WAL-MART -$40.00
BUYPAYMENTS.COM 866840 -$1.00
SCI*SEPHORA.COM -$1.00
WAL-MART -$1,035.40
I am an international traveler, never let my card out of my sight and am very protective of my banking information when shopping. It would [...]
If you work on any WordPress blogs/sites that are written in any language that has accented characters and happen to be on DreamHost, you have probably noticed character encoding problems. For instance, the new auto-save feature in WordPress or the Ajax categories add field in the category list, can display improperly encoded characters.

If you happen to work on MySpace blogs either personally (my seriously needing some attention personal page) or professionally (myspace marketing for clients), you have probably found some serious user issues with the blog editor (not that I would mean to imply that there is anything haphazard, unplanned or completely ineffective about the development of [...]
Do you buy books online, use Google, or download to an Ipod? These activities will be hurt if Congress passes a radical law that gives giant corporations more control over the Internet.
Internet providers like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congress hard to gut Network Neutrality, the Internet’s First Amendment. Net Neutrality prevents AT&T from choosing [...]
Google Mars is up with some amazing pictures of the Martian landscape from NASA. The pictures are available in three ways: an ‘elevation’ topographic model, a visual satellite image, or an infrared satellite image. It is the same interface as Google Maps and includes indexed maps of the highlights, like mountains, canyons, and craters.

In case you haven’t seen it, Basecamp is a website for project management, but more to the point, it is quite possibly the best collaborative organizational tool ever. Create a project, add the people involved and then share to-do lists, milestones/goals, post messages with files and write on virtual whiteboards, all while assigning everything [...]
Of course, now that I finally have Internet again (after 2 1/2 months), I decide to upgrade my WordPress 1.5 blogs to WordPress 2.0.1. 6 hours later, Matt gives birth to: WordPress 2.0.2 Security Release. *sigh*…. but did I mention I have a 20Mbps DSL line? I love France.
Ahh, newsletter spam. Boyles Furniture, of the Hendricks Furniture Group, doesn’t seem to care that I have unsubscribed to their newsletter 14 times in the past six months. It’s kind of a game now. They send me a newsletter in violation of the Federal CAN-SPAM Act and I forward that newsletter to [...]

Now available, Start.com is Microsoft’s answer to the Google Start Page. While the page doesn’t have any Microsoft identification besides the copyright, it is an obvious copy of the Google page, from the layout to the DOM / CSS / Javascript coding. As an incubator project, it is probably just a pet project [...]

Being obsessed both with photography and New York City, I thought I’d share one of my favourite destinations on the internet, the New York Public Library’s Digital Gallery. An amazing collection of the Library’s rare and select maps, photographs, posters and the like, the collection has almost 300,000 images to view.
