I recently watched an extremely enjoyable and inspiring presentation at Google by a researcher with University of Washington’s Keeping Found Things Found project. In the presentation, William Jones covers a wide range of organization topics, going beyond the usual folders vs. tags debate to a more comprehensive look at the how’s and the why’s of […]

Wow, I just found out about this. SketchUp, a cool 3D sketching and modeling tool “for the rest of us” that I played around with at Macworld this January, was recently bought by Google and is now available for free! (There’s still a Pro version for sale though.) Unfortunately, the Mac version isn’t out yet, […]

But blummy is actually very cool. It allows you to click just one button on your bookmarks toolbar and see all of the bookmarklets you like to use appear in […]

Read this and this, and then come back and tell me this isn’t the next big thing. I think it is. I wasn’t even aware there was a publishing protocol in the works based on Atom until today when a friend forwarded an article that was on eWeek a couple of months ago. After reading […]

Update: I just fixed a typo in the Tooltip URL. My bad!
Davey Shafik, a well-known PHP coder, has now released some Javascript fun for us Web geeks. It’s called Tooltip.js, and it allows you to create tooltips for various elements on your pages while using all the latest fun Javascript effects that you are used […]

I’m posting this from a very nifty little Mac OS X Dashboard widget called WordPressDash. Just hit F12 (or whatever your Dashboard activation key is), type in some text, and hit PublishPost. I envision myself using this regularly rather than the standard WordPress browser interface, just because I like widgets and it’s easy to get […]
