  1. A beverage to go with that omelet by superflippy · · Score: 1 · on Making a Slashdot Omelet

    I don't know about a "Slashdot omelet," but I've been enjoying this recipe for Slashdot chai for years now. I haven't been able to find the original comment I copied it from, but to that long-lost Slashdotter who posted the recipe in the first place, thanks for the many cups of spicy chai I've enjoyed.

    I couldn't help to think "Metro design language".

    If this subject interests you, here's a post that got a lot of attention earlier this year: Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus shun HTML, causing the infographic plague.

    >I've been told I look like Sarah Palin...

    After a comment like that I just had to see for myself...

    A few new shows they could try

  6. Copyleft Mascot by superflippy · · Score: 1 · on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel

    What we need to counter this is a way to teach kids (and adults) to look for the Creative Commons "copyleft" symbol so they'll know that whatever they're using is contributing to the progress of arts & science, etc.

    How about a Creative Commons Mascot? (OK, so maybe they're not any less mockable than a ferret/weasel, but that was all I could come up with on short notice.)

  7. Vinyl by superflippy · · Score: 2, Funny · on Christmas Gifts for Geeks

    Yes, good old vinyl records. A quarter apiece at Goodwill, and they make lovely, sturdy bags or bowls when baked at 200 degrees F.

  8. Another mouse gesture javascript menu by superflippy · · Score: 1 · on Mouse Gestures in Javascript

    Since the page from the article is slashdotted, here's another example of a gestural menu made with javascript. I did this about 4 years ago, and the pages contain links to some of Xerox's original reserach on the subject for those who are terribly interested.

  9. History behind this concept by superflippy · · Score: 1 · on Pie-Menus in Mozilla

    This is something that Xerox researched several years ago. If you're really interested in gestural/marking menus, you may find their paper Contextual Animation of Gestural Commands
    interesting. I used this as inspiration to build my own DHTML Marking Menu a couple years back (has been updated, should work in Mozilla). Feel free to copy the code if you get a wild hair and want to put one of these things on your own web site.
