Sundries from January 2006

Buy Danish!

Whoo-hoo!

Denmark makes me so proud.

Let's hear it for the Danes, and their efforts to protect free speech!

Holy crap, we're going big-time. It's at the Science Museum of Minnesota this year!

The Roundabout SEO Test

Wow Mike, have you been busy.

  • #

Free Online Graph Paper

Heh. Something I never knew I needed, until I learned it existed.

  • #

Google's Censorship Response

“We have agreed to remove certain sensitive information from our search results.”

What? All that pesky sensitive information, like history and facts?

Oh Google, you are well on your way to being evil.

  • #

ColorBurn Widget

A different color palette every day.

  • #

Chuck Norris Speaks!

He seems pretty good-natured and well-humored about the whole thing.

Yay for Chuck!

Hollow Hills

A lot of this stuff is around the Twin Cities. It looks like Action Squad is still up to their old tricks.

  • #

Top Jobs 2006

Would most of the jobs on this list make you want to slit your wrists, too?

I love how one of the jobs mentioned is a "market research analyst dentist." That's either a typo or a brutal exercise in multitasking.

Jed's Other Poem

A beautiful music video, programmed in AppleSoft II on a 1979 Apple II+.

The word "ass" is used.

Meanwhile, Jason drops the f-bomb in a web 2.0 interview.

I love the surliness apparent in our industry.

TurboDbAdmin

Online database administration with AJAX style.

It's in beta and only allows you to add/update rows at this point, but TurboDbAdmin shows real promise.

phpMyAdmin has always bothered me because it's sluggish, overbuilt and ugly.

  • #

Google Earth for Mac

I am so exciteding.

  • #

MacBook claims its first victim

For such a beautiful laptop, Apple sure gave it an ugly name. Might as well call it an AeroGlassBook or something.

Her writing has been spectacular lately, but her life has been far too eventful. Go wish her well.

Greg knows what to expect from MacWorld. Standing under power lines and reanimating the dead are mentioned.

Mark Steyn has a lot to say.

  • #

Mmm. Sacrilicious.

  • #

Reintroducing Windows Vista

Heh.

  • #

Kodak unveils a new logo

And it looks like its upside down.

After seeing what AT&T did to their logo, I swear these companies are redesigning with craptacular logos just so they get more attention.

  • #

IE rivals stride ahead

Bleed the beast!

  • #

Ten Bills

What a freakin' cool idea.

Go on. Ask me again why I love Dreamhost.

  • #

Moleskine

These guys sell the best damn journals you'll ever find. I've been writing in their plain pocket books for over a year now. Perfect size for trail notes, too.

  • #

Amazon Album Art Widget

I've been aching for something like this for so long.

  • #

The Areas of my Expertise

This is the funniest book I have read in a long time. I especially enjoy all the facts about hobos.

It's an armadillo!

Catch it and eat it! Catch it and eat it! CATCH IT AND EAT IT!

  • #

Scriptaculous

All AJAX, all the time.

Prototype JS Framework

Billed as the nicest AJAX library around. Could use some documentation.

An oldie, but it rings true to this day.
