After benefiting from the site multiple times, I decided to start contributing to DZone Snippets, a source for useful source code snippets. There's not much there yet, but you can follow my snippets at http://snippets.dzone.com/user/jeffreybarke.

Also Webmonkey.com is having a re-launch party next Wednesday, 11 June, from 6 pm through 8 pm at Sweet & Vicious in Manhattan. There will be music, beverages and good cheer, and theMechanism will be attending.

Jeffrey Barke is senior developer and information architect at theMechanism, a multimedia firm with offices in New York, London and Durban, South Africa.
