Many years ago, I decided to reinvent the `blink` tag, because the monsters who make browsers removed support for it.

I didn't know you could just make up tags, but I figured I'd give it a shot, and with a bit of jquery glue and playing with visibility settings, I was able to fix browsers and bring back the glorious blinking. I was surprised you could just do that; I would have assumed that the types of tags are final.

I thought about open sourcing it, but it was seriously like ten lines of code and I suspect that there are dozens of things that did the same thing I did.
