Here is a new feature of Firefox 1.5.x, Apple Safari and Opera 9. I can draw using pure Javascript using the <Canvas> HTML Tag. In case you are using one of the browsers mentioned above, welcome to the brave new world of JavaScript Power. First it was Ajax now Canvas. Nice.

A recent post on drupal.org on The Road to Drupal Hell or rather the classical hack the code to death hell. I do hope most of the software developers must be familiar with this.
