This is a "simple" low-voltage detection setup, managed with a PICAXE 08M2 microcontroller (and some supporting hardware) to manage the accessories on my motorcycle.
Background
The problem: motorcycle batteries are barely strong enough to start a bike on the first/2nd try. The lowest-possible load on my battery is about 80-100W. High-beams are another 65W, auxiliary lighting is another 70-100W, heaters are 18-36W, plus a few watts here and there for things like brake lights, iPhone chargers, etc.
On my Bandit, this extra load can drain the battery in under 30 seconds, low enough that it can't be started. On a related note, I'm getting pretty good at push-starting this bike.

A simple content plugin which generates a "keyword cloud" at the end of every article.
Keywords are selected from the article's metadata, comma-separated keywords. They are then sized 1-5 (definitions in css) based on the relative hit frequency in the keywords in all viewable articles.
Each keyword is linked out to a search page for that keyword.
