Here’s just a total brain dump of various “do it easier/faster” tips that I’ve collected recently:
Check movie listings on Google by typing: movies: your-movie-name. If Google already knows where you are, the first clickable result will be all your local listings. If Google doesn’t know where you are, you’ll get a place to input your […]
Twitter is a deceptively simple utility. That said, Twitter isn’t for everyone. In fact it’s probably not even for half of everyone. But for those that have the patience to find their personal sweet spot, Twitter can be quite good indeed. If you’re not familar with Twitter, it’s pretty easy to describe. It’s instant messaging […]
This is a totally bifurcated post. Part one describes a few recent distractions. Part two is a call for help.
Part one:
I’ve been messing with new toys. Twitter, for one (this is me). You can post from IM, or TXT or via the web. Also, I’m kind of eyeballing Jaiku but haven’t set up an account. […]
If you missed out on getting one of my MindMeister invitations the other day, here’s a second chance. Over at Behind The Glasses, Grigor is giving away 20 more MindMeister invites AND he’s offering interested bloggers a chance to participate in a shared mindmap about the future of blogging. Go forth and mindmap!

Here’s a really great video (just about an hour long, so get comfortable) of Guy Kawasaki moderating a panel of unusual entrepreneurs. Panelists include the founders of Suicide Girls, HotOrNot and Fark. It’s a fantastic way to spend an hour–hilarious and informative!

This morning I read on Mashable that there’s a new mindmap web app in private beta called MindMeister. I was lucky enough to get an invite and I’ve been messing around with it.
So far I really, really like it. The controls for creating new nodes are very intuitive (tab to create a new child, enter […]
My buddy Jason is unleashing his latest web creation upon the world: TechJive. It’s a little bit lifehacker-ish, but with a decidedly technological focus. Jason rocks Mac and PC, so he knows his shizz. The site is new and still growing content–definitely one to watch if you have a technical bent.

I don’t know anything about football–I didn’t even know that the Super Bowl was last weekend until someone told me last Friday. But I always like checking out the commercials. Which is kinda weird since I don’t really watch TV much. But whatever. Here’s an embedded player that has 30 of last weekend’s commercials in […]
I’ve spent the better part of the last couple of hours browsing LinkedIn Answers and asking myself, “How could I have overlooked this?!” It is simply awesome. The deal is that you submit a question to your network, wait for the answers to roll in, then “close” the thread by awarding a respondent a green […]
I’m still suffering in Las Vegas without much time to blog, but I figured I’d throw up a couple of notes here. First, I recently mentioned Laurence Haughton’s seminar that he did and I said I’d provide the link to the archive when it was finished. Here’s the link. You gotta jump through a couple […]
I’m enroute to Vegas today and will be there all week. Probably not much time for blogging. I thought I’d put this cool new SplashCast player here and just dump more media into it throughout the week. SplashCast is at DEMO today, showing this thing off. I was lucky enough to get an early account.
Keep […]
Well, these aren’t really tricks. Just a few things I learned recently that have to do with PayPal (I’m a fanboy).
First, iTunes has an option that lets you pay with PayPal. I know that’s probably not earthshaking news, but I’ve almost always got a few bucks in PayPal and it makes me feel better to […]
Just saw that Oklahoma Wesleyan University is putting one year’s worth of tuition on eBay. Since I work in Higher Ed, I’m really curious what people think about this.
Personally, I’m not too fond of it and here’s why:
It potentially locks out anyone who can’t write a check for $20,000.
It’s easy to see how to […]
Business blogs are pretty awesome. The people who write them are always on the lookout for new books and ideas. I’m the same way (yeah, I’m pretty awesome, too). When I read business blogs, I usually read most, if not all, of the comments on a post that interests me.
So I’ve been noticing that […]
Just to keep the creative juices flowing, I’m firing up another little web project. Nothing earth shaking, but I think it’ll be fun. It’s Yamhill.TV. This is an “internet TV channel” for Yamhill County, Oregon (where I live). I’ll interview interesting local people, check out some events in the area, etc. I just released the […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
