Alternatives to innerHTML - from Slayeroffice

This is an excellent article from slayeroffice about using alternatives to innerHTML in your applications.

Artrage: the world's greatest paint simulator

I think when you first look at Artrage, you'll think "this is just another paint program". However, you'd be wrong. I dont even think of it as a 'paint' program at all in the traditional sense. This is more of an amazing paint and other media simulator. Just try out the paintbrush and change some colors - smearing them around - and you can see how the application is actually simulating the physical properties of the liquid paints. Colors smear together realistically, your brush 'runs out of paint' in a realistic fashion. I can only imagine how cool this application works with a Wacom tablet. So, if you have a kid who's artistically inclined, this is a must download. The killer feature for me is the fact that you can 'trace' a background picture and have the tool that you are using automatically (optionally) pick up the color (eyedropper fashion) from the background image. Beautiful!

DiggLicious - Digg + Del.icio.us

Imagine if you took Digg Spy, merged it with Del.icio.us and fiddled with the colors a bit. You might get something like this.

WarBears - flash game

How could you turn down trying out a game where you play a ninja bear taking out kidnappers, or calling for a pizza delivery to allow your bear sniper a chance to take out other kidnappers? This is a great tongue in cheek game that lets you try to figure out all the steps you need to take to rescue a bunch of poor hostages in a bank. Technically violent, this is more of a puzzle game where you need to figure out the sequence of events. Very funny and quite entertaining!
