Testing Performancing
Update: the automatic Technorati tags didn’t work. I’ll have to look into that some more…
I am testing out Performancing, which just released a blog editor / firefox extension (found through Steven Cohen over at Library Stuff). It’s pretty cool! Take a look at it in the first image - that’s me starting this blog post.
As [...]

Make your PC more “Mac-ish”
I just saw this post today, and found a cool toy to play with. The post provides links to lots of tools and utilities for Windows users that make your Windows PC a bit more like a Mac.

Adobe and Macromedia are merging!
Just read about this on Mike Chambers blog (he’d a product manager at Macromedia).

That little thought bubble thing with the address is pointing at me! Instead of getting [...]
Duke University and Podcasting
