I simply enjoy days where my queue is empty and I can develop little random apps to keep my brain occupied. It's the small pleasures in life that brings me such joy.
Today I present "newsFeed". Inspired by the large flash based image menu at the top of Gamespot.com's site, I decided to create a similar application through JQuery. I replaced the flash with a simple definition list that contains the large image that is used for the background and the text content. I was able to recreate the hover and rollover blur effects as the flash but I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to autoscroll. I'll save that for the next release. Simply check out the links below for a working example. Sorry no download is available on this one yet!
