Where's My Cell Phone?

I know that sometimes it is easy to misplace your cell phone -- and I know that more than once I've looked for another phone so I can call my cell phone. Another way to do this is to go through this website -- which means you don't even have to find another phone.

Facebook

I've joined the cool kids on Facebook.

The Internet Is Closed

It's impressive how much a power outage issue in SF impacts the whole internet...

Safari

I was a bit surprised to see that Apple is releasing Safari for Windows. I only occasionally use Safari, as I primarily use Firefox across all the platforms that I use. Just like Fake Steve Jobs.

However, I downloaded the beta version of Safari for Windows, and it's a bit odd. I don't really think that "typical" Windows users are going to use it -- it'll be good for web developers, and especially good once you realize that's how iPhone applications will be delivered. I'm a bit skeptical about how much the iPhone will really take off, though elements of it look really good and I think it'll be good for the smart phone industry as a hole.

One of the strange things is that Safari doesn't feel like a Windows application -- it feels even less like one when running on Windows than iTunes, perhaps because we've had a decade worth of experience in how a browser on Windows should be like. But I think it's a bit strange that as people are critical of applications like Firefox and the like that aren't fully Mac-like, that it's ok for Apple to make software for Windows that isn't like any Windows software.

That said, I suspect that the main users of Safari on Windows will be web developers...

Twitter

I've signed on to Twitter. I'm not quite sure I see the whole utility of it yet, but I was curious enough to sign on to it.

Google Reader

I'm starting to use Google Reader for my RSS feed reading -- and as you can see if you read my page directly you will see that I've added a list of items that I've decided to share -- and that list is also available on its own here.

There are certainly a great number of things that I discover that I don't have time or any particular reason to write massive articles about but just want to pass along.
