The new standard starter project for any web-based code library is creating a Flickr gallery widget. It’s Hello World 2.0.

I attended a presentation on “Inbox Zero” by Merlin Mann and he made a great observation about all those email chain jokes and Snopes items you get from non-tech savvy people:
Forwarding emails is like blogging for old people.
Pegged it!

I have been a fan of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for a while, but I just found out that there’s a Pastafarian Gospel! The Eight “I’d really rather you didn’t”s is some of the best stuff I’ve read in a while! Love it!

One of those videos videos where I’m sitting there saying “yep, uh-huh, yeah, I know how that goes…”. Why is it so hard to get motivation sometimes?

Check out this great Google Maps parody. Just a quite literal example of the perception that “The map is not the territory“.

I find this quote from the Washington Post about the new Google Calendar pretty thought provoking:
With Google Maps, they were starting to control space, and here they are starting to control time.
Welcome to the Googleverse.

I was happy to hear about eSnips re-releasing this week on Mashable, even if Pete is less than optimistic about it. One of the eSnips team, Efrat Moshkoviz, liked my comments there and even put me on the blogroll! eSnips currently does a lot of things other bookmarking/archiving services don’t and I’m glad they seem to be still working on making their service even better!
I got several invites to betas over the last few days, Boxxet, Krugle and Riya. They’re all pretty cool so far… Hopefully I’ll have a chance to write up some reviews soon. I love betas!

Well, not as if my post rate has been standard, but I won’t be around for a little bit. Ten out of the next 36 hours will be spent training in Aikido at my dojo’s 10th anniversary seminar, then I immediately fly to San Diego for the O’Reilly Emerging Tech Conference!! Woohoo! I’m very excited!

Today at lunch I recieved this message from my fortune cookie: “Your existence contributes positively to mankind”. Hmmm…. well, I’m certainly glad that I’m not a detriment!!

I want one of these new rubber bracelet USB devices. If only they came with at least 1GB of space instead of 256MB…

One more step towards the future, guys. Make these self-replicating robots nano-sized and it’ll be The Diamond Age
The video called “Birds” on this site is so cool. Hairy dogs + gravity + slow motion = very cute!

Google made me smile today by adopting the XMPP standard for GTalk so that I can now use GTalk in Trillian! My IM circle is now complete!

My tutorial on P2V with NTBackup got picked up by the VMWare blog! Cool! They gave me an inadvertent gender change, but I guess it’s not expected for a girl to know how to do these sort of things!!

“Do you want fries with that?” is the first thing that comes to mind when looking at this oil-cooled PC. The second thing is: just imagine trying to take that CPU back to Fry’s customer service if it doesn’t work…

Awesome! My post on Amazing Circles got picked up by Make Magazine for the links via Del.icio.us on their site. Not a featured article or anything but exciting to me just the same!

I am missing my daily MoMB fix!! Nothing since the yearly wrap-up in mid December. Please come back! Must… have… betas…

Thanks to Dave Kellam of Eightface.com for his nice FlickrRSS plugin! I just wish I could figure out how often the RSS fires and how to manually trigger it (I added some photos to Flickr and want them to show up!!). It’s a cool plugin though and I recommend people check it out.
Have I drunk too much of the Google Kool-aid? Why do I enjoy these rumors so much? At least I’m not the only one who gets caught up in it. I think the rumors are made from what people expect to happen next in the evolution of technology, so they just project those expectations on Google (the most likely candidate for making them happen) because they really want to see it all come to pass. Well, everything but the panda army at least…
This PCMCIA slot storable mouse seems like a cool idea, but if it sticks out like my USB 2.0 hub card did, it will be destroyed in under 2 weeks.
I think Swiss Army should modify their cards to fit in the slot instead! Maybe one with a mini screwdriver toolkit…

I may have to think about this some more but it looks like Google is putting more pieces into place to make it even more indespensible (and unavoidable) to our lives. If the theories about hubs and wireless access for everyone are true, this should be an interesting year.

There’re not many things more awesome than realizing you’ve got a whole extra day of vacation coming you didn’t know you had! Woohoo, just found out that I get tomorrow off for New Year’s!

The Future of Web Apps: “One-day conference focusing on the development technology you’ll be using tomorrow.”
… sigh. Too bad I don’t live in London!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone out there!
Hope Santa has been good to you!
