Enhance your web images with reflection
Reflection.js 1.6 allows you to add reflections to images on your webpages. It uses unobtrusive JavaScript to keep your code clean.
Why use Javascript Image Reflections?
- Fast and easy to implement. Just add class=”reflect” to the image and your good to go.
- Don’t need to spend time in an image editor creating reflections.
- Works really well with forum avatars. Doesn’t require additional server work.
- It’s dead easy to change the opacity and height of the reflections.
- The reflections can respond to user action.
- It’s cool.

Handy widget to glorify your desktop
A desktop full of handy widgets to tell you about what’s going on in the world and what’s going on around your computer. This is Jackfield.
Jackfield is an application for the Gnome desktop that plays host to widgets; small applications to do the things you need. It can run widgets from Apple’s Dashboard, will eventually be able to run those from Yahoo’s Widget Engine, Microsoft’s Gadget Sidebar, and Opera Widgets, and you can write your own.

Fireworks.js
A javascript animation experiment
Fireworks.js is a bit of Javascript that creates starburst-type explosions in a web document; in short, it’s a fireworks effect someone could theoretically use on their site. And come on, who doesn’t want something like that? As far as appropriateness is concerned, this effect could be compared to the dripping-blood-line, skull and fireball animated .GIF images so popular on the web in 1997. Exploding firework animations are hot, the new black, the script equivalent of the blink tag. Mmm, blink tag.
Nonetheless, Fireworks has been published here for fun, experimenting a bit with simple trigonometry and math, and those who are perhaps interested in javascript animation, object-oriented code or script-driven sound. It also serves as a dirty browser performance test of sorts, as a large number of elements are dynamically created, moved and destroyed on this page as the script runs.
Fireworks does the following nifty things:
- Random explosion patterns and colours
- Customizable API allows for additional firework types and effects
- Optional script-driven sound effects provided by SoundManager API
- Nifty queue-based animation (easily set up your own firework sequences)
- Sound panning effect based on firework location (left/right) on screen
- Single-image, tile-based animation for efficiency
- Standard DOM calls work under XML doctypes (ie. application/xhtml+xml)
- Extensible (ideally), object-oriented, memory-leak-tested code*
