Somehow I managed to ignore alexa.com until a few days ago when I suddenly ran into it. And I must say it's pretty amazing what kind of information they have collected about almost any site around. This for example is the current...

I came across this interesting thread on Flashforum.de (beware it's german). Florian Krüsch and Ralf Bokelberg are exploring the extension of the function prototype. It starts with the basic idea that instead of an object or a variable you can as well...

I've just created a little prototype for a project that I want to share with you: it's a blurred rect drawing method which might come in useful if you want to draw soft shadows or glows. I think the peformance should be...

I'm happy to hear that valyard is back with a new site. As you might remember he has a great talent for finding those special sites that make your jaw drop. Welcome home!...

Suddenly there seem to be window engines all over the place. Here is another one by Erik Lembke called armadeOS. Work pretty smooth and implements some nice details like the animated minimize function. Unfortunately the engine itself is closed source so you...

It looks like WACK has got some serious competition: Component Headquarters have released their XWF Window Component which is already used as the engine for the site itself (which looks great). It may be still missing proper packaging and documentation, but when...
