- Spirited Away hides inactive applications after sixty seconds This could be a really good way of not feeling swamped by the amount of open windows on your computer, while still making it possible for you to navigate between them. Bit distracting when something vanishes though...
- Good Flag, Bad Flag - the five basic principles you need to know when designing a flag for your country! Highly entertaining guide this - practical, solid and useful, while also incredibly unlikely to be useful to many people. Hence awesome.
- BookMooch is a free book trade and exchange community I love this idea - I have a whole bunch of books that I'm either not going to read or have read and are just taking up space. I'd rather do something like this than turn them into 10% of their original cash value... Very nice.
- Truth in Advertising Following on from the fake Al Gore satire the other day and the Cillit Bang thing and the upcoming Ethicopocalypse, this sums up my feelings with regards to advertising quite well I think...
- Ruby on Rails will ship with OS X 10.5 (Leopard) I don't know about any of the rest of you, but that's sort of blown my mind. I didn't see it coming at all, and can't help think that this is going to push Rails into the stratosphere over the next couple of years...

re: Spirited Away - been using this for a few months, set to a much longer delay, and loving it. As a serial task-hopper, it really helps focus and get some actual work done. It should fade app windows out v.slowly really, that would be much better.
