Chris Coyier at CSS-tricks.com has built a j-query plugin to block Internet Explorer 6 with a nice little error message rather than doing nothing but dropping support and letting IE 6 screw up your page.

Ubiquity

August 27, 2008 at 1:43 PM by

Mozilla Labs has very cool utility in alpha testing called Ubiquity. Ubiquity adds a natural language command line utility to the browser. It let's you type in plain english commands like "Map this", "add to calendar", "translate this" that let you consume various web services where you want them rather than having to navigate to them. For instance "Map This" or even "Map these" will display a google map of a selected address or addresses. It's not just an application but a platform which will allow third party programmers to write their own commands which a user can subscribe to.

Check out the screencast:
Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo.

The best musical blog by a singing super villain who can't work up the nerve to talk to the pretty girl at the Laundromat.

Joss Wheedon's internet project is finally online, but will only be free to watch until the June 20th.
