I don’t really want this site to become a linklog, but I couldn’t pass this one up. The Beer Hunter uses the Google API to display locations of alcohol retailers in the Toronto area. If they’re open, the icon is solid. If they are closed, the icon is translucent. Clicking on an icon gets you the address, the hours (with the opening hours for today highlighted) and their status.

I’m pulling the automatic del.icio.us updating from my site. I like it in theory, but in practice all I’m getting is a site full of bulleted links. While I think it is great that people may get the impression I’m updating my site much more than I am, you could easily get the impression that all I do is crap out bookmarks. Plus, you’re probably not interested in all the ephemera I grab from the web. Yesterday’s wealth of presentation-oriented javascript libraries, windows file managers and ext2fs drivers really drove that home for me.

I do intend to create a links of the day posting, but that will include only stuff I tag appropriately. This will be up as soon as move to my new host that supports cron.

I’ve popped up a few more wallpapers to my flickr account.

Over to France again:

And one last one from The Ex this past summer:

Web 2.0 I accidentally clicked on a link in my del.icio.us inbox that got me to an article on Web 2.0. I think that this pretty much sums up what most people think about this way-way-new-web malarky way better than a translation would.
