Del.icio.us

I finally bit the bullet and signed up for Delicious. I have resisted this for some time, because I hated the URL for the most part, but also didn't grasp the value of saving my bookmarks on the web. I even blogged about how much I hated it.

Fast forward to today - I signed up three weeks ago and I LOVE it. Not only is it a great way to make my bookmarks searchable, but I also can share things I like with friends. The Firefox addon means it's integrated into my existing browsing habits almost seamlessly, and the tagging feature is actually fairly useable.

I'll admit part of the appeal is that I read so much on the Internet these days, I kind of want a way to catalog that. So when someone is like "how do you know this?" I can actually just be like "go read what I have read".

Here's my regular bookmark feed: http://delicious.com/heatherpedia

I've been tagging things "eggnog" for sharing with family and friends that are about the stuff I'm interested in, but for a more general audience. You can find those things here: http://delicious.com/heatherpedia/eggnog

Silence of the Lamps

This is the first "web comic" I ever went crazy for, back in 1997.

A glimpse into my wikibrain

The last seven wikipedia pages I have visited:
  1. Juan Soler
  2. Cataplexy
  3. Burma-Shave
  4. Frank Drake
  5. Savasana
  6. Abaya
  7. Benazir Bhutto
Why 7? Because it's the most illustratively biased sample!

blogging from my iPod

is less than ideal. Does anyone know how to copy/paste on the iPod touch or iPhone? Is it possible to save images off the web? At least I'm getting better at the keyboard.
