Wow, that is pretty slick (I like your site layout as well). BTW - I found this site through your great Simpson's map on flickr.

Have a wonderful week!

Did you end up getting any of the toys?

Re: IE DevBar Beta 3 Released

Anita — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 09:18:55 -0000

I didn't realize the English language allowed you to put the words "favorite" and "Internet Explorer" into a logical sentence! ;)

I always liked IE before the IE 7 release. Now it crashes 5-10 times an hour, so I have no choice but to use Firefox and Opera. Ugghhh...

Re: Zillow – Make Me Move

If anyone wants to "Make Me Move", they're welcome to do so ... I put my home up this morning. Nice analysis Randy.

"Why bother" is what I was thinking too. As long as it's not required or even visible for most users, I don't think it will matter much though.

Del.icio.us needs to figure out how to become more accessible to the average user, adding tag descriptions to the already obscure idea of tagging (to Joe and Janet Internet User at least) certainly isn't going to help them regain the position they lost to companies like Digg and StumbleUpon.

Doesn't seem like you're venting too much, I was expecting a full on rage ... I hope you scored well on your AIMCAT!

Re: From Geek to Freak: How I Gained 34 lbs. of Muscle in 4 Weeks

Awesome job, that's amazing how much muscle you gained in such a short time. 4 months of that and you might be the incredible hulk! ;)

Thanks for the great links! I hadn't heard of the Alive in Baghdad vlog before, and loved watching it.

Re: The snarky questioner

Anita — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 01:10:39 -0000

I've always loved the word Snarky. Getting accused of being snarky would be a compliment in my book ... even better, if I was called "snarkilicious", I would probably give that person a hug.

As corny as Edwards is though, I doubt he'd ever call someone snarkilicious... too bad, if he did I'd probably vote for him ;)

Re: Ed Cone, combo of politics, tech, community

Posts like this is why I love your site ... it's great how one day you might be posting about the latest and greatest tech advances, and the next you're talking about lounging around eating banana pudding.

I always read CIO Insight mag, I'll need to start looking for his 'know it all' articles and read his blog. Sounds like a great guy.

Re: Edwards interview up

Anita — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 19:23:22 -0000

I was offered a job at IBM 10 years ago, and even then the Fab (for PowerPC and Cyrix chips in Burlington, VT) was just amazing. I can't imagine how cool Intel must have been in comparison.

Re: 25,000 items read on Google Reader

Anita — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 21:18:18 -0000

I've never been able to get used to the online readers ... they always seem too slow. I keep a desktop reader at home, and one at the office ... call me old fashioned.

Re: Hello Dell

For Dell, Conversation = 20 minutes with an Indian CSR reading a question and answer flow chart.

They need to address service at all levels, not just their big customers.

Re: Om Malik and iLike on ScobleShow

I've always felt that one of the the most frustrating things about music is finding the good stuff. As someone who doesn't have a lot of free time, I often just listen to the radio, because it's easy and I don't have to spend time hunting.

iLike.com looks like a step in the right direction for finding good stuff, particularly through networks of iLike friends. What I'd really like though is something like StumbleUpon, but for music. I never really thought the random suggested music through services like Yahoo (Unlimited?) were very targetted, so I've always dropped them after only a few months.

Re: If you had $10,000 to spend at CES…

Anita — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 23:28:07 -0000

Ooohhh ... think how many corn dogs and french fries that would buy!

Seriously though, if I had to spend it at CES, I'd probably buy 2 home entertainment systems - 50in LCD for the family room and 60in for the basement. Some nice speakers, receivers, and $10K would be gone in no time.

Otherwise, I'd give it to Leukemia Society or something.

Re: CES’s coolest toy: a dragonfly

Anita — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 02:42:11 -0000

$50 for that vs. $500 for an iPod? My mind is made up ... although it would be an easy decision since my 2 year old would probably break either, might as well go for the cheaper alternative.

Re: The Carbon Footprint of a Burger

Anita — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:03:19 -0000

I agree with the prior poster ... this sounds like a heck of a lot, but how much does it take to produce other items. Plus, if you do this on a carbon footprint per calorie basis, I'll bet the burger wins over some veggies that have very low calories (e.g. celery).

Re: Name That Whale, Quickly!

I'm a self-described tree hugger and actually like "Mr. Splashy Pants". I think the cute name makes it easier for more people to get interested, particularly children.
