the MLA entry on citing web stuff [via Vertical Hold] Definitely nice to know I can now cite websites.

Related Entries from within my own MT database is something else I’m interested in adding to my weblog soon.

This is something to add to my weblog this weekend. Later: Just found Google Hilite from Textism… cool stuff.

I just read this post from l.m.orchard and this post from Scott, and I’m wondering if any of my friends at Apple can answer the question about what Safari bookmarks are doing in iSync. It seems that this has been discussed on the MacOS X Talk list run by the OmniGroup, but no one seems [...]

In Adam Kalsey’s latest post, The Agenda of Professional Blogs, I’m reminded of why I started weblogging, and realize that I’ve gotten away from it. Why do you blog?

I wrote about my problems trying to sign up with the WSJ online using Safari a few days ago… Just wanted to post a quick follow up. I’d emailed them saying that Safari wasn’t working with their subscription process, and I gave them my phone number, asking them to call me so I can subscribe. [...]

This weekend was packed with out of town visitors… and yard work… lots of yard work. “Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.” – Henry Kissinger Scoble: “The Web is killing publishing.” I’d argue that the web is killing ‘traditional’ publishing, just as TV ‘killed’ radio at one point in [...]

“If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.” — Dale Carnegie

I tried to give the WSJ $80 tonight, and their subscription forms wouldn’t work with Safari… I might try to subscribe to the online version again in the future, but not anytime soon. I sent them an email to call me so I can give them my credit card and requested login/password over the phone… [...]

“Take the most difficult challenge you are now facing and turn it into the greatest opportunity to grow simply by changing how you see it. Dead ends then become turning points.” — Bob Perks

Dixie Chicks bare bodies and souls Hubba, hubba…

Still busier than shit: Google and Advertising PHPNuke is so easy to upgrade when neccessary… just thought I’d point that out. A plea for Full RSS Feeds (which I’ve made before). Elegant Hack – cool site Matrix sequel marks Imax first from the BBC Textbox is coming folks… hold on to your seats. Accomodating – [...]

Look no further than quiXoap. They just got a round of funding… pretty decently sized too, at 6.5 million dollars (from Austin Ventures).

Once again, I’ve been busy working, so here’s a collection of links and quick comments: Scoble comments on Meckler’s non-weblog weblog — heh, name slinging is always a fun sport to watch. Love the new look of the Apple Store. Clutter for iTunes… nice idea [via MoreLikeThis] OS X Command Line Fun from John Gruber [...]

This is just a quick update for all of my readers. We’re soliciting feedback from our readers over on MarketingFix. If you’ve missed the post, please go leave a bit of feedback for us… it’ll only help us make it better. Oh, and we just added a new category: Jobs. It’s a little slim still, [...]

News.com’s got a great ‘history of the browser‘ in celebration of Mosaic’s 10 year anniversary (which is today btw).

Can’t wait to see this when it comes to town: Can’t wait!

Quick note: Collectrix looks like a great cost sensitive hosting company… must check them out later

Brent Simmons offers a tip on how to open links from an application outside of Safari in the same window that you have open in Safari, but in a new tab. Great tip Brent.

Scott helped me out a bit a week ago or so, and I forgot to say thanks. He was in the middle of being pretty sick, and he still came to my rescue. Thanks Scott. Now, if you ever find yourself in the same stupid position that I was in (hard drive’s full on a [...]

John Gruber’s written a great little piece on the current browser wars taking place on the Mac platform.

You gotta love this new Miller Lite commercial [in Windows Media format] (from Adage: Pamela Anderson Does Miller Lite)

How To Secure Widespread Adoption of Pretty Much Anything is a great read for anyone in product development or sales management. Reminds me of my major in college.

Everyone else blogged the release of the new Safari beta, but no one really mentioned the fact that Safari still has a tendency to time out for really odd reasons and at really odd times… …except for Slava over at Unsanity. He did better than just blog that Safari times out, yesterday, he released a [...]

Norah Jones is amazing. I just picked up her CD “Come Away with Me” and I love it. Especially, this track: Feelin’ the Same Way If you like that track, you’ll love the rest of the album… most of the other songs are a little more mellow, but her voice is amazing. Pick up Come [...]

I don’t make a whole lotta money, thus, I’ve only been stupid enough to walk into a Tiffany’s retail location once. I was thouroughly embarrased to be in the store after I asked how much a necklace was. I just don’t make that much money, however, they do have the most beautiful stuff. I saw [...]

The Penn State Smeal College of Business’s online library is a fantastic resource for business research papers. For example, I just skimmed this report “Turning Adversity into Advantage: Does Proactive Marketing During a Recession Pay Off?” [pdf] and am about to skim “Internet Integration in Business Marketing Tactics” [pdf]. Great use of the internet to [...]

I had to read over the Privacy Promise from the DMA today. It’s a good starting point for publishers and marketers alike when deciding how to run your direct email programs.

Remember playing MASH when you were a kid? Play it again, online. I love these little online games: You will live in Apartment. You will drive a Yellow Passat. You will marry Tara and have 5 kids. You will be a Newscaster in Paris, France. [ps. it doesn't work with Mozilla on Mac OS X [...]

Still busier than shit at work… got home tonight and cooked dinner while cleaning the pool and drinking a few beers. Here are a few links from the week: Keith has gathered a bunch of links on URL/URI design and implementation. The Fine Art of Sucking Up Rewiring Afghanistan – Is this really needed? Cute [...]

Read this today over at Searls’s weblog, which references this article over at Forbes.com, which contains this paragraph: “Closely held Google gives out no numbers, but paid search is likely its main source of revenue. Danny Sullivan, who edits SearchEngineWatch.com, estimates that Google, with about 100,000 advertisers, is a “several-hundred-million-dollar” business. He may be guessing [...]

A great little diatribe on Titanium.

I’ve been working 13+ hour days for what feels like an eternity lately, and thus, this is just a dump of links that I either wanted to write about, or at the least bookmarked for some reason: Here’s a quick article that everyone that owns a home (or will in the future) should read about [...]

“Vices are their own punishment.”    – Aesop (Seen on forbes.com’s Thought of the Day)

I haven’t run this one by Jeremy, but I’m assuming this is a legitimate example of Yahoo’s new search engine look and feel. Pretty snazzy if you ask me.

CEO’s get richer… …that’s just fucked up.

A Friend recommended this movie to me as the ‘ultimate sales movie’: Glengarry Glen Ross Anyone ever seen it? Got any feedback on it? Also see the unofficial Glengary Glenn Ross site
