Twitter and Blogger are farking slow. This is all I’ve got.

WordPress is waaaay too restrictive. Screw you guys, I’m going to mcandre.blogspot.com.

Foxmarks is good stuff. Sure, I use Del.icio.us and I’ve tried Ma.gnolia.com and Google Bookmarks and Google Browser Sync. But Delicious and other bookmarking services fail to include JavaScript bookmarklets or favelets. There was a need to sync mine between computers:

• Post to Del.icio.us
  
• KeepVid
• CoralCCDN
• Xray
• Remove Redirects

The bookmarks toolbar is a great idea. I use the left side for these tools and the right as a pool of temporary links. Foxmarks supports bookmarklets, syncing them between Firefox on Mac, Linux, and Windows. It fills this niche nicely. It’s not intended for publicizing links like Delicious, just storing and syncing for private use. Jimmy, this is for you! Convince Flock to incorporate it.

I used an Engadget tutorial and FARK’s colors to make a custom Mac RSS screensaver.

My roommate needs a cable to connect his Mac to a huge monitor for watching movies. He found an HDMI to DVI adapter at the Apple store. Price: $119.95. Then he looked for one on other sites. Newegg price: $7.99. He comments, “But the Apple one is one foot longer.”
