So the hack contest is over. There were quite a few interesting hacks that I've spotted -- the mind is a bit too fuzzy to remember everything cool I saw, yet some funky highlights:

• A progress bar that overfloats and the water floods off the right edge of it, filling the entire window. Cool.
  
• Ping-pong thingie that runs over screens of networked computers. Inventive.
  
• Longhorn-like spinning windows with variable opacity and tracking paths. Ours (ok, actually, just Rosyna's, since I just lurked around).
  
• A cartoon about MacHack. Fun.
  
• A thingie to arbitrary move the Cocoa controls in a window and even drag them into other windows. Slick.
  
• That click-and-a-half Finder thingie to reveal contents quickly. Useful.
  
• Probably some others which I don't recall right now.
  

So we see who wins. There's so many of these fun hacks I'll have problems voting tomorrow, I guess. And I really should stop using the word 'thingie' so often. Blame Rosyna.

PS On a completely unrelated note, my son turned 2 today. Hooray!
