I’ve been wondering why my favorite keystroke launcher hadn’t been integrating well with the latest release of my favorite browser. Apparently, Firefox 3’s new and more sophisticated bookmarks and history engine doesn’t auto-export bookmarks to HTML, which is what keystroke launchers like Quicksilver and Launchy use to index bookmarks. And, of course, someone out there [...]
Hat tip to Christine for finding this, but it brings back memories of a video I made back in senior year of high school. Imagine how the story of Hamlet would have played out had there been Facebook at the time: HAMLET (FACEBOOK NEWS FEED EDITION). BY SARAH SCHMELLING – – – - Horatio thinks [...]
I’ve mentioned on more than one occasion my love for Google Reader. And here’s another reason to throw into the mix: analytics. While this is a feature I don’t use very often, it’s nevertheless very interesting to look at (translation: I spent an hour looking at it, and feel like if I don’t blog about [...]
Rich people don’t do things the way normal peons like you or me do. They buy yachts and play golf and date supermodels and go to the opera. That’s apparently why they need their own social networking sites, such as SPiRE, DiamondLounge, and aSmallWorld. I don’t know much about the individual sites, as I apparently [...]
Can’t afford/too stupid to create a web app skeleton for yourself? Why not do it on paper? (Hat tip: Eric)
The assumption underlying most consulting professions is that it is possible for highly trained individuals to be brought up to speed quickly on unfamiliar projects/businesses/initiatives to contribute valuable advice. Whether or not this is true probably varies from type of consulting, but it raises an interesting issue, why stop at just advice or support? And [...]
After about a year of slide-umentation, it’s nice to finally see a business person use slides the way they were meant to be used. And, no, this wasn’t at my client, it was at this past week’s Apple WWDC. Take it away, Mr. Jobs (all pictures are from Engadget’s liveblogging): Simple. Unwordy. Clear in meaning. [...]
For those of you not as interested in developments in the “interwebz” and not currently reading my Google Reader share feed, today marks the release of the third incarnation of Firefox. I’ve posted before on why Firefox is my favorite browser, and this latest version improves on what was already a pretty good thing. Although [...]
I’m a big techy. I also like Star Trek. And computer games. And the coolness of constructed languages like Esperanto. What could possibly merge all of these interests? Why, Google of course! (hat tip: Google Operating System). Only at Google can you search in Esperanto, in Klingon, in Swedish Chef/Bork, in Elmer Fudd-speak, in Pig [...]
When people think of prolific writers, their mind jumps to people like Charles Dickens or St. Augustine or Shakespeare — individuals who have shaped Western intellectual thought with huge tracts of their wisdom bound together in paper form. They’re about to eat Philip M. Parker’s dust (hat tip: Freakonomics) Philip M Parker, a professor of [...]
