So there I was helping to shore up plans for a friend’s visit via email with required pictures. Low and behold I get side-tracked… and I almost sent the email without the attached photos.
Almost.

Forgotten Attachment Detector (by Jonathan K)

If you mention in the email body the (correctly spelled) form of the word attachment and one is not added, you will be prompted to save yourself from the 30-second-later DOH moment normally accompanied by the follow-up email with subject line: attachment.
Mental Note Saying OKAY is NOT the right answer.
You have to hit CANCEL to add the attachment. Doh!

What would YOU say if you had only 90 days to say it?
Disposable Webpage
Lives up-to 90 days and you get your OWN countdown clock!
Oh.. and… sticky notes.. I fetish them, really.
I thought the service was wiki style genius for all of the reasons listed and the overflow twisted uses I can socially condone.

Another way to retrieve your Windows Product Key:
RockXP retrieve AND change? ORLY?
My favorites have always been Belarc Advisor and Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder
I have to say if you have been using Belarc Advisor as a backup checklist, I actually DO know better than that. There is a Windows “advisor” out there that is so sexy it makes me blush. SIW will practically tell you who your mother likes best. Every morsel of information you could ever want, indeedy. Printers beware This is where those cute thumb drives come in handy.

But I am really posting in order to call shennanigans on RockXP for saying their software will give you the ability to change your Product Key. Still searching for that option, buddy!

My New Years 2009 was spent online! Go on document it
As the year of my planning no return

I apparently Ustreamed and Twittered well into the new year. I think I even made some calls. Broken twisted calls, because I was boiling too many internets at once and had no brain to use my cell.
(I am told it was a Karma moment that saved me from myself. )
I am not surprised. I have it like that.

I Have To Explain Away The Lava Lamp Video
Kina Grannis – Down & Gone

Simply if you click the video it will take you to the youtube page where you can watch and catch the lyrics Simply admitted I understand you all assume I am pumped full of chemical goodness to post such a lame video.
Honestly it’s more about showcasing a lava lamp that truly lavas! I’ve purchased some lame entertainment in my life but I am never more disappointed than when a new lava lamp just does not lava.
Candles are those tall glass Jesus Freak candles that often have a patron Saint if not the Lord Hisself painted on the front. They are cheap, last for years and you can turn them around!

Another reason to go Flickr Pro: Video Uploads

There is a rather neat pool project going on over at flickr that asks you to submit 90 secs of real audio/video footage of your typical day.
Or, Like Mr. Garfield, just your morning:

Good News!
You can still participate in the pool even if you do not have a Pro Flickr account according to these rules:
If you don’t have a Flickr pro account and you want to do a video for this group, you can link to an off-site video (say, at Vimeo), but you must abide by the time restriction of 90 seconds in total.
I smell a pre-existing meme thaw-out and do. You?
