Weblog widgets

I've been playing with several little javascript dinguses on this weblog. Two of them, in the left-hand sidebar of this page, let you see recent movie notes and book notes when you mouseover a button. There's also an opening epigram that appears while the page loads and fades out after a few seconds.

These are amusing toys, and also proving ground for some ideas for the Generalized Stretchtext project.

If they're malfunctioning, or driving you nuts, or if you have questions about them, let me know. Email me.

Latest changes: click the epigram to dismiss it. The book review widgets should now be more reliable. All the code is cleaner.
