I noticed on Surf The Channel that they had a new video - a Doctor Who short that I must say was incredibly boring. I looked in the Related LInks on Youtube and there was an actual news story about the making of the video. I clicked that and found it to be even more boring than the short.

Then in the related links, there was a video called "DAVID TENNANT AND BILLIE PIPER SHAGGING IN THE TARDIS SET". Three and a half minutes long. With a heading like that, how could I resist clicking on it?

I’d been toying with the idea of writing a sort of Hypercard, to enable easy application development. But I’ve been beaten to it - www.tilestack.com is a free-as-in-beer, web-based Hypercard player and editor. It actually converts the Hypertalk language to Javascript so you can run stacks on any web browser/OS combo that supports Javascript (pretty much anything).

Very cool. It’s invitation-only at the moment while they finalise some stuff, but you can request an account with them all the same. I hope to give it a full run-down. They are also talking about it being deployable through Gears too, later down the track - but I guess you could just save the web page?
