Jeffrey Zeldman Presents : IE7 CSS tweak show and tell

here's a starting point for some IE7 launch repircussions research, when/if I decide to care.

Particletree · Degradable Ajax Form Validation

I see a fair number of PHP forms in my near future. Now the thing about me and back-end programming, I'm extremely lazy. It's not what I do, so I don't care if I do it "right" I just want it to work (and not getting hacked is nice too, as I've learned). Thus far I've been so lazy I haven't bothered with validation, which is totally crappy. So here I am poking around google for the laziest possible solution. What do you think of this one? I'm looking for something re-usable that I can just hack the demo. Least amount of time/effort to setup possible. Other suggestions?

Zipcar - Car sharing, cars by the hour or day

This is so like the shared community bike program they had at Hampshire. Except if they started up in 1999 this might have come first. Wonder what their association with the 5-college valley is, since they're rather conspiciously present in the small city / large towns of Amherst and Northampton. Could just be the colleges.

Makes me wish we lived in a real city. I went from living in a half-assed suburb (Wilton, ME - suburb of nothing, one hour drive from anything/everything) to living in a half-assed city (Los Angeles, CA - a city so poluted that nobody walks anywhere and its sprawling nature makes public transit difficult), guess I'm just a fool.

MaleContraceptives.org -- Prove that there is demand for new male contraceptives

Help speed the development of new contraceptive options for men by participating in a 5-minute survey!

We (the couple's we, not the royal one) beta tested this survey a few months ago, looks like they worked out a lot of the kinks from the earlier version.
