Almost time for my vacation! This time tomorrow I'll be sitting in a chair on an airplane to Atlanta and then after a quick stop-over I'm off to Salt Lake City! Two weeks of sun, snow and skiing in ski resorts such as Park City, Alta, Brighton, Solitude, Snowbasin, Powder Mountain... ah I can't wait!

Looking under the hood, it's a pretty simple but impressive combination of CSS and Javascript that enables these slide animations from screen to screen. It's a technique that...

Now I was already familiar with Seeqpod and Songza where you can find music with just a few clicks, but today I stumbled upon Songerize. It's basically a search engine for music, just like Seeqpod and Songza, however it has virtually no options and plays the song you are looking for automatically if it's found. Easy to use if you're looking for a song in a hurry with just one click...
