Can't take it anymore

This site is shut down, and I'm launching earlier than expected http://www.widgetopia.net. the design isn't quite there, and I'm still hitting bugs, but I think you are willing to stick it out (I hope) because the spammers have got me down. MT blacklist can barely keep up. the new site is on drupal, which requires registration, and it was a move I had planned anyway to take advantage of community tools such as moderation. So here we go: the king is dead... long live the king!

From 300 Images From 1800 Sites

Yes, you read that correctly. Just found, via paranoidfish's links blog, is this wonderful collection of icons used for arrows, posts, comments, mail, bullets, printing and shopping carts - 300 images in all. A great resource for the widget inclined.

I'm probably the only person who gets make/model continuously mixed up. But i'll guess that "express inquiry; means little ot all. Plus the lack of submit button and here we are: puzzled.

I don't want to be accused of bashing via michelin, which is super useful as I try to plan a trip across the languedoc, but...

huh? This icon is the standard icon for warning. I didn't think road advice was a scary or dangerous pastime.

Found on Ryze, YASNS.

Poised above the global navigation, this boxis-whois-whichis defies categorization. A placeholder for what? I don't know what they are thinking-- this simply says, ignore this spot, when something does come you will have been trained to ignore it...
