Via David Weinberger’s blog, came a reference to a time eating web site. Blufr (“bruising your ego one blff at a time”) is more or less a true or false game at various “facts” form Answers.com– the addictive hook is tat each “way” / “no way” right answer bumps you points, you can post links […]
From the dark ages of building web resource collections, I have always stressed the importance of having 1-2 sentences to describe what a web site is about– other wise, what you end with is a linkatorium, a laundry list of URLs or site titles and no context. And this is that is key for me, […]
How is that for Apple listening? A day after I threaten to drive my GMC truck over a blue toothless mouse, the Mac OS 10.4.7 update contains an update to improve bluetooth communication with mouse devices! So far so good, as the mouse has been able to have activated 100% of the time (about 7 […]
Web apps… exploding… Writely as a web word processor. Lazybase is a database… Editgrid is a spreadsheet. That is only the beginning… But now something mind blowing, mood altering, and just plan knock your socks off, how the **** do they do that in a browser?

Following up yesterday’s mess, just getting rafts of emails from people (rightfully) worried Feed2JS makes me heave large sighs. This was a nice little project, that started as something to fill my own needs, that I lofted out on the net… and all of a sudden people around the world are riding on it, small […]
Right now the server running Feed2JS is down and out. I have only the most limited, around the corner and snake up a pole access, but the server is toasted until someone on their IT staff can go in the server room and hard start the server. It’s just a humble XServe getting yanked and […]
flickr foto Geek!available on flickr Yes, he’s on holiday. Yes, he’s in a garden. Yes, he’s checking his email. Yes, he wanted to "work from home" the following week. It never fails when someone asks me about working from home…. within seconds there is some snickering reference to, “working in your underwear….” So funny. Why […]
I thought I was on the road of redemption with my new found love for a multi-button mouse, a Kensington Bluetooth PilotMouse. The need for this came as a result of the lack of any way on the XP side of my MacBookPro to right click anything. The Kensington mouse I got had a great […]
