Cool Techs

  • Ravelry: Ravelry is a knit and crochet community. Networking for yarn-heads. So much more fun than Facebook.
  • Facebook: After having a profile in Facebook for some time, I deactivated it. Facebook's privacy policies just rubbed me the wrong way, plus I never had any fun with it.
  • Flickr: I finally got a Flickr account. I was reluctant because I tend to be lazy about uploading pictures, but the Uploader makes things so easy... I can resize, tag, name and upload in just a snap.
  • StumbleUpon: Since I signed up for StumbleUpon I've been discovering tons of useful sites on web development, photography, Internet tools, etc. I really like the system. You add a toolbar to your browser, and with the click of a button you are taken to sites that match your interests. Also, I added my experiments to StumbleUpon and I've been getting tons of traffic from them.

News
