Two great Kickstarter projects ending soon: Durandal JavaScript framework and bitCommander File Manager
I like Kickstarter. It's not a store, it's an easy way to help fund creative projects.

Running Silverlight 2 on Google Chrome using the Chrome Dev Channel
When Google Chrome first came out and I read that it used Webkit, the same rendering engine that powers Safari, I tried browsing a few Silverlight 2 sites. It kind of worked, as long as the sites didn’t exclude browsers that weren’t on Microsoft’s official Silverlight support list. The controls loaded, but didn’t animate or update smoothly. While Microsoft still isn’t officially supporting Silverlight on Chrome, Chrome’s latest Dev Build (0.2.151.2) includes some specific fixes to support Silverlight 2 Beta 2.
