What's Sqoo Media up to?

Smashing magazine produces some great lists of interactive techniques using JavaScript libraries, this is a list of some of them that I may use (or as is usual, write myself).

I like this one for the way it makes a lists of links inviting to interact with, needs a jQuery version :) http://www.web-kreation.com/demos/mootools-1.2_mouseenter-mouseleave/

I need an improved calendar system (and this is code I dont like to write myself). This looks great http://www.stefanoverna.com/log/create-astonishing-ical-like-calendars-with-jquery

One thing I want to add to SqooDriver 2.0 is an improved image manager. At the moment images are resized to a number of predefined sizes that are used on the site on upload. I want to allow cropping by the user before the image is uploaded and the facility to make a thumbnail image that isn’t just a smaller version of the main image. This looks just the ticket http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html

I came across this map last year and was good to be reminded of it. For fixed areas of zooming it can provide a much more pleasant experience than embedding Google Maps. 

An elastic thumbnail may come in handy http://buildinternet.com/2009/09/sproing-make-an-elastic-thumbnail-menu/

Another great list is mentioned by SM which contains 11 really useful little plugins, the kind of things I write myself http://trif3cta.com/blog/entry/jquery-plugins-under-4k/

Oh and this is amazing http://razorjack.net/quicksand/ :D
