I am finally back!  It’s been a while sense my last post.  I had a baby.  Anyways I am back and going start getting back into the game feet running.  Today we have a new site to try out.  Mailinator!  It is a website that lets you direct incoming email to an RSS Feed or just display all mail on their site.

For example.  freiertime@mailinator.com -> http://www.mailinator.com/rss.jsp?email=freiertime

It works nice if you need to sign up for a site that requites confirmation but don’t want to receive email spam from them.

I just signed up for Google voice!  Its kind of intersting, Google give you a number that forwards to your phone.  Kind of sounds a little lame but there are some cool things about it.

• Translates voice mail to text email.
• Screen income calls.
• Store all SMS messages.
• Place calls from your google number.

Over all it seems ok, Might be good sometime in the future after I use it a bit, but for now I would have to give it an “Ok, I guess”

Baby birthday contest is closed!  All the guesses have been listed on the guessing page.  I will announce the winner shortly after the birthday.

I am on the verge of developing a new site, http://www.youweredriving.com.  This new site is a location to comment on drivers.  Lets say someone just cut you off, with this site, you will be able to enter in their license plate, state and leave a comment on their driving.  Also you can view your own record, and see if anyone has commented on your driving.  Let me know what you think?  I am also looking for a good graphic designer to help with the layout.

Home Double Click, an add-on I developed for Firefox has been nominated for a public plug-in.  Cross you fingers, it just has to get through their code editors.  You can download it at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14246.  It currently has been downloaded 92 times, and has 43 active daily users, YAY!  For more information check out my Firefox Add-ons.

Guess the new babies birthday and win $10! One guess per person, everyone who correctly guess the day, I will send them a Money Order for $10! 🙂

Living in uptown you experience lots of Pan Handlers, Buskers, and Beggars.   I can’t even walk from the Uptown Bar to Williams with out loosing a couple of smokes.  Below is a video of my favorite busker, he’s out there every weekend playing he’s saxophone and creating an enjoyable mood.
