Ben Kamens: Breaking down Amazon's mega dropdown:

The hover effects on Amazon’s big ‘ole “Shop by Department” mega dropdown are super fast. Look’it how quick each submenu fills in as your mouse moves down the list:

It’s instant. I got nerd sniped by this. Most dropdown menus have to include a bit of a delay when activating submenus….

Awesome tip!

By the way if CNN has taught us anything with their coverage of a hormone study about women and their voting habits, it’s that all this talk about “politically correct” science and science funding is bullshit.

The Allman Brothers Band - Melissa
By Gregg Allman and Stephen Alaimo

(Mom came to see me play with Chatham Creek yesterday, and we played this song for her, sweet Melissa:)

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast.

Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin’ fun,
But back home he’ll always run
To sweet Melissa… mmm…

Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the Gypsy’s name.

No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
With sweet Melissa… mmm…

Again the morning’s come,
Again he’s on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man’s ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
Or will his spirit roll away?

But I know that he won’t stay without Melissa.

Yes I know that he won’t stay without Melissa.
