McLame, non-computer user

Now he wants to take the freedom away from the internet with something called the Internet Freedom Act. How dare the government keep the internet free and accessible. Will AT&T will protect us from own dollars better?

skibots are coming

They haven't taken snowboarding away from me yet. As a skateboarder I must view skiers in the same category as rollerbladers. Sorry skifolk, I still respect your ability to make it through the flats.

follow up to moon follow up

Google ftw.

energy independence

It's just this easy people!

ride the tubes

And I thought the Wii balance board looked kind of cool. I'm getting this. I'm not sure why the mouse isn't wireless though since the keyboard obviously is.

crazy train

I can't get enough of the songsmith remixes.

one more reason to visit Dubai

xoopit

I just threw this plugin into the fox, starting to enjoy it quite a bit. Easy video, pic, and attachment navigation within gmail. And they have both an X and infinity in their logo. What more do you need?

instant queue

I was relieved to see Netflix finally roll this out. With this improvement I've cleared out over 60 slots in the main queue. By the way, I use the IE Tab extension for the instant viewing in firefox, or in Media Center.

In other computer news I think this Next Tab extension is pretty handy.

information day

Rogercon pays tribute to the late 1117.

more tetris

You know I've loved the game before with tetris battles and documentaries. Here's some more zaniness.

XM steps it up

I've been happy with XM for a while now, but with 24/7 Zeppelin I'm even more pleased.

jott + mosio = pretty cool

I'm know I've blogged about at least one of these before. Jott is a free voice-to-text message service. Mosio is an alternate to google sms to get answers texted to your phone from real people. I just added mosio to my jott contacts so I can speak questions to mosio and get answers back in text. I haven't figured out how to put google sms into my jott contacts yet, it says the phone number (46645) isn't valid. If anyone has found a workaround for this please share in the comments.

In other related news, I've linked my blog to jott also. I obviously use blogger, but word press, type pad, twitter, and a bunch of others are supported too. Maybe I can save a few of the calls I make to The Sunshine Empire's editor. Info on the blogging side can be found here.

I like these fancy numbered tabs

Try it and love it. Thanks a bunch to Chris Gaunt.

You Tube resizer

After reading "Five More Useful Greasemonkey Scripts for YouTube" I installed the you tube resizer into greasemonkey and haven't looked back. It goes nicely with the dark grey redesign in stylish. If you have stylish and not greasemonkey you can use this. I prefer the greasemonkey version because it auto scrolls you down the resized video.

Mosio

Everybody knows what a big fan I am of Google SMS. Thanks to a Lifehacker post I've now registered with Mosio. According to them:

Mosio is a mobile community enabling you to text any question from your phone and have it answered by real people (other Mosio members). It's totally free and you can ask Mosio anything.

The Lifehacker post put it this way:

The success of the site is built on two assumptions: 1) That users want to answer your questions and will do so shortly after you ask it, and 2) that you don't have a data plan and would rather send a quick text and let someone else find the best answer for your question.

Pretty fun stuff. Registration is on your cell and email, but only takes about a minute all told.

google maps double score

That's right. A few days ago I learned that the Street View feature had been added for Portland, now I found that there's a stylish script for full screen maps.

Flying back to LA

Coffee People is alive and well in the portland airport. And my laptop has just learned that wifi is doing ok too.

songbird

I've tried a few players on my new laptop and think I'm going to stick with songbird. Here's a little demo:


Also big with me lately is the stylish add-on for firefox. I like the looks for google searches, images, and video. Reader looks very mac. Oh yeah, wikipedia grey lady looks pretty cool too, not entirely sold on the youtube one... maybe a little too dark...
The site styles are at userstyles.
