Wow. More later.
Does anyone actually like Meebo Rooms?
Ordinarily, I only talk about things on this blog that I like. When I come across a cool video, a nifty web utility, or a slick piece of software, I like to talk about how great it is. I don’t usually complain about something I encounter, unless it’s something that means a lot to me. […]
Word from a rehabilitated former WYSIWYG hater
I just now, today, about a half-hour or so ago, discovered Nvu. All I really wanted was a WYSIWYG editor that could help cut the amount of time I spend updating my HTML-based Wii game tracker “database”. Right now, when I have an update to a game on one of my pages, I have to: […]
The xFruits of my labor
On Lifehacker’s recommendation, I’ve been playing with the RSS mixer tool, xFruits, lately. My goal was to create what I call a LifeFeed, which is a combination of (a lot of, but not nearly all) pieces of content that I am producing/tracking on the internet. This is essentially an aggregated RSS feed containing the following […]

Productivity: IMified and 30boxes
I had never even heard of either IMified or 30boxes until I saw a demonstration of both provided by Scoble (actually, it’s courtesy of Erica, but Scoble videoed it). Now I’m using both, and absolutely loving them. 30boxes is essentially a calendering suite. But it’s much more than that. It’s faster and sleeker then Google […]
Ficlets: making mini-fiction into a social app
This. Is. Brilliant. John Scalzi has announced the creation of Ficlets, which is basically a social app consisting entirely of collaborative short fiction. And it is a phenomenal idea. At the very heart of the concept is what we’ve been trying to do over at the Evil Avatar Writer’s Guild. Which is concentrate writing into […]
At least they’re honest about it
Number six on the list of things you evidently didn’t know about Wikipedia: We don’t want you to trust us. It’s in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest scholarly quality, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We try to keep the ratio of the greatest to […]
Host your webcomic on ComicSpace…today?
Josh has promised us comic hosting on ComicSpace today. I expect this to be monumental news once launched. I’ll probably throw a comic or two up there just to play around with the tools. Could this be a better alternative to Comicgenesis, Web Comics Nation, and Drunk Duck? The community is already there (webcomickers flew […]
