Pretty amazing open source javascript/xml tool for creating timelines.
Sigh
Tumblr’s out with some new features; 10mb audio files (up from 5mb), and a new customization page. Yup, that seems to be it, after how ever many months of silence (other than when their servers were down for a while last week). And yeah, date sorting is still broken.
Calibrating screens on all three computers, even the old 12” Powerbook. This is really the last thing I should be doing right now. What I *should* be doing, is testing html emails in Outlook through Virtual PC. Hence the procrastination.

Cloverfield was quite awesome. The shaky cam made a few people leave the theater, but I say any movie that makes you puke is doing something right. There are also some critics saying it’s “too soon” to see buildings in New York get attacked by a monster like that. I think they’re right; I’m still broken up from that piece of shit Godzilla remake from 10 years ago.

iPhone Webclip Icons
FYI: To create a custom icon for iPhone/iPod Touch home screen bookmarks, save a 57 × 57 px PNG with the name “apple-touch-icon.png” at the top level of your server. (Without one, the default icon is a scaled-down screenshot of the web page you’re making the shortcut for.) - via Daring Fireball
