I’m on Google IM

  • 23 Aug, 2005

Yep, the details are out there. I just logged into my Gmail/Google IM account. I used Jabber though iChat and it worked just fine! I tried in Adium but had no luck for some reason. I’m sure I had a typo somewhere. For instructions on how to get into your Google IM account just go […]

Google & MSN Flash Earth

  • 23 Aug, 2005

I can see my parents house from here! 😮 With each search engine trying to out do each other they are creating great products. But leave it to the users to make them even better. For example, Flash Earth. Flash Earth takes information from Google & MSN satellite maps and allows the user to smoothly […]

Where is Carmen Sandiego

  • 22 Aug, 2005

That illusive lady from when I was a kit is still on the loose. Carmen Sandiego is still running ramped somewhere. A better question than where is the world (or US, time, universe) is Carmen Sandiego is what did Carmen Sandiego do? Why am I chasing her? Who tricked me into spending so much time […]

My iPod has new features!

  • 16 Aug, 2005

Not sure when they showed up, but my iPod has some new features. On my way to San Jose I realized that under the Settings menu there is a Main Menu area where I can turn on or off what options show on the main menu and what options don’t. This is fun because my […]

Flickr & Yahoo Merge

  • 15 Aug, 2005

I just merged my Yahoo account and Flickr account. What’s that mean? Now my Yahoo ID is my login and password for Flickr and that’s about all. Or so I’ve seen so far.

Photo Galleries

  • 14 Aug, 2005

I’ve added a plug-in so that I can upload some of my images from Search Engine Strategies and other events. This is just a test so that I can learn how it works. If it’s successful, I’ll get more images up later in the week.

GoogleDance 2005

  • 10 Aug, 2005

It was my first GoogleDance and it sure was a lot of fun. Google gave us free pop, water, beer and wine to drink. There was everything from hot dogs to shrimp, soft pretzels, beer nuts and some cheesy potatoes to eat. For desert you could grab a root beer float, cookies, bars or Cold […]

Multiple Virtual Desktops

  • 29 Jul, 2005

Inspired by a post over at The Unofficial Apple Weblog I decided to check out a virtual desktop application called Desktop Manager. And I’m glad I did. Now it’s a little hard to explain, as I found out when trying to tell a friend, but I’ll try. You basically get to take your desktop and […]

Konfabulator is Free!

  • 25 Jul, 2005

Before Apple’s Dashboard was a little program called Konfabulator. Konfabulator works on your desktop and can do anything Dashboard can do. The only problem as that Konfabulator wasn’t free. Now it is. Yahoo has bought Konfabulator and will be distributing it on Mac and PC for free! Not sure Yahoo’s goal here, however it’s Yahoo […]
