Toured my old high school today. What a dump. 20 years mellows the memory but the image in my mind and reality were dramatically different.
[Firefox] Turn any text into a ‘TinyURL-like’ URL. (This is awesome and free. Hat tip to LifeHacker.) http://tinyurl.com/3og7zo
In Alb. NM for my 20 year high school reunion. Feeling so old. Supposed to be 90+ today but it’s cloudy and cool. Love it.
Awesome story in College Baseball. Fresno State comes out of nowhere to win it all! Future movie. And future star in Detwiler.
{Active Rain} Pondering new AR product but wondering the point of being in a walled garden. Can’t wait for REBlogWorld debate on this.
Google Docs won’t allow PDF sharing. Yet. Error received when trying to upload and share IVPI Proposal for a new national appraisal system.
Makes managing all your web applications (think Outlook on steroids) super smooth. No more excel password files. Unique IDs made easy.
1Password for Mac is changing the browsing ‘login’ experience for me. Shortcuts to launch login is quick w/FF3. Command + “" Wicked fast.

These days, ID and password management is a burden and a privacy concern. 1Password solves problem and integrates w/iPhone. Quite necessary.
{Must-Have Apps} Mac-Users: If you don’t have 1password yet, get it. Been using it since MacWorld and I can’t remember life without it.
LOL. DJ on the great Summit County station (KSMT 102.7), asking for listeners to be his myspace friends. Social web is ‘broadcast me’ web.
Reduce. Simplify. Tame the noise. Un-following, deleting feeds, canceling subscriptions. Aummmmmm.
I’m curious if anyone has found a URL snipper for Firefox 3? TinyURL still hasn’t updated. SnipURL can’t tell? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I want @InmanNews to send me to Real Estate Connect SF ‘08! (Already going so if I win, I’ll re-gift to one of the REBlogWorld attendees.)
Great baseball weekend. Saw beautiful AAA parks in Louisville & Indianapolis. Traveling home today for a few days of heavy lifting. Peace.
Meanwhile, 95% of the industry sits idly as their products, options, and dignity slowly ebb away. Makes me ill. Apathetic originators.
Some state associations (including Colorado) are upset and fear losing members if this assessment occurs.
At NAMB Annual Convention in Indianapolis. Word on the street is that a special assessment on every member of NAMB may soon be enforced.
Looking for a CO based CSS designer to donate a few hours to a fledgling non-profit that helps at-risk youth stay in school. Leads? D me.
My guess, Firefox total market share to 50% in two years. Adoption of FF3 by FF2 users will far outpace IE6 to IE7 adoption rates.
FF3 user experience with RTM is much improved. Email & Task sync with GTD based system is now easy and pleasant. Nirvana is close. HUGE!!!
twitter spew button now: {off}
Traveling to Indianapolis in the AM for the NAMB Annual Convention. Trying out Google Docs new offline capabilities to work on flight.
New Firefox skin is clean as a whistle. Simple. Wicked fast. Hogging less of my system resources. See what happens as extensions get added.
Downloaded FF3 today. Tried Beta a few weeks ago but many plug-ins weren’t ready. Much better now. Testing Greasemonkey scripts tonight.

Took a couple of days away from the computer. Everything feels fresh again. Discovered the Tiki Bar in Dillon today. I predict more visits.
Plurk confounds me. Today I finally got my twitter follows into it (new add?) but couldn’t do much more. Lost interest after a few minutes.

The emergence of Plurk will add one more burden on the re-construction crew at Twitter. But competition is good for all of us.
My beef with Plurk right now is that I can’t scrape my Twitter following list. At least not that I can tell yet. So thats a hassle.
