Friday Flickr Fun: add a Flickr tag cloud to your site
It has been said that the "tag cloud is the mullet of the internet," and who doesn't want to be the height of current fashion? Dan Steingart has written a PHP script that will pull your tags from Flickr and arrange them in a tag cloud for inclusion on your site. There are a number of parameters you can tweak including min and max font sizes, sort order, color, and username by applying arguments to the URL. If you set this up, post up a link in the comments and, um, show us your mullet.
The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way.
Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...

This tag cloud technology is very cool. Does anyone know if this is being used for indexing news stories? I think it would be very cool if the day's news stories were indexed into a tag cloud to give you a high level picture of what is being talked about!
