Creating a Drupal fisheye menu block

This module is meant to give the ability create a mac style fisheye menu using interface see the sample demo
It uses the interface jQuery library you can see a demo of that here. While this could also be done through the template I wanted a module to allow for admin settings with future better image choices for links and the ability to drop into a site with little work.

Creating a Drupal Mafia style game

I have always wanted to create a web based game from scratch, and started quickly abandoned a few. (Crazy 8's was ready as a stand alone but let it sit I might try later to port to Drupal)

Now since using Drupal for a majority of my development I thought I'd try one for Drupal. By using Drupal I already have an admin interface in which to interact with, a user registration system, and a fairly well documented api in which to develop the game.

Using Google CSE on Drupal

 The goal was to use Google CSE on drupal, and while I got it working it was not near as easy as I would have liked.

At first it seemed simple, google provides two pieces of code; One to build the search form, and one to display the results within your own page.

I added a block for the Google search form which was quite simple. After creating the block I removed Drupals search block and added the new Google search block. (On creating the search engine I gave it the url of http://cross-tags.com/search-result for the results to appear).
