Doing More With Less Since 1972
We don’t need you any longer. Changing your interface or brand aren’t compelling reasons for us to use your services. They don’t solve a problem, so there’s no need to switch.
People may return to Flickr from Instagram, but that’s because of what Instagram (Facebook) does more than it is because of what Flickr does.
When Google Search screws up, maybe I’ll return to Yahoo.
When Gmail isn’t doing it for me, maybe I’ll return to Hotmail/Outlook.
Until then, what do I get for changing?
China Up, America Down – If them folks cain't swim, they bound to drizown. Hard to argue with these points, until China starts trying to bully other countries. In 5, 4, 3…
RunKeeper Pro– Free Through January – Normally $10 for the pro version, get it free!
Delicious In Purgatory – I would be SO gone already (I already have a contingency plan in place) if all of my Delicious bookmarks weren't being used to generate permanent blog posts for me. And my notes in Delicious (like this one) work better as comments in a blog than they do in Twitter, or my problem would be solved already.
And just like that, the plugin I use to generate posts from Delicious adds support for Pinboard. Outta here Delicious!
8 Tools For Easily Creating a Mobile Version of Your Website – Yet another reason I'm such a huge WordPress fan. With WordPress, you can do it with just a plugin. I've been doing it at www.scottadcox.com for a while now.
DSO Nano V2.0 – Pocket Sized Digital Storage Oscilloscope – Back in my day, we had to record the cable signal on a vcr tape and bring it to the oscilloscope in the electronics lab to figure out how to steal cable.
Time Investment Tips for the Offseason – Didn't see anything here about eating lots of bagels and watching documentaries. Going to have to re-evaluate my training plan.
Inflation Calculator | Find US Dollar’s Value from 1913-2010 – 90s to now isn't bad. Afraid to look at the 70 and 80s for fear of what is coming.
Del.icio.us ranks 255th in traffic on the web right now according to Alexa, and they are just going to ax it? Not even shopping it around to potential buyers? I don’t have the numbers, but I’d guess Del.icio.us is the leader in the social bookmarking market.
Sure, Yahoo! hasn’t done as much with it as it should have. They’ve pretty much done nothing with it. So why not at least continue that and just give it away.
Killing this service is a real shame.
Disney Princesses, Deconstructed – All you can really do to fight it is to push a fascination with ocean dwelling killing machines instead of Princesses. But it’s an uphill battle.
Muscles Remember Past Glory – I strongly suspect fat bellies have the same memory ability.
Thanks No For Skipping Your Immunizations! Whooping CoughIs Back – I wouldn’t let Jenny McCarthy give me dating advice when I was 19. Why would I listen to her parenting tips?
What Happened to Yahoo – Bottom line–nothing was happening at Yahoo, so things started happening to Yahoo. And why is that when I change my Yahoo! password, my Del.icio.us password doesn’t change. Exhibit A.
Ragnar Central Florida – Always wanted to do one of these…I may have found a team!
Endless Bummer – Don’t worry, it’s safe for work.
Unsuck It – Pretty useful, especially if you are low on bandwidth and need to bucketize terms.
The Third Stage of Personal Finance – Good motivator to start your day.
Facebook bug spills name and pic for all 500 million users – Uh….awsum?
Complete Guide to Maximizing Your Android Phone’s Battery Life – When following these instructions, make sure you’re holding the phone correctly.
14 Famous Man Caves – And not one has a spin bike or a punching bag. Where does all the anger go?
7 Discipline-builders for Remote Workers – I found this article very distracting. 🙂
Girl quits job on dry erase board – I like TechCrunch too, but if you spend an hour a day there, you must be reading at a remedial level. It’s not Faulkner.
Michael P. Fleischer: Why I’m Not Hiring – Interesting…and I thought it was just because he was a racist.
The Great Reset of Urban Development in Economic Downturns – Metropolitan corridors. I don’t like the sound of that.
Internet gambling freedom boosted by House committee vote – It’s comin’….
Rdio – Even more music.
Zone 12 Project gang: Little Blue Egg – I will put this right next to the outdoor shower. Or maybe inside the outdoor shower.
Build Your Own Outdoor Shower – Coming soon to a side of the house near me. I hope.
