Del.icio.us 2.0

Delicious 2.0 launched yesterday, but thanks to the great Firefox plugin, I rarely visit to the site. I never would’ve know the site was updated if I hadn’t read my feeds.

Broke my only pair of glasses this morning, so I needed something to make me laugh. This is old-ish, but still funny; it made me laugh. Brawndo. Enjoy.

Tweet From the Command Line

Sweet little Ruby gem so you can tweet from the command line, unencumbered by the weight of a GUI. I’m in!

Twitter, as applied to business (aka 37 Signal's Backpack Journal)

A lot of people don’t get Twitter. A lot. They ask me why I love it, use it, and why I tweet so much. I think it’s one of those things that you have to do in earnest in order to appreciate, but I think this screenshot of 37 Signal’s Backpack Journal is a great illustration of the Twitter principle, as applied to business.

What if you could see what everyone was doing, without having to ask? Exactly.

If you’re looking for a great game for your iPhone (updated with the 2.0 software, of course), you should definitely check out Aurora Feint. Polished graphics, solid play (including rotation), and engaging music. Really well done. And oh, it’s free. Get it from the Apple Store while it is.

Before my sons were born, I used to enjoy mountain biking. On mountains. My wife and I, with our friends, would go to the world championships and watch the pros in awe. If you’ve ever been to a trail, then you’ll appreciate how awesome this ride is by Sam Hill.

I won’t spoil the surprise ending, but it’s hard to communicate how insanely amazing this ride is unless you’ve tried to do it yourself.

And oh, my 5-year old just learned to ride his bike, so it’s looking like we’ll get back to the mountain soon. Excellent.
