About me
Interested in all things technical. Always looking for a good deal on line or in town. Free and cheap software is good. Current favorite website: Giveawayoftheday.com and its sister gamegiveawayoftheday.com . Hansen's Pomegranate Green Tea Soda is good. So is John Pointer's music.
Why I use Clipmarks
They are so cute. I love the way they scurry around on the ground gathering nuts. It's too bad they are wild - I'd love to have one as a pet..

Clipmarks? I thought it said chipmonks.

Find your misplaced cell phone
VampireRat
by VampireRat  3-4-2008   
 Where's My Cell Phone is a handy new online application to help find misplaced mobile The service is actually low-tech: it simply redials whatever number you enter and you follow the ring until you've found your beloved handset, answer the call, and turn it off. The service is U.S. only for now. In theory it could be used to annoy your friends to no end, although when you pick up you're given the option to take your number off the list permanently. The creators also claim your number is never saved or kept tracked. This is a good thing and a bad thing, as taking your name off the list means you can never use it again, so be careful when you answer that found phone.

Make a Free Fill-in-the-Blank Website
VampireRat
by VampireRat  9-20-2007   
 Well, it's almost as easy as fill-in-the-blank. From there, pages can be edited and revised as well as marked private, public (viewers would require a password to edit it) or open so that anyone can edit and view it as they wish. Jottit then provides a unique URL in which the page can than be accessed. You can also add pages, videos, and photo albums, and create your own unique website address.

15 Firefox Add-ons Suggested
VampireRat
by VampireRat  8-22-2007   
 Johnathan's is a blog about software. It's worth a skim through the Archives. From this article, I found several Firefox Add-ons that I will be trying, including: " * Tab Mix Plus – Adds a host of helpful options for displaying and managing tabbed pages. * ScrapBook – When you don’t have time to read everything, ScrapBook saves the entire Web page and its linked page (you choose the depth) for your future perusal. * Google Notebook – one of several competing add-ons that enable you to clip, collect, organize, and annotate Web pages or parts of them; essential for researchers." A Clipmarks competitor?

You can also arbitrarily group messages together for any reason, solving one of the complaints of the message threading or conversation view that Gmail made popular."
