Interesting Calendar at Lifehacker

Whether it's practical or not, you decide. The concept though is interesting. The creator reduced the 2008 calendar to a summary of only about 75 characters. This could easily be committed to memory and with only a little effort you can calculate what any given day falls on.

Thanks, Gina at Lifehacker for finding this tool.

Don't Rely on Technology This Much!

I guess this fellow followed his GPS instructions and turned right onto train tracks. I assume they mean he was riding on the rails not just simply crossing the tracks. Apparently the GPS called for a turn, so he turned. CNN summed it up well: Doh!

Ignore my earlier post on a GPS Deal at Buy.com and stick with paper maps if technology wins out over common sense.

Tempting Deal on a GPS at Buy.com

My wife has a different make for which I paid almost 3 times more. I really can't spend the money right now, but I wish I could on this basic unit. The only thing I'm not sure of is if it tracks the satellites as well as our Garmin does.

Navtour NT-147 GPS Portable Navigation System 3.5" LCD with MP3 Player & Voice Recorder. - New Factory Sealed! $119.99 Free Shipping

UPDATE: I found the manufacturers website and looked in the FAQ. I found in there a question about map updates. Unfortunately for this model it states, "GPS model NT-147 will NOT receive any map updates." Here's the link: Navtour FAQ
Maybe this isn't much of a concern if you live in an area that hasn't had new development. The maps may be a couple years old...take that into consideration...the price is still good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Know Your Wines for the Holidays (Articles from BNET)

Almost too late for the holidays...but better late...

If you're like me, you enjoy the occasional bottle of wine; but when it comes to selecting that bottle, it can be a challenge. There are so many wineries and so many varietals of wine. Any help I can get before going into the liquor store relieves some of the anxiety. For me, it is fun to just go up and down the aisles and look at the cards that our local store (Premier Wines) has in front of many of the bottles; which list ratings and taste qualities.

BNET has a very good article summarizing all the varietals of wines available:
Wine Types: What They Are and Where They're From

While your at it look at this article on BNET for a lot more information on wine:

Web Browser Recommendation...Switch Off Of Netscape

AOL announced today that after Feb. 1, 2008 it will no longer be supporting (issuing updates for) the Netscape web browser. Myself, I haven't used Netscape in years. I'm a big fan of Mozilla Firefox (and Thunderbird for the email client). With AOL no longer supporting Netscape, if you continue to use the browser, you will open yourself up to potential security threats. Switch to one of the other available browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.) now so you can get adjusted to the 'change of scenery'. In the Netscape Blog, they even suggest switching to Firefox and installing the extension to add the Netscape theme (will give the appearance of Netscape). This is what I love about Firefox, the program is open so programmers are able to create extensions/add-ons which you can install to greatly increase the utility of the program. Maybe sometime I'll list all of them that I use just for reference (for now, visit the Squidoo lens I made which has some of my extensions).

Evernote Portable Free Download Today at GiveAwayOfTheDay.com

Very worthwhile download at GiveAwayOfTheDay.com for today only. This program I've heard has gotten rave reviews.
Resolve to get organized in 2008...starting with Evernote Portable. This freebie is the portable version which you install on a USB drive or memory card and carry with you. Especially with the plugins for FireFox and Thunderbird and Internet Explorer you can easily clip into a note almost anything (webpages, emails, spreadsheets, documents, pictures). It has some sort of word recognition where if you type into its search function 'thrifty', for example, it will find all notes with 'thrifty' in it including any pictures which might have the word thrifty in it. Very good categorization. Can create to-do lists, shopping lists, expense reports, etc.
I've installed it on my drive. I'll be trying it out over the next few weeks. Download it today because the free offer expires at midnight. Read more about Evernote Products on their website: Evernote

Try Feevy to Create a Dynamic Blogroll

I came across this site called Feevy which lets you create a widget containing a list of blogs to put on your blog side bar. See the Feevy in my side bar. Kind of a different way to create a blogroll (although it does take up a lot of space). It lists the blogs which I like as well as a preview of their most recent post.
