Can you spare a nickel? I’m trying to raise enough money to buy a MacBook entirely in nickels. To help, click here. Thanks!

Back

I’m back from my little internet break. I was talking to a friend just the other day who had no idea I was even gone because he reads the site in his feed reader. I had briefly considered putting up an actual post back in September for that very reason but never got around to [...]

My setup: YubNub

I’ve blogged before (here and there) about keyword searches in Firefox. Keyword searches are great because they allow you to perform searches right from your address bar. Simply type your keyword (e.g. I use g for Google, a for Answers.com, wp for Wikipedia, &c.) followed by search terms and you’ll be magically whisked off to [...]

The machine is us

Skype

I’ve installed Skype so my brother-in-law and I can voice-chat for free while he’s away this summer (he’s doing an internship with a big accounting firm in a different state). It’s a pretty slick little program, and the connection is clear as a bell (much better than MSN voice-chat).
I hate seeing an empty contact list, [...]

A New Domain

A while ago I was “talking”:http://www.joeyday.com/2005/02/09/too-many-websites about a new domain name I was excited about acquiring. Little did I know the process would take as long as it did. Apparently, expired domains don’t become publicly available until 75 days after the stated expiration date.
Fortunately, the domain did quietly expire, and, after so much waiting, I’m [...]

43 Things

I think I’m officially addicted to memes.
I just found this great site called 43 Things. It’s another of those social sites like del.icio.us and Flickr. At 43 Things you list your long- and short-term goals and then track your own progress. You can also find other people who are working toward the same goals and [...]

Google Maps — Now With Satellite

Holy cow! It’s late and I should go to bed, but the “Google Blog just announced”:http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/04/birds-eye-view.html that “Google Maps”:http://maps.google.com now has the ability to display satellite images in the same slick interface as it already delivers maps. Now you can have driving directions superimposed over actual images of the streets in your hometown.
In my [...]

Delicious Crazy

If you’re subscribed to my del.icio.us bookmarks feed, I apologize for cluttering up your feedreader this morning. I think I added over 30 bookmarks to my del.icio.us list. Whew!
I just did some spring cleaning in my own feedreader — deleted a bunch of stuff, reorganized my folder hierarchy, etc. — and decided to finally compile [...]

Flickr

Well, I’ve gone and joined the internet craze that is Flickr. Feel free to snoop through “my photos”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeyday/. So far I’ve uploaded the same ones that are available at “janeneday.com”:http://www.janeneday.com, but in time I’ll be uploading actual wedding pictures. I’ve had at least one request and I intend not to dissappoint.

I’ve also installed a WordPress [...]

An Obligatory Ping

Winslow over at Winslow’s Lair is trying to “test his trackback feature”:http://winslowslair.mind-intentions.info/blog/archives/2005/02/10/testing-pingbacks/. In the interest of science, I’m sending one your way, my friend. Godspeed, little ping.
