      <![CDATA[<p>This weekend <a href="http://www.hairyalien.com/">Arin</a> took <a href="http://www.majordojo.com/photos/harper-ford-reese/gallery/umm_cuuuute.php">Harper</a> to Los Angeles to visit parents/grandparents and for Harper to get his first haircut. Dad stayed home to do a few chores, order lots of pizza, stay up late watching television, and of course: hack.</p>

<p>I worked on a new feature for <a href="http://www.runtestrun.com/">Test Run</a>: allowing users to reorder test cases however they want. I wanted to make this process as intuitive and as painless as possible, which ruled out the typical approach to this problem: having an editable sort key in a form input field of some kind. Such an approach would be far too cumbersome and annoying.</p>

<p>Enter <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/">Yahoo's YUI libraries</a>, specifically their <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/dragdrop/">drag-and-drop library</a>. Yahoo's toolkits really couldn't make implementing these kinds of features easier. These open source javascript libraries make simple hackers like me, look, well, extraordinary. Thank you Yahoo. I owe you one.</p>

<p>Of course I could tell you about this new feature, or I could simply show you:</p>
