Take 3...

Trying to embed rather than link...thinking aloud...How's that?

Close enough

Let's try this. Let's just link the video..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYvh1csC3jg. There! Very entertaining!

Youtube is alot of fun. In fact, its so fun, I've assembled a short list of favorites from memory to link, and I just trumped up this blog to have a place to link 'em to. I think I registered last year, but I haven't heard back about my "I forgot my usrename" request. Look at the 'MEOWARCHY' series of videos for now.

Eh

The Power Tools 'thing' had some fun points. I like Tech Crunch alot, and Boing Boing and MAKE are kinda neat, and WorldCat is a valuable customer service tool. Eventually, I'll take the useful elements and patch them into my delicious tags and Netvibes start page and whatnot. Then I never need to navigate to the Power Tools page. Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. (evil laughter continues, and so forth)

Dashboard 2.0

I opted to sign up for a start page that got 1st in category called Netvibes.com. i can use it to have onscreen all the RSS feeds, websites, weather and news info, to do lists, calendars and just about anything I might need all tiled out and accessible, which is great. The next thing will be to set up the layout, and then, since I ran through some of the "things" quickly in the interest of checking it off the list, I can go back and look around some more. Its like having all your web 2.0 favorites on a dashboard.

Sold!

This Google docs "thing" is really impressive. I'd like to use it to put together an investment club. Who's interested? "We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful." - Warren Buffet.

BANG!

I've got 3 hours straight on the floor, and I've got Thing 16 under my belt, so the rest is gravy. It took me most of an hour and a half, but once you find the sandbox (hint: search for 'sandbox, click 'read the full post') it went smoothly. The demo http://pbwiki.com/content/viewdemo is as good (almost) as the CommonCraft ones. I've already weighed in on the excellence of wikis' reduction of redundancy, and it was refreshing to find it all manageably intuitive in real life.
