I flew up to Toronto for a 2-hour meeting, and came home to Boston later that day. Because I’ll likely need to return, I’m jotting this down […]

del.icio.us tag search

I like how del.icio.us offers you the possibility of combining tags in your url. You can use this feature to search del.icio.us for really customized filtered results. For example: Let’s say I was interested in computer generated art. Going to the URL: http://del.icio.us/tag/art+technology would bring up a list of all links in […]

Mmm… yummy. Del.icio.us has a new “experimental” posting bookmarklet that recommends tags to use based on link content, and lets you easily pick from your existing tags. Del.icio.us users can find it here

Making the switch to Markdown

Call me old fashioned, but up until today I’ve been quite alright with marking up website using good ol’ HTML. But since everyone’s doing it, and it comes with Wordpress, I figured I’d give Daring Fireball’s Markdown a try. Here’s what it is: a humane text generator . Instead of typing a href and other HTML […]

Oz vs. Law and Order

The more I watch Law and Order the more I recognize actors from HBO’s Oz. Here’s a list of common actors: Christopher Meloni played Chris Keller on “OZ” and Elliot Stabler on “Law and Order: SVU.” Lauren Velez played Dr. Gloria Nathan on “OZ” and Stephanie Jameau on “Law and Order: SVU.” […]

tiddlywiki version 2

Just noticed today that Tiddlywiki has a new verison out. It’s probably been out for a while now, but it’s wicked cool, nonetheless. I kinda wish I had a use for it, because it’s just so neat…
