Righteous Bovine! FireBug Lite, the crippled non-FireFox version of Firebug, got 100× cooler and I didn’t know it. It used to be just a very simple console, but now includes most of the inspection features of FireBug proper. Looks like the debugger is missing, and there’s no CSS or HTML editing, though you can “run” […]
Google Chrome, the browser-as-a-modern-operating-system, came out of beta earlier this week. I love that Chrome uses Safari’s WebKit engine. I love that the version it uses is more advanced than that which Safari uses, so you not only get to use fancy CSS3-esque features like box-shadow: and border-radius:, but it features the improved Web Inspector. […]
I use OpenDNS for DNS resolution (the way domain names match up to websites) on my home and office networks. My favorite feature is their URL Shortcuts. I have a bunch of them set up to quickly search various sites I use often: Keyword Website g Google Search gi Google Image Search gm Google Maps […]
A week or so ago, we had tornado watches/warnings in our area. I decided to use Yahoo! Pipes and Twitter to make an early alert system. Weather.gov already offers a ton of XML & RSS feeds. I just needed to filter out the events and areas that didn’t apply, so that only local watches or […]
Amazon.com just opened what looks to be the most worthy iTunes competitor yet. Purchased tracks play on nearly every media player ever made, since they’re DRM-free MP3s. And at 89—99¢ (with variable album pricing), they’re occasionally more economical than iTunes’. So let’s do a price comparison of some music old and new: Song Name iTunes […]
In times past, if you absolutely had to have a hack in your CSS files to target that pesky IE problem, you used to be able to use the Underscore Hack. This useful hack came about because the CSS parser in IE6 ignores the underscore character (_), applying the rule as though it were the […]
Not only does CallWave provide free iPhone-like “visual voicemail” on your Dashboard or in a web browser, they just introduced a new killer feature, for free while it’s in beta: Vtxt message transcription. I just missed a call, and a moment later I received an email with the spoken text of the message in the […]
Um, so, I got tired of the other design. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. More cool stuff coming soon. Like repairing the layout on non-front pages, IE compatibility, and some small software projects. (Oooh.)
What will become of Google in, say, 20 years?
For about 3 or so years now, I’ve had Sony Ericsson phones, starting with the T68i and graduating to the T616. The main feature that I loved about these phones was that I could use them with my PowerBook to get online anywhere I had phone signal. It got even cooler when my second PowerBook […]
