A javascript database (using AMASS)

From Simon Willison's site come a link to a very interesting experiment using AMASS. Basically it's a javascript - based database. You can even run SQL queries against it. Nifty.

Moo.fx - javascript animation library based on prototype.js

Extra points for site design on this one. If you are looking for snazzy javascript animations, give this one a shot.

Web Two Point Oh! (mentioned on slashdot)

Wow! I created this little javascript page just a few days ago poking fun at the Web 2.0 phenomenon and posted a note about it to a single blogger (mashable). In 24hrs the site is mentioned across the web, and then today I see it talked about on Slashdot. How amazingly cool is that?

Behavior: using css selectors for javascript behaviors

Interesting idea - using css selectors for javascript behaviors instead of adding onclick, onmouseover, etc. etc.

Flash MMORPG update

The flash mmorpg I'm working on is not dead - by any means. I've been brainstorming ideas as well as starting on the basics of the ui. I think I have something special here and when it becomes more than just a few lines of code and a file or two, I'll post more info about it. My original idea is linked above.

Move over TinyUrl - here comes GiganticUrl

This is too funny. I'm sure by now you've heard of TinyUrl - which tries to create a shorthand link that redirects to some url of your choosing. Now we have the opposite case - a mo-hawnking huge url you can use to obscure a tiny link...

Here's the link to andrewwooldridge.com:

The Snowflake Method for Writing a Novel

I have many sources for the links I find, but sometimes a link just happens to show up (this time via LiveMarks ) that is pretty interesting. This is one such link. If you've ever found yourself at a loss in your creative project - be it a novel or game or Web 2.0 application, you might find this article to contain something to help break you out of the cycle.

Hoodwinked: Shrek meets Red Robin Hood


From the site:
An irreverent take on the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood where a karate-kicking Red, a sarcastic Wolf, an oafish Woodsman and a thrill-seeking Granny become allies in apprehending an evil 'cookie bandit'.

No, Shrek doesnt really meet Red, but it's in the same animation style as well as the irreverent humor. Looks like it'll be good for a laugh or two.
