Less del.icio.us, more wiki

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

I love del.icio.us, and I’ve used it extensively as a way to quickly bookmark things that I want to be able to find on both my home and work computers. Alas, the network gods at Wachovia have blocked access to the site from the corporate network, so it looks like it’s time to find […]

MoneyTrail

Friday, January 13th, 2006

I got an idea for a web site — MoneyTrail.com. The domain is taken but not active.

On datguy.com, datguy is […]

I wonder… now that Microsoft is taking on the big search engines, are Yahoo and Google going to be forced to merge? Might they call the combined company Yahoogle?

Password generator bookmarklet

Monday, July 18th, 2005

I read about Nic Wolff’s Password generator bookmarklet before, and I meant to check it out, but kept putting it off. Well, I just tracked down the link so I can start using it, and discovered a link to an improved version. The only thing these don’t accomodate are multiple id’s for the […]
