CoffeeScript
Imagine all the syntactical delights of Ruby and Haml for your JavaScript. You write in a nice language, but get normal JavaScript at runtime.

jQuery Masonry · David DeSandro
Masonry is a layout plugin for jQuery. Think of it as the flip side of CSS floats.

A Less-Random Generator - McArthur GFX
In game development, it's very common to want a random number. Maybe you want to determine damage done, if there was a critical, or what slot on the board to insert your piece at. And surprisingly (or perhaps, not), programmers are often looking to make this random number a little less... random.
