Google has been running a “treasurehunt” with unspecified prizes up for grabs for the fastest times to complete the tasks. What it amounts to is four questions spaced over a month, that you can log onto in your own time and attempt to nut out. The questions are randomly generated, but are of a different type each week.

Oddly named Cabel’s Blog LOL has a fancy-pants (a technical term apparently) javascripty image zooming tool called FancyZoom. I’ve installed it for this post, but if it ain’t working go here. It’s very simple to set up, and once it’s done, if you link to an image (via thumbnail or text link) the image will pop out of the page when visitors click it. Check it:

Or from this text link.

It’s pretty.
