Cool Free XP Macro Maker

I had this problem where my monitor was always blinking when I boot up. The cause of the problem is my KVM switch. To fix it a had to change my refresh rate and then change it back. I finally got tired of doing this and downloaded AutoHotkey. You start the program them hit “record”. I did my "refresh rate" routine with the mouse and then hit “stop”. After that I opened the macho text file with notepad and added a delay at the beginning. Finally, I used the AutoHotkey "exe" converter and converted my script into an executable file. Too Cool! I also looked at the help and learned that it's a full fledged macro language if you want to do more than point and click. Now I have a handy automatic refresh rate changer in my “Startup” folder.

Online Calories

Check out this free online diet program. It even comes with a toolbar for IE or Firefox. I enter everything that I had to eat today and it said that I consumed 2300 calories. I need to get away from this computer and exercise.

Embed Odeo Players

powered by ODEO
I just found out that you can embed these cool players into your site from Odeo (a podcast portal). The cool thing was that Odeo only gave me to code for Code Monkey (above). I found the mp3 URL on Jonathan Coulton's blog for Skullcrucher Mountain and pasted it into the mp3 section of the same code and made my own (below). So, you can make one for pretty much any auto blog, Podcast, or online mp3 as long as you know the URL. In other words you use the Odeo code but the content does not need to be listed in Odeo.

Funtwo Guitar Video

I didn't think this was real at first. What do think? If it's real then it deserves posting. I guess he calls himself Funtwo.

Video Travel Tours

This is a cool site called TurnHere. It's like YouTube for travelers. If you are planing on traveling somewhere you can take a video tour first and see what it's like. Maybe you don't really want to go....

Be a Ninja

I've been learning a lot of useful information on Wikihow. For example, something I've have been wondering for a long time since I need a backup career, how can I become a Ninja. It really would work out because black cloths are slimming:

• How to become a Ninja
  
• Be a true Ninja
  
• Dress Like a Ninja Using Only a T-Shirt
  
• Be a Spy

Stellarium

I've tried these kinds of things before and never really kept them. This one is a keeper! It's called Stellarium. It's an open source free planetarium. After you play around with it you will see that it lets you do pretty much everything. You can even see the sky from your location, zoom into planets, constellations, and have real time rotation. It sort of reminds me of Google Earth for the sky. It doesn't have Adware or any type of registration. You just download and install. Check it out....

Secret Girl Code

Does this ring true to you?

Convert Image Into HTML

I downloaded this little program from www.noteme.com. The program takes an image and turns in into HTML code. The "noteme" page has a few examples that you can view. I made one from the picture of my dog: My Dog in HTML

Pretty cool! You can also do it with random text but the "@" images look sharper.

What Celebrity do you look like?

I've been running my entire family through www.myheritage.com all morning. It has a free demo celebrity face recognition matcher. I didn't get any close matches (49% Kevin Cline) for my face but my family appears to be much more attractive than me. You just select a photo from you hard drive and let it go. It makes you sign up but it’s free and no credit card is required.

Talk Pirate Day!

"You've read about it in Dave Barry's column. Maybe you caught one of our radio or TV interviews. Or maybe you just stumbled on to our site while googling around for sites your mother probably wouldn't approve of. Perhaps you're one of the millions of people from South Africa to Australia, from New York to the Pacific Northwest, who party like pirates every September 19th.

However you got here, stick around an' learn all about September 19 - International Talk Like A Pirate Day!"

Quick Online Spell Checker

Orangoo

"This little application lets you spell correct from any system or computer that has Internet access. It partially uses the Google spell checker and Aspell. Probably the best spell checkers around! The code is free, you can use it in your own web applications. In the future you may need to spell check some text, why not bookmark this service?"

Free Audio Books

My iPod started out as a music player and has now ended up being used exclusively for podcasts and audio books. I've already posted one of my favorite podcasts. I have started listening to free public domain audio books. I get these through iTunes or directly through that web site at librivox.org. They are free because they are "classic". It's a good way to catch up.

Search audio and video

Today I discovered a new search site called Podzinger. As you can tell from the name this site has something to do with podcasts. You don't need to be a podcast listener to use this site. What Podzinger does is search both audio and video podcasts. The cool thing about Podzinger is the technology that it uses. It actually listens to all of the podcasts and then does a voice recognition index on them. When you do a search you get a list of hits and some text that has been recognized. You then click on the word exactly where you want to start listening. I did a search and no one was talking about me in any podcasts but I did find some interesting comments about Abraham Lincoln.

No One Cares

I couldn't decide if I should go with this shirt or with the "Nobody reads my blog" shirt. I feel like that Seinfeld episode where Cosmo Kramer holds a talk show in his apartment with no audience.

To tell the truth, I don't think anyone really reads blogs. They are only useful for a group a contributors to share sites and interests. At least, this is what I'm telling myself.

Daikaiju - Rock / Psychedelic / Surf

I was at the site for my favorite Podcast today (Escape Pod). It's a Science Fiction Podcast Magazine where they read original Science Fiction short stories. The site also allows you to listen to old episodes thru your browser.

Escape Pod uses a group called Daikaiju (die-kie-joo) as it's sound track. I finally looked their site up. The Daikaiju site allows you to to listen to several of their complete tracks. You can also listen to more tracks at their My Space Site: www.myspace.com/daikaiju.

"Who is the Daikaiju? Kabuki men deliver most high rocket music. Special reverb skill combo for full impact! Loud Roken-Roll for earful pleasure!"

"All reverb guitar action full on, GO!!!"

It's sort of Godzilla meets surf rock. This may be the new soundtrack that runs in my head all day long.

Wookieepedia

This one is for Zook. It's a Star Wars wiki that I saw on LifeHacker. It looks pretty cool:

Personal Home Page

I recently started using Protopage for my personal home page. I don’t really need a personal home page but that’s beside the point. I was looking for a page service that met two requirements. First, I wanted to be able to quickly record my favorite links on a page where I could get to them from anywhere (like del.icio.us). Second, I wanted a page that could be viewed by others. Protopage meets this second requirement very well.

The easy hyperlinks posting took a little tweaking. You can get Protopage to easily post your hyperlinks by adding a special bookmark to your browser. The bookmark can be titled anything you want. The link should say the following:

javascript:location.href='http://www.protopage.com/add-button-toolbar?url='+ escape(window.location) + '&label=' + escape(document.title)

Just select this bookmark when you are viewing the page link that you want pusted on your Protopage.

I also found that Protopage will allow you to add multiple pages and have some secured. They are adding Wigets and features all the time. Give it a try….

Clueless Dancer

I'm not sure what's so funny about this. I think it's trying to make out what the girls voices are saying. It could also be the expression on the guys face behind him. It's like watching the first week of American Idol.

Keeping Organized

I recently found a really cool site that allows you to keep simple "things to do" lists online. The site is free. I have been using it for a few weeks now. The site is Tadalist.com. The company 37Signals has several other free and pay products. This is really all that I need to keep me inline. I have lists like "Things to do at home", "Things to do at work", and my favorite "CDs and Movies I want".

The site will also RSS or email you changes to your lists. I don't use these features. I just like the idea of being able to click a icon (or bookmark) from any computer and quickly add somthing that I don't want to forget.
