A fantastic tool for increasing web app efficiency is Luis Majano's JSMin compressor. It takes your local CSS or JavaScript files, compresses them, and stores them as an aggregated file in your app's cache. I did run into a bit of trouble with it recently when I ran it on an app's new stack and encountered a bit of a BOM problem. Here's why the BOM can be a problem and a simple way to fix it.
So the grandiose Disney Corporation has purchased Lucasfilm ltd. and plans on making a new set of Star Wars movies. It's almost enough to make even the casual Star Wars fan cry. However, much like how they handled the assimilation of the Marvel universe (by putting Joss Whedon over it), Disney has made a surprisingly good move: they hired J.J. Abrams to take Star Wars into tomorrow...
