Easter eggs 

No, I don't mean the kind you get from bunnies. I mean those hidden extras you can find on your dvd's. Did you know about this? I knew, but only because someone told me. Imagine, you have this nice dvd collection, and you've watched all the movies at least once, and you've watched all the extras.

But wait, have you watched all of them?

Some dvd's have hidden features. Items not conveniently (or fairly) listed on the packaging and found by people who have lots of time on their hands and happen to be very clever. These hidden extras are called "easter eggs" (and probably other things too).

There are sites out there that list some easter eggs on some dvd's but no single definitive site. Yet. There's also the massive pop-up problem. If you're using IE, you do not want to visit any of these sites. (Well, there was one I came across that didn't have any, but it also didn't have many movies listed either. Yet!)

Maybe this would come as a pleasant surprise to find out theres more check out on your dvd's but I find this to be a tad upsetting. Mainly because I just hate missing out. Sure, it's a nice surprise at first. (Ooh, more! Yes!) But then, what if I had never found out? (Extra goodies, going to waste! Oh no!) I'd feel pretty gyped (knowing the dvd's I have might have something extra but I don't know how to find it).

I guess for now it's just good to know that every dvd just might have a hidden extra. The next step is to either try and find it myself (er, probably not) or hope someone else out there has found it and posted that info somewhere. Google anyone?

Button Maker 

My S.O. found this nifty button maker site. It's great. And it's free. I can create all kinds of tiny little buttons. The only problem is, I can't seem to save them. Oh sure, I "save as" and hope for the best. But when I open the newly created button, I get something that looks nothing like what I created. I wonder what I'm doing wrong :(
(I've tried saving as a *.png, *.bmp, *.gif, and *.jpg, nothing works)

I heard something about a broswer glitch causing *.png files not to save properly, but the fix was for IE browsers. (and I am a Mozilla user). Any one know a trick to this? (or a solution?)

So many buttons just waiting to be created.... someday.
