free your mind and your ass will follow
Yet another geeky post, but there's a cool technology preview at the end. Feel free to skip the geeky part.

I am considering how to do a distributed GUI for backend database management at work, and I remembered I had done a presentation on Mozilla XUL when I was at school. XUL [XML User-interface Language] is used to describe the entirety of the Firefox user interface, and a very neat feature of Firefox is that if you browse to a XUL file on the Internet, it will render the XUL UI and let you interact with it.
</geeky>
I came up with a proof-of-concept demo for an iPhoto-like online photo album based on XUL. If you are using Mozilla/Firefox [it will not work in any other browser, I promise you] visit xPhoto
to see some pictures of my aunt's cottage on the lake and @dragonlady7 's sister's springer spaniel Scout.
Now I'm going to see if I can score some points by cleaning the house before @dragonlady7 gets home.
