While I suppose you can say I’m a bit more a geekette than some of my cooler contemporaries, who are concerned more with the latest Manolos than PDAs, I think I’m going to leave most of the dorking out over technology on this blog to Nate.  (Not that he’s a dork.) (Okay..well..) (Nevermind.)
I’ve got a Treo, and [...]

After checking out Mister Wong, I followed a path down the rabbit hole and found something I absolutely must check out: Pownce.
Kevin Rose of Digg fame is behind this new venture, and here’s what it is:

This morning I received an invitation to the Mr. Wong closed beta. I’ve played around with all the bookmarking sites before (del.icio.us, furl, ma.gnolia, etc.) but never really stuck with them.

This post has nothing to do with widgets, RIA, etc. Instead, I saw this linked from Reddit, thought it was funny, so I had to link to it. You’ll have to be patient, as their server seems to be CRAWLING due to the Reddit effect, but the article is worth it. The article I’m talking [...]

Mike Davidson has an excellent post on “How To Keep Widgets From Slowing Down Sites.” It’s a great point that people seldom think about: the fact that widgets are basically third party applications placed on your site/profile and that need to interact with an outside server. His example:

I cannot tell you how long I’ve waited for this: BandsInTown. I live in the Boston-area, and love seeing live music. But looking through papers, weeklies, and the web sites for local venues usually just shows me the live acts I’ve just missed. So when I heard that BandsInTown solved that problem, I immediately went [...]
