Every Monday through Thursday, we post a new Monkey Bite on our frontdoor
for your edification. This could be a little news item, a link to a useful
site, a handy coding tip, or just some random piece of information we think
might be of interest to Web developers. Expired Monkey Bites are stored
right here, growing tastier and more sophisticated with each passing day.
This month's Monkey Bites:

The number of registered domain names has increased by [insert shocking
percentage here] in the last year, and the things continue to proliferate at an alarming rate. It's high time for a more useful search mechanism than
the old "is this domain taken? Well, how about this one?" technique of yesteryear. Domain Surfer allows
you to search in one swell foop for all the registered domains containing, say, the word "cowboy". How's that for useful?

Even past masters of JavaScript sometimes crave a particular effect whose
implementation isn't at the tips of their fingers. For moments like
these--say you don't remember offhand how to send a user back to his or her
homepage in Netscape 4 — there is Internet Related
Technologies. IRT's JavaScript FAQ in
particular has hundreds of solutions and shortcuts so you can nail down
that effect in cut-n-paste seconds instead of trial-n-error minutes. They also have JavaScript browser games, by the
way, for those short-attention-span moments.

Happy Mustache Week! As you know, Mustache Week is a very special time here at Webmonkey. We even made a banner that you can use on your site, but of course, the most important thing to do is let that 'stache grow. Goatees have had their day — it's time for society to let the mustache back into its heart. Stay tuned to this spot for more mustache-related excitement all week long!
