Let InvisibleHand guide you to better buying
Oct 21st
It’s not too often that I get really jazzed about browser plugins, but this one, InvisbleHand is simply too genius NOT to get jazzed about. The concept is simple enough, but no one’s gone the distance to actually write the script. Until now.
InvisibleHand is a firefox addon that will let you know when a product you’re viewing is available elsewhere at a lower price. If you’re like me, you might go to one of the big guys first to have detailed product descriptions, images, etc., and then likely begin the Googling to find it at a better price. InvisibleHand does the work for you (and probably does a better job).
Schapple, Bahoogle, Narcorati, and more!
Jul 29th
Schmapple. It seems as though the PC guys have run out of things to pick on the Mac guys about, and so they can only target one thing: iSmug.
Schmapple, along with a few other outstanding spoofs are made available by writer David McCandless. McCandless has been published in both the US and the UK including some top titles as Wired, The Guardian, Tank, and The Independent.
He’s recently completed a book: ‘The Internet, now in handy book form‘, and the associated site, www.theinternetnowinhandybookform.com parodies everything from Apple (Schmapple), Amazon (Amasszone), to ebay (kakbay) and technorati (narcorati). McCandless’s creations are more of a ‘Just go there and check it out’ type deal, rather than having me tell you about them.
Logitech NuLOOQ increases productivity
Apr 15th
While my shiny new Mac has not yet arrived, some of the stuff that I ordered to go with it has arrived today. 85% of it is Mac specific, so it’s not really doing me much good on my winblows based machine. However, one of the new pieces of hardware that arrived is truly changing my computing experience right out of the box.
At a suggestion from Bottle, I figured as long as I’m making this big of an Amazon.com order, why not just chuck the Logitech NulOOQ in there as well. And oh how I am glad that I did. Logitech bills the NulOOQ as ‘It’s not a mouse, it’s your mouses’ best friend’, and I can honestly say, it’s all that and then some.
Upon installing the software a bunch of popular programs and associated shortcuts are preinstalled (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier Elements, Firefox, etc.). First stop Firefox. A twist of the scrolling wheel is now rolling me through tabs, while and up and down on the wheel is scrolling me smoothly through pages, and a nudge left or right is moving backwards and forwards in browsing history. Could I have done this with a mouse? Sure, but why all the extra motion when, I’ve now got controls all under my fingertips with my left hand.
