A smattering of opinions on technology, books, business, and culture. Now in its 4th technology iteration.

Tried and liked:
* CustomizeGoogle via Larkware. And the required greasemonkey addon to firefox is great. * Firefox search plugins. I had no idea you could add these in. Cool. How do I create my own? * After months of footdragging, finally installed this gmail shell extension. Very cool. * JimH’s rumour city. Loved the ancestor of this toy back in WFW days… * Power Supply Wattage Calculator via Pirillo. I’ll never build a PC without it again.
Meaning to try:
* Essential Mac Software now that I have a mini. * ipodder. i’m so late to this game. * Olivelink. downloading beta now. * Never miss an episode with rss and bittorrent. i’m still bittorrenting the old-fashioned way. * naslite. Lightweight nas software for the home/office. * picasa 2. I’m kind of burnt out on photo software – none of the packages ever seem to really help me that much. But i should try again. * divx codecs. Actually i already have some variant of these, just a reminder here where to look for them – http://www.divx.com/divx/download/, http://www.divx-difest.com/software/xvid.html
