Digital Web Magazine - Forms, usability, and the W3C DOM we've been doing this at work using dhtml, but as the application gets more complex we are looking for a simpler way to hide and show stuff without making a trip to the DB. i think jon had something like this in mind, but we'll see if this has any impact on the way we end up implementing it. seem to remember hearing him griping about lack of custom attributes support, but don't remember what browser/app he was talking about.

FingerWorks - Inventor and Developer of MultiTouch Technology Jon ordered an iGesture Pad. Very cool concept in ergonomic periferals, one of my favorite aspects of computing. No buttons, just a flat pad that acts like a mouse, but more advanced than just a touchpad. It's mouse pad sized, and gestures involve 2 or more fingers, so less carpel-tunnel tendancies.
