Old Man IE6 shakes fist as Firefox surpasses him in browser share {Download Squad}
Nov 4th 2009 7:25PM I love IE6 as a web developer. Causes no problems for this hardened web warrior! Here's how you can tame the beast and be happy like me: http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/developers-stop-whining-about-ie6/
10 web apps you should be running on your Mac with Fluid {Download Squad}
Nov 3rd 2009 9:31AM You forgot Google Calendar.
I used to run Grooveshark as a fluid app until they released their own AIR app which has song notifications and shortcuts to play/pause tracks by clicking on the icon. It's only for VIP ($3 a month) but so worth it as I listen all day long.

Fitbit review {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2009 2:02PM I wear the FitBit on my belt and it adds absolutely 0 steps to the counter during my 1 hour ride on the Metro everyday. I specifically checked before and after. I could see how keeping the FitBit loose in your pocket could fudge your data. You really need to clip it to something for the best results.
Fitbit review {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2009 2:00PM I've been wearing my FitBit the last couple of days and I like it for the sake of the data it collects automagically. It's like Google Analytics for your physical activity. Putting it into sleep mode is a little weird because you have to remember to press and hold the button for 2 seconds before you go to bed and when you wake up.
I hate the food tracking feature of the site. I prefer http://www.thedailyplate.com/ for that. Overall I'm quite pleased with my FitBit knowing I have all of this data coming in about what i've been doing so I have something to compare it to in the future. You've got to look at this thing for the long term!
New Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse arrive at the FCC {Engadget}
Oct 2nd 2009 1:44PM Sure took them long enough. I had this idea almost a year and a half ago! http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/steve-jobs-cannot-design-a-mouse/
Is "Real-Time" taking the place of "Web 2.0" on the hypechart? {Download Squad}
Sep 15th 2009 10:10AM Real-time is easy and more fun to work on while relevancy is harder. Programmers like to do fun things before the hard things hence a surge in real-time technologies. Once we reach true real-time we can then buckle down and take a crack at relevancy.

Sep 14th 2009 11:31AM Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!
Facebook brings notifications to your Mac desktop {Download Squad}
Sep 11th 2009 10:27AM This app is a little pointless if you keep GMail running in a Fluid app all day. The same information can be e-mailed to you. I thought it would show updates to the news feed in a little Growl bubble.
Hi, I'm keeps all your social profiles in one place {Download Squad}
Sep 11th 2009 10:22AM http://hi.im/kingkool68 Works well. Just like a bunch of these other sites including Digg, Google Profile etc. Atleast it has a neat domain name.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
