I’m trying to find a Lightbox-ish plugin that will allow me to display a photo gallery from a single thumbnail. Most other gallery plugins require all the images from that gallery to be shown.

For example, I want to show:
5 thumbnails for 5 different galleries, each containing 10-20 images.

The only thing I’ve been able to come up with so far is to use something like this to open up greybox window that contains a jQ gallery (e.g. a separate web page, like the Google example). Does it really have to be that complicated?

I have a "day job" that gives me a steady paycheck and I plan on doing more freelancing next year. I’m about to fill out a new W-4 form for my "day job". Will I be safe adding in some additional withholding to the W-4 based on 30% of my estimated freelance income? I’ve read some things about paying taxes quarterly, but i think that’s only if I’m not withholding more money from my "day job" paycheck. Any thoughts are advice will be appreciated.

Just seems like it would be easier to get more taken out of every paycheck than to remember to pay every quarter…

I have a great idea for a web application/site that hasn’t been done before and is very simple and useful for its purpose.. I know everyone with a "good idea" thinks this way, but I honestly feel it has potential to gain a lot of traction and attention, especially from advertisers. I’m wondering if anyone has advice on how to begin such a project?

I could make the initial site with my current (average) knowledge and then adjust/redo as it grows or I could invest some money and/or offer royalties to other developers to assist in its creation. Anybody thoughts or suggestions?
