It’s called a tool tip, and if I’m not mistaken, the practice originated in Microsoft software years ago.

Now, to you Web developers, if you’re using a single header graphic spanning the entire page, here’s a tip: be careful what tool tip you use, or else you might create results like the one I inadvertantly found when my mouse traveled to the top of the contact page for United States Senator for Maine Olympia Snowe:

Olympia Moose

Now that’s one handsome woman!

I’m just setting it up now, and I will be migrating old posts from old blogs in the future, just so it’s all safe and sound in one place.

I’ll comment on anything and everything here that happens to strike my fancy; so it might seem a bit on the schizophrenic side at times, but what else do you want from a gemini?
