Making Custom Icons for Google Toolbar

I’m a big fan of Google and one of the products of theirs that I use regularly is the Google Toolbar. I’ve started customizing it more than just accepting the standard set of icons that they recommend, but I’ve run into a bit of a snag.
As you can see from the image above, I’ve […]

How to Spot Fishing Messages and Spoofs

This may be a little basic for some of our readers, but I thought I’d take a minute and talk about some Internet security for a minute. As this site is dedicated to uncovering great stuff on the Internet, we’re also aware that there’s plenty of opportunities to uncover some less than stellar sites and […]

What Have You Been Doing? Rescue Time Tells You

What were you doing? Did you really spend that long on Facebook? eBay? Solitaire?
Maybe you’re being really productive and you need to know exactly how much time you were spending on developing that […]

Mobile Edge for the Mobile Professional

When I bought my wife her laptop I wanted to make sure she had a good bag to go with it. I wanted a bag that gave her plenty of room for cords and accessories, while remaining stylish as well.
It’s too bad at that point I hadn’t heard of Mobile Edge.
They have bags and […]

My New Favorite iGoogle Theme

Google has added quite a few new themes to their options for their personalized iGoogle homepage. Including a number of great looking ones from some famous artists.
My favorite though is this new sunlight earth calendar. I just like the idea of seeing how the available sunlight changes depending on the time locally and what […]

I Actually Agree with Dvorak on the "Green" Issue

I’m an on-again-off-again fan of John C. Dvorak. I regularly listen to TWiT and CrankyGeeks and Tech5 podcasts that he’s on regularly. Sometimes he offends me, but every time he at least makes me think a little harder about a topic.

Uncover the Internet Wish List

We all know the Internet is an amazing world of information and media nowadays. I was just reminded of it quickly this morning when there was a song on the radio and we couldn’t remember who the other people singing were in this little trio.

Subscribing to a Non-iTunes Podcast

Does anyone know if there’s any way to subscribe to a podcast with iTunes when the podcast doesn’t exist in the iTunes store?
Can I manually subscribe to a URL of the XML feed somehow?
If anyone out there knows the answer to this question, please let me know quick before I forget what podcast I’m trying […]

Hang-Ups Unlimited

A little bit of a different website that we’ve uncovered today. But Hang-Ups Unlimited is the type of website you don’t even realize you need until you come across it and realize everything they have to offer.
Our office has a drop-ceiling (like millions of other offices, schools, churches) and sometimes it can be a […]

EventBrite - Online Event Management

A website that I uncovered awhile back while working with a client is Eventbrite. The site let’s you setup an online event management application. Included in the available features are the ability to sell registrations for events as well. You can even sell sponsorships to people for the event as well.
My experience with using […]
