Dive into Mark

Through Photo Matt, I discovered that Mark Pilgrim is blogging again. Mark Pilgrim wrote the great book Dive into Python which I learnt Python. He also wrote Dive into Greasemonkey which is a fantastic reading for anyone who wants learn how to write Greasemonkey scripts. (Oh, and a book on accessibility)

Of particular interest to me on the blog is the use of canvas reflection. I think this has been the first time I've been surfing around the internet and seen it being used "in the wild". Every implementation of canvas reflection I've seen before has been discovered through e-mails, referrer logs or Google searches.

Seems like the version he uses has been modified to remove the prototype.js dependency (probably a good idea especially with prototype 1.4's huge size)
