Calendar pop up
Can anybody suggest a javascript calendar pop up script? A layer version might work as well. The one we are using is quite buggy and I’m seeking an alternative. Thanks.

Slick Gmail feature
Maybe I just hadn’t noticed before, but it’s really cool how Gmail warns me about a possible scam email which I received today. It was a email “from” Amazon.com asking for my account information to be “verified.” Now it’s obvious at a glance it’s a scam but Gmail makes it evidently clear by displaying this…
Ski and paraglide all at once
There are few things better than a quiet day in the mountains gently sliding down the face of a mountain (on skis of course). I’m thinking that skiing while paragliding might just top any other combo-sport I’ve encountered. When you have 5 spare minutes watch this video clip and tell me this isn’t the coolest…
Five days and no instant messaging
Warning: This could be the most boring post of the decade: I didn’t log on to instant messenger for five days. An interesting result of not signing on for that long is that many people began to wonder where I was. Some people were actually quite concerned. People who I usually chat with every day…
Puzzle: Balance all of the nails on top of the standing nail
Background: This is a puzzle that was first shown to me in the mid 1980s and ever since then I’ve shown to friends and family. It’s tricky, but given 10 minutes you should be able to figure it out. There are seven nails that balance on top of the 8th nail, and you cannot use…
Chain-Smoking Chinese Chimp
Say that 10 times fast! I’m voting for this as the strangest story of 2006. The story goes that he became addicted to smoking during years as a circus performer. He’s only smoking 4 cigarettes a day now, down from 10.

I suggest the popup calendar at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/popcalendar.htm, very much like Expedia’s. We could change the styles easily. Not sure about safari support though.
Since you guys are Flash crazy, why not use one of them? Javascript (and the DHTML that these sorts of widgets generally require) is pretty fraught with cross-browser and -platform issues. If Flash isn’t present on the client side, they can just enter in the date manually like the savages they are.
Bill: This particular web app is written in PHP and so it wouldn’t really be a good idea to suddenly introduce Flash on an otherwise text based screen.
Since when are we Flash crazy anyways? We actually have done very few Flash-only sites. I’d love the opportunity to do so however, we’ve definately got the talent and just haven’t had the project that asked for it.
You guys link to Flash stuff constantly. That’s all I meant.
Ok, cool. Thanks.
