When I first purchased my LCD (Samsung SyncMaster 172x, which is excellent by the way), I was feeling a little sketchy about it because I have never had an LCD and heard about all the Dead Pixels that can occur. I luckily have not spotted any yet, but thanks to this website, it made me confirm that there weren’t any dead pixels, Dead Pixel Test.

So you just bought a superb ultra-flat 25″ LCD monitor, but it looks like there are a few ’spots’ on it. Depending on how many and it’ll mean return to the vendor or live with it. Or you could be about to buy one in a store and want to make sure there aren’t any dead pixels. Just come to this page!

Go see how your monitor is by viewing this test, the Dead Pixel Test.

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
