Sometimes it can be frustrating when you bookmark a page then when you go back to it you forget what exactly interested you in the site. Or, maybe you just want to make little notes on the site that can be looked at by you later on. Using MyStickies, you can put little sticky notes on the webpage. It looks to be pretty cluttering. The theory behind it is genius, but there needs to be a less cluttering methodology to using it.

If you have your own website you might want to keep an eye on your competitors because they are using software such as this one to copy your site. This makes them look like they are you. This can be confusing for the customer, making them spend their money elsewhere when they should be spending it with you. This has become so easy that it is now completely automated for some software. But, is it legal? Nope. A website design is just like any other form of artwork. It is protected under copyright laws. Just make sure to stop them before they put you out of business.

Every day I wake up, take a shower, then look in the mirror. And, every morning I seem to be surprised that I have a gut like it wasn't there yesterday. Because of this, I am constantly on the search for the perfect workout, and now I have found it. Patrick Moberg gives us the website workout. What you do is do a specific workout for every one of these major websites that most of us go to on a daily basis. Try it and tell me if you lost any weight!

Bookmarks can be a pain in the rear for me at times. I really wish there was an easy and more visually stimulating way to look through them... Hmm... There is an online website that has the Symbaloo program for you. This allows you to put all your bookmarks on one page. That way you can just click the one that you want. They are in these colorful little boxes, YAY! Cough, cough... You can drag the little boxes around and position them in areas such as having all your blogs on the right, news sites on the left, video sites on the bottom, or just however you feel like doing it. If you use a login then you can get your Symbaloo desktop on any web browser from any computer. Only problem that I have with this is the limited space on the front page. I use way more sites on a daily basis than this and I also don't like having to login. It would have made it better if it were a program running on the computer that opens the browser up when you choose one.

At WordPerhect.net you can write on napkins, cig wrappers, or even batteries. This gives you the realistic look that you actually wrote on them. It is also in a font that looks handwritten. Click on some of the options and try it out. Although, you will find yourself laughing your head off since all the buttons have some kind of attitude or funny remark for you.

Have you ever been irritated when you can't send a file that is over 10mb or so? Your prayers have been answered now. With WeTransfer.com you can email files up to 2gigabytes and it also sends the file for you. Just put in their email address and yours. Then you click to upload the files and bam they get an email with a link that downloads the files. Great way to transfer for free.

TVClean is a new device that uses a roller to clean your LED screen instead of goopy gels or liquid. Instead this gives you a roller that works pretty much like a lint roller. You just swipe it across the screen and magic happens... it's clean! They even give you a no scratch microfiber ecowipe (a rag) to get what's left off the screen if you can find any. Most people are buying these to clean their finger prints off of Iphones.

Hulu has been a great database stalked full of video to entertain us for hours upon hours. What if you could have a Hulu desktop application for your computer? What you can!?! Yep, I use the desktop application most of the time to watch videos. Although, there are pros and cons for using it. Some of the pro's:
- Easier Access
- Ability to queue videos and it will keep them playing one right after another without pauses
- Searching ability
- Will recommend videos for you and auto play them
Some of the con's:
- Not as easy to browse through movies as online
- Can't get rid of the black bars on either side of the screen (tested via website and no bars)
- Commercials tend to be a little longer than when watching online and no option to do all of them at once
- Need to give it more buffer time than when you are on website... you find yourself walking away and coming back 5 min. later (although great time for a smoke or popcorn break)

I do some MP3 encoding from time to time on podcasts or tutorials, and I am always on the search for a new software for encoding. My search may have just ended today! Lame was my find for this month. It's not a stand-alone software, but it is an "add-on" to what you currently are using. If you are using LameXP or RazorLame then you are in luck that it will easily add to the software that you currently have on your system. Or, it can be added as a .dll file to some other existing programs. Adding digital album art, copyright locking, codec changing, and complete control. Ohh... the smile on my face. Check out this Wareseeker article for more information and download links!

When you can't decide what to eat and your partner just keeps on saying "I don't care, what ever you want", there is a place for you. The Urban Spoon put together the iphone app and website widget for picking restaurants. There should never be that question of what and where to eat again! So, please stop asking me what I want to eat guys!
Yea, this device has been out for a few months already. It has been updated though giving it the ability to connect sound too. This way you not only get your HD tv but your audio also. I wasn't going to say it, but what the hell this is a pirates dream device : Check out the specs here.

With this site you can take tutorials on html, find references, and help pass on your knowledge. The site has a very well formed layout for easy access to everything and easy reading.

Looking through all of the craziness of new blogs, old blogs, and news sites that are so tough to go clicking through all of those sites to get what you really want. The juicy stories! If you are wanting to organize all of this to make it easier and quicker to organize your internet information then you need to get a Feed Reader. A feed is what the site puts out every time they post something new. They update the feed and your reader brings them to your desktop. This is a list of some easier to understand and use Feed Readers.
- Google eReader - This is one of the quickest to get the new feed updates for you. With Google's eReader you can read your feeds from any computer since it is web based and just needs a login with your gmail account. The Google eReader will organize it slightly for you, but it is up to you if wanting to go more advanced in the organization and customization. The options for you to also, see the most popular feeds, get recommended feeds, and quickly share/email them is there for easy access.
- FeedReader - If simplicity is what gets you going then this is the reader for you. The Feedreader is very simple to organize, use, and read for pretty much anyone. Although, with that simplicity you also give up the look and feel. It can be very boring looking and not really any helpful functions in finding new feeds or sharing. It does have the ability to search through the feeds that you currently have to find a specific story.
- OmeaPro - Great functions visual stimulation while reading your news. Folders are given for you to organize your feeds into specific topics depending on how you want to view them. The information is in well Omea also works as an email and IM reader too. This gives you the ability to have everything in one place ready to read at your discretion.
- Mozilla Thunderbird - Great way to integrate everything together. With Mozilla's Thunderbird you will be able to do it all in one place. This is also integrated with Firefox and has add-ons that allow you to easily save your rss feeds easily in the applications. The set up is easy enough for a child.

Google has announced that, as of today, people can research and read about United States laws in the Google Scholar function. Don't know if it is legal for you to do something or want to see how other people were punished for something? Then this could be just for you. I call it the "BE YOUR OWN LAWYER OPTION". It's a quick way to look up things, but not the easiest. Sometimes with legal jargon for the average person to understand the information that you find might be a little confusing. Also, searching for things and figuring out exactly what the words you should use to the search can hinder you for a bit. Well, on second thought, go ahead and use the lawyer while keeping Google as your reference.

Speed and size are the two main things that I look at when I decide on software and features that I am going to use. When I learned that the bulky and slow, Adobe Flash, was tackling those two functions specifically, I had to jump for joy. The process of running an Adobe Flash product on my laptop was becoming a pain and I steered from it's use as much as possible. The prerelease version is out right now here. Here is what Adobe states as the key changes they did to it were:
Ubiquitous Reach
Easily installable and updateable, the full Flash Player will be available on smartphones and other Internet-connected mobile devices, doubling the number of operating systems your content can reach and enabling uncompromised Web browsing experiences.
Global error handling
The new global error handler enables developers to write a single handler to process all runtime errors that weren’t part of a try/catch statement. Improve application reliability and user experience by catching and handling unexpected runtime errors and present custom error messages.
Designed for mobility
To deliver on a high level of consistency and move onto mobile platforms with limited memory and processing resources, Flash Player 10.1 leverages hardware acceleration of graphics and video and many other performance improvements, such as rendering, scripting, memory utilization, start-up time, battery and CPU optimizations.
New mobile-ready features that take advantage of native device capabilities include support for multi-touch, gestures, mobile input models, and accelerometer bringing unprecedented creative control and expressiveness to the mobile browsing experience. Watch Flash Player 10.1 video demonstrations that show SWF content running on smartphones.
Expanded options for high quality media delivery
Flash Player 10.1 is ready to take advantage of upcoming media delivery technologies that will provide rich media experiences and create new business models. With new HTTP streaming and content protection features with Adobe Flash Access, premium audio and video content can be securely delivered within the browser. Streaming performance is enhanced with improved support for live events, buffer controls and peer assisted networking. Network context-aware services, such as smart seek and stream reconnect, will enable smooth, uninterrupted media playback and improved resource utilization on mobile devices.
Not all features and platforms are supported in this prerelease version. Consult the the Release Notes for details and stay tuned for upcoming prerelease refreshes. For more details on new features and enhancements in Flash Player 10.1, see the complete list of New Features and read What’s New in Flash Player 10.1.
