Confused by Mesh? It?s Simple: Microsoft Just Changed the Game
2008-04-23 08:43:00 There’s a lot of Live Mesh talk going on tonight, and I think I’ve just read just about every blog post about it so far.

2008-04-18 21:14:00 Despite Louis’s attempt to start this weekend’s bitchmeme on the topic of blogs and advertising - damn, Louis, you’re getting good at this! - I’m going to refrain from that discussion (as long as I can resist, that is) and write about something else instead. …And we thought Techmeme was the echo-chamber!….OK, just kidding, ...

FriendFeed Discussion Group
2008-04-18 15:49:00 Something I never really paid much attention to in my emails from Friend Feed was the link to the FriendFeed discussion group, but today I clicked on it by accident.

Compfight - I Wish I Could Like You
2008-04-16 01:30:00 When I first went to the web site at compfight I wasn’t impressed. I don’t what the deal is, but in Firefox, it looked like I had actually accessed the mobilized version instead of the real web site. The text is so small, it’s practically unreadable! But then I saw Martin’s review of compfight ... More About: Photography

Firefox Personas Updated
2008-04-12 00:35:00 Sometimes it’s the little things that make me happy - like the ability to skin my Firefox browser, for example.

Javascript Mario
2008-04-09 04:21:00 As seen on Hacker News, this is flippin’ cool. And not because it’s a tiny little Super Mario game, but because everything is rendered with Javascript . OK, so it’s not even the whole level and stuff is missing, but seriously, Javascript, people, Javascript. That’s impressive. More About: Games
