I am just starting to get into Twitter. I’m still not 100% certain that I can get any use out of Twitter, but it is fun to play with. Theoretically, anyone who knows me can get updates from me if they Follow me. In reality, I don’t update Twitter very often, so no one can [...]

I keep forgetting to post about Acme labs, one of the coolest places on the ‘net. Like the infamous Acme corp from the Road Runner cartoons, Jef has a ton of really fun, useful and unique tools. The only difference is that the tools are all delivered via the web, instead of having to be [...]

There’s a post on www.jessirae.com detailing a supposedly easy way to use two Del.icio.us accounts without having to log in and out of Del.icio.us. The solution given was to install two different Firefox extensions, Del.icio.us Buttons and Del.icio.us Complete.
