<strong>congratulations, Gus</strong>!
I've loved <a href="http://www.flyingmeat.com/voodoopad.html">VoodooPad</a> since Buzz at
<a href="http://www.scifihifi.com/">skiffyhiffy</a> first pointed it out to me.
Try it immediately, if not sooner - and if you buy it now, you'll save a bit too ($10 currently, but will go up to $29 soon).
I actually discovered this when Googling for the name of the guy who officially first noticed VP's window fade-outs
(it was <a href="http://disco.ucsd.edu/blog/2003/Jun/14#voodoopadfadeout">Michael McCracken</a>, incidentally -
wasn't that also Denis Leary's character's name in Loaded Weapon 1?),
since I reimplemented the effect just for fun a couple of nights ago. Very easy to do, yet rarely seen in apps, and thus
still quite eye-catching.
