Bookmarklet to Enhance Your Flickr Experience

By Giania • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Traipsing about my collection of RSS links, as I am oft wont to do, I discovered one labeled Blackr. Despite the obvious Web 2.0 name, it struck me as curious and I proceeded. Blackr is described as a way to view Flickr content without all the noise of navigation, comments, and various whatnots. There [...]



Thinly Veiled Agenda: Timeline of Bill of Rights During Bush Admin

By Giania • Dec 5th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Politics

Hot: In what can best be described as a very long pitch to get people to join a group called Question Authority on MondoGlobo, Phil Leggiere provides this timeline of the Bill of Rights during the Bush Administration. It does cite sources all along the way, such as the NY Times, Slate, and US Today, [...]



Marketing Tool Site Spotted: Cumul.us

By Giania • Nov 9th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Cumul.us is a cute little site that shows you the weather for your area, lets you and people in your area make predictions on what the weather is going to be like in the near future and declare how you intend to equip yourself (clothing-wise) for said weather.

By Giania • Sep 4th, 2007 • Category: Browsers

Hot: A Mashable article from a couple days ago highlighted 30 nifty Firefox skins. I tend to stick to Opera, but I’m always on the lookout for interesting Firefox tools and skins since I know so many folks who are really into customizing their Firefox install.

Friday Fun: Super Cool New Image Editing Flash Tool

By Giania • Aug 31st, 2007 • Category: Art, Internet Toys

Hot: By now you may have seen the “seam carving” image editing video, demonstrating a new, kickass way of resizing images to retain the key elements and pick out threads that are “less relevant” to retain the overall feel of the original image. Thanks to the glory of my del.icio.us feed, I’ve found a flash [...]

By Giania • Aug 28th, 2007 • Category: Guides, Internet Toys, Potent Potables

Hot: Moving up in the del.icio.us ranks is a little site called Cork’d. The concept? “Review, Cellar, and Share Wine”. Internet savvy dipsomaniacs rejoice! Now you have a place to chat about your maddening obsession with fermented grape juice of various ages, with all the charms that only a Web 2.0 named site could provide. [...]
