As I’m sitting in stop-and-go traffic outside of Sisters, I’m thinking to myself the sad irony of the situation. It just so happens that this weekend of remembrance for our fallen soldiers is also one of the largest fuel consumption times of the year in America. Whether it’s cars, trucks, RVs or boats, Americans are guzzling gasoline today while our soldiers are dying in Iraq largely because of our nation’s dependence on foreign oil.
I was thinking the other day about the amount of form spam that most web sites get (and again just now as I moderated a ton of blog comments), and I was reminded of a proof of concept I saw a while back. It required the user to utilize drag and drop functionality to submit a form, thus verifying human interaction. Then I thought of the iPhone’s unlock function and how it would make a cool CAPTCHA.
I’ve written a handy JavaScript class for including these types of sliders into a web site- stick around after the break for more details and cool configuration options.
