A lot of what's here are JavaScript items--some of which I have actually learned myself--that I downloaded from the multitude of JavaScript sources on the Web and either just cut and pasted "as is" or adapted for my own use. I don't know about you, but I can't even begin to count the number of times someone has asked me, "Hey, Dorrit, how old are you in dog years, and P.S., do you know how to say 'do you know how to buy a pair of frog legs' in French?"

Eventually I hope to have some Flash-based items in here.

Automatic Dorrit Retort Generator

Just can't think of the words with which to give someone a sound tongue lashing? This will help.

DorConcentration

Yep, it's just like the old TV show, but with better pictures under the cards and no dopey host. Oh, and you don't get any prizes either. This is timed, and although the timer starts as soon as the page loads if you do a resize, it'll start from 0:00. You'll also get a message at the end that tells you how long you took to complete the puzzle.

Whack-a-Dot Game

This is actually kind of fun for being so simple. You see how many of the dots you can hit in 30 seconds, and you get points taken off for the ones you miss. It's essentially "whack a mole" without the moles. And I was too lazy to figure out how to use images of moles instead of the plain form circles that were already in the code. Hence the "whack a dot" title.

Human-to-Dog-Years Calculator

If you were a dog, how old would you be? This will tell you. although since dogs age appromixately eight to ten times as fast as we do, the results aren't pretty. Oh, and if any dogs are in the audience, this won't work for you. It doesn't go "dog to human," just the other way around. Sorry. If you're smart enough to use a computer--especially without having opposable thumbs--I'd think you already know how old you are, Mr. or Ms. Fido SmartyPants.

Instant French Phrase Translator

This will only show you how to say certain select phrases in French, but sometimes that's enough to get by, or at least convince someone you don't want to talk to that you're foreign so they should stop yammering at you and leave you alone. If this had been around twenty years ago my high school French teacher, Mrs. Pablo, might not have had that nervous breakdown after having me in her class for two years.
