Did last night's Red Sox mention on LOST mean anything?
via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on May 01, 2008
Minor spoiler alert: If you haven't watched last night's LOST yet, don't watch this spiffy new RedLasso clip. Don't follow the jump, either, to read about the possible significance of yet anotherRed Sox reference on the show.

Kotatsu, a free AJAX utility, generates clean code for however many rows and columns you need, with optional class options thrown on the cells.

Google Adds Mac-Specific Search [Google]
via Lifehacker by Adam Pash on May 01, 2008
If you run into a problem on a Windows computer, all you have to do is type a little description of the problem and Google takes care of the rest; Mac users, on the other hand, often need to include a little context in their search—instead of typing a query like text editor, you type text editor mac.

If Major League Baseball was stranded on LOST ...

Following that tradition, Dennis Velasco of At The Dish checks in with a similar look at his favorite show ... If you're like me, you love the ABC hit show, "Lost.” Hopefully for you, all comparisons to me end there. In any case, I was writing an essay...

... code” everything, rather than to use a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) HTML and CSS authoring program, like Dreamweaver. We just find it yields better and faster results.But really the browser-to-browser consistency that you see (and I have to admit, it’s far from perfect) is the result of a vigilant collaboration between many different groups — the visual designers and tec...

FLVto Converts YouTube Videos to MP3s, No Upload Required [YouTube]
via Lifehacker by Kevin Purdy on April 29, 2008
FLVto is a web app with three buttons, one input box, and one simple-but-great function of converting YouTube and other Flash-based videos to MP3 audio files.
