I’ve been making some pretty cool (in my opinion) animations lately using no images, no Flash, and no Silverlight. All I’ve been using is JavaScript, CSS, and a tiny bit of SVG.
You can see the first two I made (and only so far): Speck and Fishtank.

WordPress, bbPress, WordPress MU, Akismet, and Gravatar are
’s redefinition of the internet, blogging, and forums. And now, BuddyPress is going to redefine social networking. Not only do you get unlimited blogs with one installation of WordPress MU, but now, with the addition of BuddyPress, you can add the ability to have: (taken directly from the BuddyPress website)
- Extended Profiles
- Personal Blog
- Private Messaging
- Friends
- Groups
- The Wire
- Status Updates
- Albums
I’ve tested it, and even though it looks great so far, there’s not much to look at, however, I may be adding it to LlamaSlayers, after it’s out of beta.
In other news…
CSS Naked Day is comming up soon. Don’t worry, there are no nude people in this event. All it means

In all of the previous Browser Warz competitions, there were only 4 competitors. Now, there are 26. Now, I hope you’re thinking “26 browsers on one computer? This guy must be crazy!”, because I am.
However, unlike the other Browser Warz competitions, the browsers in this competition will be facing other versions of their own kind before going on to face the winners of each individual competition.
There are 4 things that the browsers will be scored on in this leg of the competition:
- CSS errors (Is the purple header there? Does the body of the page match up with the header? Is the footer matching? Are the horizontal rules hidden?)
- JavaScript errors (Are there any? How bad are they?)
- Speed of the 3 tests (How fast were each of the three tests? How long did it take 5 repeats of each test to occur?)
- Total time taken on the tests (How many seconds did it take?)
The 26 browsers are split up into 5 categories:
Internet Explorer (7 browsers, page 2)
Firefox (4 browsers, page 3)
Opera (6 browsers, page 4)
Netscape (7 browsers, page 5)
Other (2 browsers, page 6)
This competition, because it is so long, is divided into pages to reduce loading time.
