I got your code right here
So the bloggers are all worked up over Tim O’Reilly’s misguided blogger code of conduct. Seriously, he wrote a code of conduct, granted it was in response to some pretty bad conduct, but are we all in 5th grade?
Bloggers seem to be lining up behind it, but there’s a staunch and very reasonable group who [...]
Geekfindr: XHTML & CSS
I’ve just started messing around a little bit in the htmlPlayground. It’s a pretty interesting site - it let’s you interactively play around with xhtml and css attributes while showing you the output of your efforts.
The site is pretty cool, with several panes that list all the tags, css attributes, a little contextual description [...]
Review: Mailinator v. MintEmail v. Guerrilla Mail v. Dodgeit
So after that post on Guerrilla Mail I received via various means tips to a few other services that hit the same sweet spot, namely easy read-only/temporary mailboxes that let you sign up safely and privately for sites that do email verification. The contestants as my cryptic title line put it are: Mailinator, MintEmail, Guerrilla [...]
Review: Goplan (vs Basecamp)
I took a quick look at Goplan the other day to see how it worked. I’m a medium time, off and on Basecamp user and haven’t been fully satisfied with it so was looking to see if Goplan remedied some problems. The executive summary is that I think that Goplan doesn’t feel like a released, [...]
Breakfast Links: RateMyTeacher, Doxory and Smallest Apartments
Monday. Art.
So let’s start out with what, to me, seems like an incredibly bad idea. This site, RateMyTeachers.com let’s parents and students comment on their teachers. Seriously, it’s a place for kids - teenagers even - to comment and rate their teachers. Kids. Rate. Teachers. What possible use could this actually be? I checked out [...]

VodPod, video aggregator mini-review
Hey, I just found Vodpod on a link off YouVert. It’s in beta like everyone else, but it seems very cool. The idea is that you start a “pod” of videos, you can add to them and I think your friends can, too. It’s got all the community features you might hope for, comments, joining [...]
On the reaction to USA Today’s new social features
Here’s something that’s been bothering me. USA Today, relatively recently, relaunched their website with a new design and some interesting community features, notably comments and ratings. Reception of this was decidedly mixed. Some of the complaints are about the design and while I don’t really love it, I don’t particularly hate it either, it’s kind [...]
GeekFinder: Color Matters
UPDATE: So, I just came across this recent post with another great tool. Here he talks about Kuler, an adobe online tool that’s a palette picker and browser of other’s color combo’s (web2.0 style with highest rated/most popular/newest lists). The picker is pretty sweet, I haven’t spent a lot of time with it yet [...]

Is that the sound of the social networking bubble popping?
UPDATE: I just read this post on the same subject. I think to a large degree we’re saying the same thing. He read Andreessen’s quote and interpreted it as a comment on technology, I read it as comment on an understanding of how to use technology - that is, I read it sort of as [...]

Photoshop Online
Read that Adobe is going to release an online version of Photoshop (courtesy lifehacker).
Their reasoning is apparently that everyone else is doing it (online applications) and they don’t want to miss the party. They fear that google will get into the photo editing space and steal a market that could have been Adobe’s. The initial [...]
