I decided to make an HSV colorpicker for the js1k contest. Here is a demo of the colorpicker and the source code.

I threw together a color parsing library to help make my JavaScript colorpicker as small and accurate as possible. It is called TinyColor. One of the main goals is a small footprint - it clocks in at 8.98KB (3.41KB gzipped).

I always forget these links, and they are surprisingly hard to find. Here is a quick markup skeleton to throw together for prototypes using jQuery UI.

I love jsFiddle! One feature that would make it even better is a lorem ipsum generator. When using Microsoft Word, you can type =lorem(100) and press enter, then it will generate 100 paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum for you. You can also type =rand(100) and it will pull in data from their help manual.

I have been playing with the Chrome Developer Tools lately. Here is a cool feature I didn't know about.
