I love coming up with stupid little widgets.

Critique please.

The ghosts move in the ebay tool, when viewed in ie, but for some reason, I cannot get it to work in ff.

While I can see some point to the ebay one, I don't see any point to the bob one. You may want to check spelling on the ebay site.

the yellow is hard on the eyes with the dark backround

What is the (admittadly unexplicable) picture of the Gulf of Mexico doing there (other than slowing down the page load time)? I didn't quite understand the purpose of the ebay site, but then again, I don't sell on ebay.

I put the pic of the gulf of mexico there because I thought it was funny at the time. I left it there because in three or four years, I'll look back at it and think it was funny. It's funny because it makes no sense. I guess that's just me, tho.

The purpose of the baby name evaluator was to keep my wife from continually bugging me with trying to come up with a name for our bun in the oven. It was supposed to be funny too, but she found no humor in it.

The eBay thing is haunted for no reason whatsoever, and that is funny to me also. I have no idea why. Maybe because when I built it, it was halloween. It is a halloween-y thing. Ok, it's purpose is to parse out the ebay item number from the ads.doubleclick URL that comes in from ebay, for auction searches that I am watching. none of the computers I use can connect to ads.doubleclick URLs, becuase they are marketing click demographic recording devices, and I feel that I do not want my clicks counted by them, so I found a way around it. An auction search alert is something that you can set up through ebay (I don't even think you need to be a customer, I am not sure), where let's say you are looking to get a boat, and whenever someone puts a boat up for auction, within say 50 miles of your location, you want to be notified about it. So they notify you.
