TalkDigger plus RSS Reading Lists plus Aggregator equals?

TalkDigger(thanks lifehacker!) sounds great! Apparently, you can use it to find all references to a given url and get them back as an RSS Feed. If you could put a link to TalkDigger’s RSS results for each of your blog’s posts into an RSS Reading List and stuff that into an aggregator, you’d have a pretty pleasant tool for logging references to your site that would make it much easier to keep track of the conversation.

Revolution Controllers – TODAY!

Check out this video to see how you can play games TODAY using the same principles as the Revolution controller. The process is documented here and requires a Gyration Ultra mouse and an ASCII grip one handed PS1 controller.

Nintendo DS Wifi Status

More great news from Stephen Stair! After suffering the setback of having to write his own IP stack, it looks like homebrew Wifi is back on track!! Between this project and the upcoming Wifi/Internet-enabled Mario Kart, Tony Hawk and Animal Crossing games, I’m really jazzed about my DS. My daughter is really into Nintendogs, though, and I hope I can get some time with it when these hit.

Mods on the Cingular Razr

I purchased a Cingular Razr Black V3 2 weeks ago. It’s very nice(compared to my old nokia black and grey model). Their is a healthy modding community over at MotoModders.net!

I applied a new skin the other day. With this skin, the startup and shutdown sounds and animations, the background images and icon images are all black and Razr blue. Very nice.

Flock

OK, it’s pretty cool to have your browsing experience tied to your blog software, online bookmark manager and your photo sharing account. I’ve tested it out a bit and I get it.

Will people want to move to a different Firefox distribution? The answer for me is no. I want the main line Firefox with extensions that suit my needs. If Flock releases an extension pack for Firefox that integrates well with my favorite services, I’ll use it and be thankful. But half the reason I don’t use IE is because I want the cool new extensions. If I have to wait for those to be ported to Flock, it’ll drive me crazy.
