Hack Attack: Take Launchy beyond application launching
via Lifehacker by Adam Pash on July 30, 2007
Most people know Launchy as a simple and lightning-fast application launcher for Windows, but it's actually capable of much more than that. Using Launchy, you can append text to files, schedule appointments, add to your to-do list, set reminders, and more—it just takes a little setting up.

Story 140
via Manton Reece by (author unknown) on November 02, 2007
November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), but I'm way too busy to participate this year. (See my wrap-up post from 2005 for the last time I did it.) I would love to write something, though. Maybe I should consider Ficlets or a similar site, but I've had Twitter on the brain lately. Why not take the embracing constraints approach and write a story through Twitter?Introducing...

via Teaching, Playing, and Programming by Chris Okasaki on January 17, 2008

I'll introduce other passions in the coming weeks. Welcome to my blog!Ok, I’m a freak. I admit it. I don’t use PowerPoint for teaching. Well, hardly ever. Once or twice a semester.

Are You Ready for the Bloggies?
via WORD - the official blog of READ and Writing Magazines by (author unknown) on January 23, 2008
It's a real thing. No, seriously, the Bloggies is a real thing. Apparently this thing has been going on for eight years. Who knew? The Bloggies is the Oscar of blogs. Well, not as prestigious as the Oscars. After all, the winner only gets a certificate, which, at least in my opinion, is not as cool as a gold statue and a basket of swag. But, at least winners don't have to...

Natali Del Conte debuts "Loaded" on CNET [Exclusive]
via Valleywag by Owen Thomas on February 03, 2008
The last time I got loaded with Natali Del Conte, it was at Moose's in San Francisco, and alcohol was involved. So I had to ask: For her new online-video show for CNET, Loaded, will the videoblogger drink on camera, as Kevin Rose does on Diggnation? "I'm not ruling it out," says Del Conte. Good! Because her debut episode, while slickly produced, had way too many screenshots. I watch Web...

Natali Gets Loaded Today
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on February 03, 2008
Former TechCrunch Writer Natali Del Conte’s new CNET TV show, Loaded, launched today. And true to CNET’s general policies, the show is not embeddable on other websites (you can see it here). Also standard CNET policy - they sort of borrowed a headline without attribution (Natali says “Google and Microsoft exectuives were not watching the Superbowl on Sunday” - I wonder where she got that...
