  • A Cuil new internet time-waster

    Forget searching for a googlewhack. With the launch of Cuil, now you can waste your time trying to find the elusive one search that shows the correct image next to a result!
    Inspired by Charles’ mini-review, I also searched for myself, and here is what I found in the first page:

    … and so on.

  • Maven is going where, you say?

    Warner asks Is Maven going away?
    Gee, I wish someone had told me, considering I’ve been spending an increasing amount of time on it again recently.

  • Twitter is growing on me

    I’ve been on Twitter for a couple of months now, and I have to reluctantly admit that Twitter is growing on me (sorry, Tim! :).
