Fun but Not Funny

We watchedTwo Weeks Notice withSandra Bullockand Hugh Grantlast night. When I watch a romantic comedy (I admit — I usually enjoy them), I don’t really expect much comedy. The point is the love story, right? Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but in most cases my wife and I watch these movies together because we enjoy the predictable storylines and the ‘Awwwww’ moments sprinkled throughout.If you like your romantic comedies to be genuinely funny, this movie is not for you. If you are interested in a feel-good love story (predictability aside), you should see this film. Sandra Bullock’s character is the same combination of cute and neurotic that her fans have grown to love, and Hugh Grant provides the little bit of comedy you will discover in this movie.

I have always thought it was ‘cool’ but thought that it was bad design to use it on the web. I remembered vaquely (from Simon Willison’s Blog as it turns out), reading about something called bookmarklets. After a quick Google for bookmarklets, I decided — “this is what JS is best used for!” I added several bookmarklets to my links and now I can use them to navigate websites, analyze website designs, and much more. The Google link above will take you to most of these but my favorites are:
