You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, or drag the image around to reveal
a different area.

This viewer requires MS Silverlight plug-in. It was surprisingly easy (relatively)
to make.

Once in a while words just pop into my head. Probably due to brain cells spontaneous
combustions. But today's words are "object transmogrification." I'm not sure what
they mean.
</p>
        <p>
Now I have to invent concepts to fill out those words. What if "object transmogrification",
in the context of computers, means that objects have the ability to upgrade themselves.
For instance, from a Ford Escort, to a Lexus that knows how to parallel park on its
own, because of mounted cameras.
</p>
        <p>
What if this "object transmogrification" thingy can manifest itself in adaptive UI.
Say, when you're working with an application, and you're a novice. You'd get a simple
UI. And when you're ready to graduate to the next level, you just click on the "Transmogrify"
button, and you'd get the next version of complexity of that application.
</p>
        <p>
Cool. Hopefully, I can give this idea some more thoughts, as I'm easily distracted.

Look, tiny butterflies...<br /></p>

      <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">uTorrent has the best installation experience
so far for me:<br /><br /><p><img src="http://MiddaySoftware.com/MinhsGallery/uTorrent_ico.gif" /></p><p>
Not only it's a stand-alone .exe file that can be ran anywhere, but it also does self-installation:

... by detecting whether or not it's already been installed and moving itself to the
C:\Program Files\uTorrent directory.

Nice.
