Silly Site o' the Day

Via Johnny Bacardi and Laura Gjovaag (my two blog "children") I discovered the ultra-cool ACME Laboratories, and I can't believe super-genius Jef Poskanzer grabbed the "acme.com" domain so easily! You can find lots of neat stuff there like their license plate maker and candy-heart creator and even a label maker. Alas, quoth Poskanzer, "If you want to use [any made image], then copy it to your own web site. Don't copy the URL, copy the .jpg file itself. Links from external HTML pages to these image files are disabled. If you try it, people viewing your page will just get a broken-image icon and you'll look like an idiot." And I haven't the inclination to store silly site images on our website (all those kitty pictures are quite enough!), so have fun playing with them yourself! There are also tutorials on HTML and colors, an aggregate search form, a chocolate registry!, a camera database, a motherboard finder, current moon phases, a talking clock, and lots more! Nice work, Jef, I think Chuck Jones would be proud.
