Looking at the image kicking off this article, you might not even understand what you're seeing.  At least, I hope so.  I tried to integrate it well.  So what are you seeing?  The image is a screen capture of the logo area of the Digg home page... but there's something added – a keyword filter, to the right of the logo.

Just a quick note, my kids & I played Diablo 2 over the weekend, and there's a new barbarian added to the Diablo 2 saved games section of this site.  You can link to it from the left-hand navigation.

He's a good barbarian, named Mox (short for moxie), and he's a nice starter character.  He's level 8 (if I recall correctly) and I never assigned his stats or skills, so he's got a buildup of 35 or so points that you can dump into his stats.  Have fun!
