Blinksale - the easiest way to send invocies online! Heck I don’t want to use these guys, I want to copy what they do and make it a WordPress plugin. Hey relax I’m just kidding okay.
37 Signals - These guys make some cool online software. Oline collaboration tools, chat tools, organising tools, etc. I’m just impressed with their resume. Take a look.

I think they had it coming, poor old Telecom just can’t stop getting their ass kicked! Maybe next we’ll see the ice queens head roll. Maybe its about time they had a new CEO. Lets just see what happens huh.
We were going to unbundle anyway - Yeah Right
This was written in a rush! Please ignore any obvious gramatical or speeeeling mistakes. For the sake of authenticity I will not edit this post!!!!! (also i’m way to busy man!!!)
I’ve searched far and wide for the best and easiest to use drop down menu solution.
I did not base my search on what may “look” the best but I have based my search on what is the most usable, what is the easiest to maintain and use solution, and whether it is web standards compliant. Of course what does this mean to you… you can save money and force your paid developers to upskill!!!
First Option - Drop-Down Menus, Horizontal Style
If you are commissioning a job then you and your developers should always check out A List Apart first to see if somebody has already done what you want. This is where I found this article. Let me just say. There is a reason that these guys have clients like blogger.com, google, and yahoo. Its because webstandards and quality matter, these guys walk the walk that you like to talk, they are 100% committed to the humans that use websites. And I think that is cool!
This drop down menu is rather snazzy. I like it, the conversation in the user comments is a good read, and their are instrunctions on how to integrate it into your site.

Second Option - Son of the sucker fish
These guys have also made an awesome menu. The second paragraph impressed me “Well now they’re back and they’re more accessible, even lighter in weight (just 12 lines of JavaScript), have greater compatibility (they now work in Opera and Safari without a hack in sight) and can have multiple-levels.”
Ask your programmer to look at the suckerfish dropdown solution for you.

Apple suck the big kahoona on this one. I plugged my ipod nano into my mac and now it no longer apears on my pc laptop. Apprently the only way to fix this is by restarting my ipod which is their “nice” way of saying “sorry you are stuffed, its format time!!!”
This is the first negative experiance I’ve had with Appleware and I must say I’m very disapointed.
Geeky gadget or essential accessory?…
Oh yes I do. I read about this on Engadget, unlike the author over their I love the fact that the CO/EX Salone Satellite looks like a robot from the Matrix. The original Matrix. Or maybe even the Animatrix. The last two Matrix movies? No sorry I don’t know what you mean…
I’m starting up a new category called iLike. This is where I’ll post things that I think are cool, you know, that iLike the look of. Damn thats kinda cool isnt it.
The Belkin Wireless KVM is a nice example of something that has been typically ugly throughout the dawn of time that is now relatively cool. Nice one Belkin!!!
Last night I upgraded Mind of Mufasa to WordPress 2.0.2 and lost my top image - It’ll be back though, this is only temporary, my god its scary. Ahhh but the new admin interface is devine, and well K2 is very cool - I wish there was a deadline, or development road map available though - I want to start using the full version and developing plugins asap :)
Dr XU is a mirricle man. Not quite like the funny little American Indian Spiritual doctors that eat you, consume your ailment, then vomit you back up. Nope, John is a trained professional with over 8 years of medical training under his belt, you can read more about Jon and his clinic by browsing to their website. All I want to do is make it easy for you to find them.
A few years ago after a Judo incident I had some very painful cartiliage damage behind the knee cap, my western doctor told me there was nothing I can do and that I would have to live with it. Unsatisfied with that answer I asked around and started looking for alternative solutions and I found Dr Xu. Dr Xu identified the problem and within two weeks of very regular accupuncture my knee that had been hurting for at least a month was fully recovered.
This is no tell tale it actualy worked and for you sceptics out there, if you have an issue with accupuncture check out this wikipedia actricle on the science behind accupuncture. I WANT TO BELIEVE.
