Logo

// April 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Cool stuff

I need to come up with a logo for my site. I like this theme, but don’t like having that default theme logo.

It’s been a long time.

Wow! It’s really been 6 months since I have done anything with this site. I guess it’s because what I was wanting to do with this site was post things that I think are interesting that I find on the internet, but what I have been doing is using FaceBook to do that instead. The tools that they have for sharing things with your friends and family is far better then my ability to develop them on my own. Come check me out there sometime.

Things that interested me this week.

I decided it might be cool to try and organize a summary of cool things I have seen or done online each week.

Evernote

First thing on my list is the reason I got this idea. By trying out Evernote online. It is a very cool little tool for capturing things you find on the web. I installed the desktop client, but the Web Clipper seems to be what I am in need of.

Android and the future of phones

The T-mobile G1 took off this week and that has been creating a lot of buzz. There is a ton of stuff all over about that. Looks like it’s going to be best to wait and see what the next gen. Android phones will bring. I like the idea, and I have not gotten an iPhone yet so…

Apple Insider has a nice little comparison article here.

Webkit is the first to pass the Acid3 test.

See here.

Toolbox CSS

Chirs Coyier from css-tricks.com wrote this article about this thing he calls the Toolbox CSS. I think it’s a great idea.

Mobile and Cloud computing are major right now. This is just more proof to back that up.
