Go visit the SVG Roadshow. I started a post over at GetSVG to try and gather some cool demos, games, experiments that show off SVG in the browser. I encourage anyone who has something to share to join the forums and add their links.

Looks like Google Chat has implemented sound notifications. DownloadSquad reports that "Oddly, you need to have Flash enabled in order to hear the ping". Not exactly odd to me, as I mentioned before, there's no nice cross-browser way to do sound in the browser currently without using Flash. Kudos to Macromedia/Adobe for being so widely deployed and useful in this context. If nimble browser development camps like Mozilla could follow Opera's lead on implementing HTML5's Audio interface this would be a Good Thing.
