Syndication Sensation
You're sitting there thinking to yourself: “Yeah, RSS is great and all – but why doesn't Courtney wear a thong in her Webcam? And would she really spank my IP? That, and how do I set up an RSS feed for my site – or for a site that doesn't have one available?” Looks like [...]
RSSing the Bar
Jodie says I look like the Uniblogger with this jersey on. I've just been feedin' my need for news. Somebody linked to Feedstering Mozilla, but I'm still using IE 90% of the time. Never fear! TweakUI for XP is here! Within its 'Internet Explorer' entry, open the Search branch. Create a new search prefix, enter [...]
Handheld Hell
Why doesn't someone create a reverse eBay of sorts? I'm looking for a way to… “backup” my Game Boy cartridges via USB. I found a few scattered online retailers that carry the Gameboy Advance XG-Flash 256MB, but each one of the sites has lousier than lousy ratings. Even Craig's list didn't help me (and where's [...]
Ben and Mena MP3
The blog song via Solonor. If this doesn't launch someone into the A list, I don't know what will. A box of Krispy Kremes?
Too Much Information
Gretchen returned a foam pillow to Brookstone this evening. I stood outside the store, peering over the balcony to the floors below. From behind, I hear: “Hey, it's Chris Pirillo!” My normal reaction would be to turn and run, but somehow the mall had rendered my instincts moot. Turns out to be pt (master of [...]
Gnomedex 3.0 Updates
Hey folks! The site (as you can see) is still coming together – including the speakers page. We're working on a handful of BIG names for you. So, who's already confirmed? You're not going to believe it – but I'll tell you, anyway. How'd you like to shake hands with Jim Louderback? Ya know, the [...]
Shocking News
We needed an extension cord, so I picked one up from Radio Shack this afternoon. It came with a tag attached, but I tore it off so that I could transcribe the warning for you. Danger! [That's how it starts] Electrical cords can be hazardous. Misuse can result in FIRE or DEATH by ELECTRICAL SHOCK. [...]
RSS Feed Jackpot
I was checking out a link that someone sent me earlier, and stumbled upon this jackpot of RSS feeds. Insane! They've even got one set up for Robert Blake, for chrissake. Now, if only they'd add Charlie, I'd be set. I'm telling ya – if you don't have a RSS file, I ain't likely to [...]
The $99 Tech Conference
The new Gnomedex site is live.
Game Boy!
Link lives on with this afternoon's purchase of a Game Boy Advance SP. I couldn't resist. The last handheld gaming system I owned was Sega's Game Gear. Now I have a feeling the GB is going to 0wn me. It's so compact – and backwards compatible (for the most part). Got any old cartridges you [...]
More Stuff 4 Less
My new favorite blog: More Stuff 4 Less. Now, imagine combining this with Marc's idea. Stop going to content – start letting it come to you. That was the idea behind starting Lockergnome seven years ago. The model is changing, and I believe I'm ready to adapt.
You Down with Audigy?
I love upgrades – especially when they work. Right now I'm listening to my MC Hawking MP3s on test hardware: Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 speakers plugged into a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum card. Physics has never sounded so good. Hell, even the little 'klack' that Windows spits back when I click a link sounds [...]
Kevin Costner's Butt
Tired of hearing about “the War?” So were Elijah Wood and Kevin Costner. They successfully lobbied Fuzzy to enable you to search the Feedster database and return non-war results. Nice, eh? Now, if only we could get all the other indexes to follow suit. In recent days, I've found myself turning to Feedster instead of [...]
Terrorist Attack in SF!
Let's read the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language's definition of terrorism: “The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.” Now, let's read this story. [...]
Pissin' for Peace
Like yourself, I was in shock and awe when I heard that some folks had organized a 'vomit in' in our fair city of San Francisco. Did anybody bother to think about the feelings of all of those anorexic people out there? They've got nothing to contribute to the cause! Normally, I wouldn't bring up [...]
