Out of all the awe­some, free appli­ca­tions (and the crappy ones too) I’ve been try­ing out in the new Apps Store with my iPod Touch, the best by far is the Wor­s­press app. I’m using it now to write this post.

It sup­ports tags, cat­e­gories, edit­ing pre­vi­ous posts, post sta­tus, images, AND mul­ti­ple blogs. I was floored when I read all that, and am more floored now that I’m using it.

Wow is all I can say!

Odds; Ends

From The “That’s So Dis­gust­ing” Depart­ment
Found a rather hilar­i­ous writeup about my Fin­ger­nail and Toe­nail Col­lec­tion today over at I Am Such a Child. The pics aren’t work­ing on that page, but you should be able to fol­low along.

I was con­tacted by MyHeavy.com about doing a video of myself per­form­ing my toe­nail lick­ing rit­ual and sub­mit­ting it to their site. June had orig­i­nally men­tioned that idea a cou­ple of months ago, and I’ve just been wait­ing until the moment feels right. Stay tuned.

From The Online Web Tools Depart­ment
Check out this huge list of online gen­er­a­tors for gen­er­at­ing things such as 3-column CSS lay­out and acces­si­ble forms.

From The Toot­ing My Own Horn Depart­ment
Some­one has erected a Myspace page for Crain. Nice job of col­lect­ing stuff.

From The Cru­cial Apps Depart­ment
If you use mul­ti­ple mon­i­tors on your PC, then you must get Multi Mon­i­tor Taskbar, a free­bie tool that puts a taskbar at the bot­tom of your sec­ond mon­i­tor, sav­ing you mouse mileage and win­dow con­fu­sion. It also has a nifty clip­board mem­ory tool built in.

 

Firefox 2.0

You prob­a­bly know Inter­net Explorer 7 came out last week. Woohoo. Hoorah.

But did you know Fire­fox 2.0 comes out tomor­row??? Yeeehawww!!!

As a spe­cial treat for you dear read­ers of this blog, here is a secret link to grab Fire­fox 2.0. It’s sit­ting there wait­ing to be announced, but you can get it now!

Enjoy.

 

The Simpsons, TV, etc

If you are a fan of The Simp­sons, you might want to read this. You can now watch every episode of The Simp­sons online for free. I don’t know how they are get­ting away with that, and it might not last very long, but it’s there and work­ing, commercial-free. I never knew how Santa’s Lit­tle Helper got his name until last night.

On the TV tip, as the new sea­sons begin to rev up, I am eagerly await­ing Bat­tlestar Galac­tica. In the mean time, I am watch­ing the DVD set of Fire­fly that I acquired from Tar­get for 18 clams. I am dig­ging it, though it sad­dens me know­ing that only one sea­son ever existed…

What are you look­ing for­ward to this fall on TV?

 

Fun With Google

Google never ceases to amaze me. I am now a GCal addict, hav­ing orga­nized my life for the next 55 years, WITH text mes­sages being sent to my phone to remind me of upcom­ing events. I have been smit­ten with Google Adsense, I am a big fan of GMail, and I can­not get enough of Google Earth.

So maybe Google really is try­ing to take over the uni­verse, but dog­gone it, I am OK with that as long as they keep the steady sup­ply of geek toys flow­ing. And if they offer me a job some day.

While rev­el­ling in my lit­tle Google stu­por, I dis­cov­ered a cool, free PDF called 55 Ways to Have Fun With Google, which to my amaze­ment, intro­duced me to 55 entirely new rea­sons why Google rules. If you care any­thing about the next hour of your life, you will read this PDF.

The book is offered by 55fun.com and can be pur­chased in print from their site.

And for those of you who still can’t find some­thing on Google, come tell me about it.

 

Need some free soft­ware to get some­thing done? Check out I want a free­ware util­ity to… where the list of over 400 appli­ca­tions keeps grow­ing. Many of these I use often.

Now you can dou­ble your plea­sure with “I want a Fire­fox exten­sion to…”. A great way to learn why the world’s best web browser keeps get­ting better.

With many of the appli­ca­tions and exten­sions on those two sites you can then carry your life on a thumb drive or ipod, which is always cool.
