FriendFeed open sourced their web server technology, "Tornado" this week.
Quoted: Tornado looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the non-blocking web server and tools.

Very nice in-browser protocol analyzer for Firefox. Great for seeing redirects and third part requests (survives page redirects unline FireBug's Net tab).

I didn't know about the required <form> attribute:
enctype="multipart/form-data"
if you want to include a file upload control in your form. Annoyingly, w3school's web site has NO MENTION of this even when documenting the <input type="file"> tag.
FAIL.

My patent (assigned to Microsoft) on using GPS data to augment a web browser request. This patent took 6 years(!) to issue (filed in 1998 and issued in 2004).
I'm not aware of any products using this now. The invention uses a new HTTP request header to send the user's GPS location. A GPS-aware server, can then respond with geo-targeted results AND provide a geo-graphic "expiration" zone (the comapatible browser will re-fresh automatically when the user leaves the valid zone).
