With everything going on recently, and me being so incredibly busy with side projects, I completely forgot to mention that I switched back to Firefox over the holidays. I’m still a tremendous supporter of Flock and will continue to track its progress, but I simply can’t use the pre-1.0 version of the software. Not until […]
SNAP to it!
Looks like I’m one of the limited 10% of WordPress users to get the new SPA link preview feature. I’ve seen this feature in action over on Techcrunch and thought of it as a slick little tool then. It doesn’t hit the processor hard with every preview, though some seem to load a bit faster […]
Damn, he kept the “z”…
I told him not to, but he did it anyways. I’m not going to bother visiting, but good luck to Om and whole Giga crew on this new endeavor.
GigaGamez? No, Om. Just…no.
I don’t know how this slipped past me the other day, but I’ve just now caught up with the realization that Om Malik will be calling his new gaming-related blog GigaGamez. Om. No. I’m 99.9% certain you will never read this blog, but nonetheless, I implore you. No. Drop the z. Replace it with an […]
Google Reader search?
On Robert‘s many glowing recommendations, I’ve switched from using Flock’s built-in RSS feed reader, to using Google Reader, and so far, I’m loving it. It’s a fast, dead simple, “river of news” format that just clicks with me. But after using the tool for a couple of weeks, I have to ask: where’s the search […]
Vandalize the chicken article!
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Ryan North? HOW IT WORKS: Simple! I just said. Instead of vandalizing Wikipedia in general, we all just vandalize the chicken article. How does it work? Dudes already know about chickens. Ladies also already know about chickens. Does an encyclopedia really need an article about nature’s tastiest […]
The fight to get noticed
Interesting. Both Robert and Michael are talking about small companies and start-ups trying to get attention in an accelerating web-based market. The main difference is that while Mike is trying to figure out a solution, Robert is simply giving up. Arrington: MothersClick is a perfectly good startup that we would normally cover. Lots of other […]
I don’t like Google Docs
I was going to say I hate Google Docs, but that’s a bit strong. Anyone who had documents with Writely prior to the big server shift yesterday will know what I mean. Writely had a sexy, lean, smooth, web 2.0 interface. The ajax was slick, the usability was high. Then, Google got their hands on […]
Mike pisses off mainstream news media, film at 11
So, Mike talks to the Online News Association at their annual conference about how they’re becoming obsolete, and wonders why they were so suddenly so antagonistic towards him? Please. It shouldn’t be a surprise to you, Mike, that you were treated as the young, energetic upstart to their aging dinosaur. You can’t wait for the […]
Shutterfly IPO
Looks like popular photo site Shutterfly had a very successful opening on the stock exchange. Good for them! Marshall does an excellent job of pointing out why people (like my wife and I) use Shutterfly. The best advantage? Holiday cards. We’ve used Shutterfly to send out our holiday cards for the past three years, and […]
