I'm not a big user of images - though I have a digital camera, I
typically end up using it less than I probably should. I think
one of my goals for next year will be to actually get some of
the images off the memory card in the camera and let people see
the pictures I've taken. One step in that process is to get them
in a format that makes them nice looking. A single page without
much around it, as you often see on a web page, can be downright
ugly. Enter Lightbox.  This JavaScript framework is a fairly
simple way to display pictures with a sort of frame around them
- the image is actually assigned a special HTML segment, and the
surrounding section of the page is blacked out, giving the
viewer a much more pleasing experience than a simple image
without much around it. There are three problems with Lightbox.
The first is that it's big, the second is that it's slow to load
and the third (and most important) is that it doesn't work!
Luckily, there are some options.  One of the coolest options is
