Fancy Captcha (jQuery)

This is a very neat take on the Captcha — intended to stop spam and phishing. This one is pretty cool — it works by using a simple drag-and-drop check to make sure you’re not really a smapbot.

Twitter Tip #1

When you post a tweet, use hashtags (a keyword preceded by the pound sign) appropriately. The reason this works is because hashtags are indexed by certain Twitter indices and are more apt to show up when people search on Twitter. Also, the retweet factor higher for hashtags. Twitterbots will cull the latest tweets for tags for certain topics (#Apple, #iPhone, #screensaver, etc). Twitterbots will pick these up and automatically retweet them for their, at times, hundreds of followers. You can really increase traffic by using hashtags.

A tiny glitch kept the Monday Muse from launching on schedule yesterday. So this week it’s the Special Tuesday Muse.

You may recognize one piece from an artist feature last week — a different piece (of course) but the same artist.

Golden Gate Bridge

For all its status as a photographer’s delight, Golden Gate they say commonly swathed in fog, making direct photos less than ideal. The first photo shows it doesn’t really matter anyway — even through the fog its breathtaking.

There’re some other very artistic (and time-consumign) pieces this week as well.

And, I guess, you can tell I love urban decay – this week also features a derelict mansion somewhere in Russia.
