Aug 23 around 8 pm mountain time

Chosen

Harvest:

Chosen is a JavaScript plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. It is currently available in both jQuery and Prototype flavors.

I can’t seem to train myself to push up to scroll down on OS X Lion. It’s the weirdest feature.
