SSLmatic SSL Certificate Giveaway Winners
On Monday I shared with you my experience with SSLmatic, a provider of cheap SSL certificates. SSLmatic was nice enough to give me five SSL certificates to give away. Four days, one random-PHP-script, and many FTW's later, our winners are:
- Matt (Jason Lee) - Jason Lee was good 10 years ago but has gone down hill, in my opinion.
- Fábio M. Costa (Johnny Depp) - I'm a huge Depp fan. I have a framed photo of him in my cube at work...that's not weird, right?
- Jeremy Parrish (Jim Parsons) - There's no further proof that this choice was random than the fact that I'm allowing someone who gave that name to have a free SSL certificate.
- Timothy (Tina Fey) - Watched 30 Rock for the first time a few weeks ago and it's been DVR'ing ever since. She's quite a talent.
- Babatunde Adeyemi (Jason Stathom) - The movie Snatch is unbelievable but ever since this guy's been putting out crap. He went from a manly man to rubbish.
Thank you to everyone that entered!

![fetch API]()

![Duplicate the jQuery Homepage Tooltips Using MooTools]()
The jQuery homepage has a pretty suave tooltip-like effect as seen below:
Here's how to accomplish this same effect using MooTools.
The XHTML
The above XHTML was taken directly from the jQuery homepage -- no changes.
The CSS
The above CSS has been slightly modified to match the CSS rules already...
![iPhone-Style Passwords Using MooTools PassShark]()
Every once in a while I come across a plugin that blows me out of the water and the most recent culprit is PassShark: a MooTools plugin that duplicates the iPhone's method of showing/hiding the last character in a password field. This gem of...
Nice, thanks David!
Johnny Depp FTW!
Having a framed photo of him is very weird!
Thanks! :P
Jason Stathom’s Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels is good as well. Everything else is garbage.
Congratulations guys, my “Johny Walked FTW” didn’t win for some reason :p

Thanks a great bunch David.
Awesome, thanks a lot David!
For the record…pre-My Name is Earl Jason Lee – Banky and Brodie FTW!
