Google's mail service, better known as Gmail, has a nice feature called keyboard shortcuts. This way, you can simply use your keyboard to navigate fast trough your Gmail account. I created this cheat sheet with they keyboard shortcuts from Gmail and what they do. Print it and put it next to your PC, you'll never forget an shortcut again.

For those people that don't have the keyboard shortcuts enabled (yet), go to the Settings page of Gmail and turn them on there.

The new Actionscript 3.0 in Flash CS3 can be a bit tricky sometimes, especially when you're normally used to Actionscript 2.0. But there are a number of nice new functions in AS 3.0 which make it really attractive to just make it your coding standard for Flash.

Here I'll explain how to use the leftPeak and rightPeak properties of AS 3.0. With these, you can read the volume of both audio channels (left and right) seperately. With that value, you can create some nice Flash files, like this visual audio bar.

A couple of days ago a friend of me showed me this dragon. At first it wasn't really anything special, untill the moment he said to watch to the dragon and close one eye. When I started to move around, still keeping one eye on the dragon, I saw something really cool; It was as if the dragon was following my every move.

The thing that I mostly like about this, is that it's very easy to create. Just print the dragon and stick it to some firm paper. After letting it dry, cut the dragon out of the paper and assemble it using the tabs and there you have it. Your own optical illusion.

You'll keep on watching to this dragon, just put it on your desktop or something.
