Let's try something new. I'm going to share a few things that I saw that were interesting from around the web the past few days. So here we go:

Strike by Appiphony

Have you every been looking something up about the Lightning Design System and wanted to get a better sense of what attributes to set? Well strike is for you! It has a set of components for use and it open source. I think the real treat though is the preview feature. You can select a component, Strike or base Lightening, and see live updates to a sample and the necessary markup.

Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption

If you use the internet at all there is a chance that you some sites or services you used on February 28 were degraded or disrupted altogether. Amazons AWS S3 Service had an issue caused by "one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly". It explains what happened as well as why the AWS Service Health Dashboard wasn't updating with the issue.
