I’m Gonna Write Robert Scoble A Song - 26 May 2008
Robert Scoble is the kid up the street with all the answers. You know, the kid with ALL the Commodore 64 games, a gigantic Lego model railroad in the basement and whose father apparently owns a flying Citroen CX? I’m pretty sure that’s him.
Well, this kid is all grown-up now, and he’s on the […]
Bookmark Tip: Alltop Music Page - 05 Apr 2008
Create Digital Music pointed me to Alltop, a headline aggregator with a really nice music page.

Particls.com: A Better Way To Read the News - 02 Aug 2007

My RSS Feed Is Acting Weird - 03 Jul 2007
System update: My RSS feed has been a little unpredictable since I redirected my blog - some of my old posts suddenly pop up in front of the more recent ones. And I’m hardly getting any hits on the site today, so I’m still experimenting with the settings here to get it right.

Hooray! I no longer need the Internet Explorer to watch WMV (Windows Media Video)-files!
As my three regular readers will know, I’m a passionate Firefox user. But I’ve never been able to locate a plug-in to play Microsoft’s WMV-files in Firefox.
Now the solution is finally here, and it’s provided by Microsoft itself. So hurry, go to […]
Jeff Bonforte trashes Google products’ usability - 14 Mar 2007
“I reduced the functionality [on Yahoo Messenger for Mac] by 30 per cent and increased usage by 35 per cent. As we take out features, it tends to do better with the mainstream users”
