I started using Tool Man about a year ago to help with javascript drag and drop sorting of lists. Lately however, I have been using crap.taculo.us and have come to like many of its features especially the “$” referencing of dom elements. Unfortunately they can’t coexist. They both try to hijack the window.onload method rendering Toolman unusable. I’m sure after some debugging I could figure out a work around, but for now I recommend just using scriptaculous. It has all the same sorting features as Toolman plus tons of other AJAX stuff that you can’t do without. It is also built into Rails so it won’t be going away anytime soon.

Summer of Code is a program designed to introduce students to open source software development. Google provides stipends to about 400 students to work with a mentor on an open source project over the summer. This is just another example of why google is google… supporting the open source software movement and mining the best and the brightest students as future employees. Brilliant!

Seriously… WTF. Devotees nailed to cross in Philippines – Boston.com

Artie is a service that utilizes Amazon.com’s public database of images to retrieve any missing cover art for your iTune’s library. Just upload your easy-to-find iTunes Music Library.xml file, wait a second while it analyzes everything, and drag the artwork straight into your running iTunes program. The correct art is found more then 95 percent of the time, however databases aren’t perfect, so it’s possible you might get a Yanni cover for your new G-Unit CD, for these few mistakes, we appologize.
