations, you�d be forgiven if you had never heard of the new microdata specification included in HTML5. Similar to outside efforts like Microformats, HTML5�s microdata offers a way of extend HTML by adding custom vocabularies to your pages."
