Tokbox full screen bookmarklet

The b5media tech team has been using Tokbox and loving it. Free multi-user video chats with no signup rocks. Tokbox just landed a $10 million B-round, so congrats! But what is super-annoying is how small the Tokbox window is. You can have it go full screen from within the Flash applet, but [...]

Google Gears now supports Safari on OS X

You know that “Turbo” button in the upper-right corner of WordPress 2.6 (and WordPress.com)? That button uses Google Gears to store static WordPress admin files locally, speeding up your WordPress admin experience. Until now, Gears was only available to people running Firefox or Internet Explorer. As of today, people using Safari on OS X [...]

… Twittering

# OH: If Osama bin Laden is so poor he has to live in a cave, there is no money in video blogging. # Thoat getting sore... trying ginger ale. iPhone isn't receiving calls - f'ing Rogers - I miss my wife's voice. # @darrenodonoghue Someone go out for Mexican last night? # Elevators broken at my ghetto hotel.

Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator

Bush lifts import fuel limits, Ike price-gouging reported

History of the browser user-agent string

Absolutely demoralizing, yet hilarious, history of the strings that browsers use to identify themselves to websites.

Freestyle Rap Battle Translated

A rap battle, translated into proper English.

UK douchebag: Europe will hate America if they don't elect Obama

This tool desperately wants Americans to want him to like us. Trust me, "international esteem" doesn't make the top 100 voting issues for Americans. We haven't cared what Britain thinks for, oh, 232+ years.

Martha Stewart: WordPress shoutout
