Has interesting lazy-load function that adds a rule to a stylesheet. - Kent Brewster

They'll never learn if nobody says anything, right? - Kent Brewster

Be sure to work in a couple plugs for Laaker.com in there, if you can. Something about how it was frustrating there was little Backyard integration with *your* preferred starting point experience. - Micah Laaker

I've noticed that I rarely upload sets of photos, these days. Have you tried the Twitter-to-Flickr e-mail gateway? - Kent Brewster

With a few lines of JavaScript it's possible to discover whether your Web site's visitors are signed in to Amazon, find out if they have a wish list, add the arbitrary items of your choice, and extract their names, all without their knowledge or permission. - Kent Brewster

With a simple set of URL filters, I was able to build bad.js, a Searchmonkey add-on for Yahoo! Search that warns me away from all those lovely canned scripts and talking banner ads from 1997. Bad.js was simple to build, easy to publish, and generally a joy to do; if you want to play, I strongly recommend checking out Searchmonkey, at http://gallery.search.yahoo.com. - Kent Brewster

If you have any interest in British engineering or the fact that this nuclear bomber kept the peace in the Cold War then please help. With the current uncertain financial situation the Trust can not ask for your money, just a pledge that you will donate towards the outstanding £500k that is needed to continue flight operations this year. That may sounds like a lot, but £150k has been pledged by the public in the last two weeks alone. - Kent Brewster

Thierry knows his stuff. Worth investigating! - Kent Brewster

Unlike other Web-based solutions, iClipper does not send the content you're trying to paste back and forth to a third party site. It lives and works entirely on your device, and nobody can ever see what you're doing or prevent you from doing it. - Kent Brewster

Once it's running, go back out to your Settings, turn off your network by going into Airplane Mode, and then come back and try iClock again. If all went well, you should see a working clock with your network disabled, because the bookmark itself contains everything necessary to recreate the page. - Kent Brewster

Until the release of Yahoo! Query Language, one of the key parts missing from del.icio.us (or "Delicious," as it's now branded) was a full-text search API. Delicious Search Exploder uses YQL, Pipes, and a couple of native feeds from Delicious to provide an on-page search-and-browse experience, for users, tags, and sites. - Kent Brewster

Neal Stephenson, on writing ANATHEM, among other things. - Kent Brewster

A few of these have been taped up in out-of-the-way places on the Yahoo! Sunnyvale campus. They don't look like official internal marketing ... I am agitating for t-shirts now. - Kent Brewster

You can avoid having to reactivate XP by simply copying a file from your Windows directory and saving it on a USB stick, floppy drive, or CD. When you first activated Windows, XP creates a file called “WPA.DBL” and stores it in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory. Now copy this file to some sort of external storage device and keep it in a safe place. When you go to reinstall Windows, you’ll reach the point where you have to activate. Decline the activation and complete the installation. Now you’ll need to restart your computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 on startup to get into the Advanced Boot Options menu. Go to C:\Windows\System32 and you should see a file called WPA.DBL already there. Simply rename it to something like WPA.backup and then copy your backup version of WPA.DBL to the current location. - Kent Brewster

Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on ... This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming. - Kent Brewster

This would be double-awesome if the paint was invisible except for tiny reflective chips in it that only showed from the "right" direction. - Kent Brewster

Think of it as a TinyURL you can wear. Each two-by-four-inch, velcro-backed twill p8tch has a Mysterious Commando Design on the top, and a QRCode on the bottom. The QRCode on the p8tch contains a URL. If you scan the code with your iPhone, Mobile Safari will take you directly to that URL. Or, if it's a Google Maps link, directly to the Google Maps app. Or, if it's a YouTube link, it'll show a movie. Cool, right? - Kent Brewster
