Here’s looking up your old address.

WhatIsMyIP.com is too good and too simple a thing not to share. And as far as really usable ideas go, TinyURL.com is running a very close second. Marvelous. Bloody marvelous.

Food tastes better when it’s not up your nose.

Reports confirm that mom ate a sandwich today. And a bowl of soup. All by herself. It was a one-handed effort mind you, but definitely self-propelled. And it was real, honest to goodness sandwich and soup, not that brownish, liquified sandwich and soup substitute that’s been flowing her through small-bore nasal feeding tube since the … More

Balancing act.

You write about what’s within your current frame of reference. You relate observations regarding daily experiences, sensations, thoughts and peeves. Sometimes those observations get trapped rumbling down a single lane. It can be an interesting lane, a comfortable lane, but nonetheless an unwavering lane with no foreseeable exit ramps.

More Newtons obviously means more weblogs.

I’m getting a sense that folks who become first time Newton owners take to their new PDAs like fish take to water. Or should that be like a stylus to screen?

Earlier this month, it came to my attention that email notices being sent from the Newted Community Forums were arriving with goofed-up date headers. I had never noticed the problem myself, probably because my primary email client determined the message sent date using a different header field. At any rate, these notices were showing up … More

I’m not sure where I was when this clever little time-waster was launched last year, or how I missed the meme first time around. But gosh golly kids, am I ever enjoying Google Mirror right now. Yes, I suppose I should get back to work, shouldn’t I?

Now that’s craptastic!

Between cleaning up cat vomit and mixing up large batches of papier-mâché for his own private use, Howie managed to get his site nominated in this years Bloggies. He’s as befuggled by the peer recognition as any of us, but ain’t complaining. If you’d like to see him win some cruddy little statuette, or whatever … More

Some of my best friends are stock photographs.

Familiar faces keep staring back at me from my browser. Why look, isn’t that Sheldon pushing gooey hair care products? What about Mr Sixto propping up that equipment rack over on the Quantum support site? And then of course, there’s Marla, Marla, Marla. Wired seems to think they’ve latched onto something akin to an Ellen … More
