A Dramatic Look
I find the video of the little rodent doing a dramatic turn to the camera to be some of the funniest 5 seconds of video I’ve seen in a long time. And here’s my spin on it …

A great day in Yebot history
If you don’t know who Fake Steve is yet, ask the blog reader sitting next to you. I was just reminiscing about the day I made it to the front page of The Secret Diary of [Fake] Steve Jobs.
Oh what a day that was.

Hillary Soprano
I’m not a huge fan of Hillary Clinton, but I’ve got to give her campaign credit for making this Soprano’s spoof. Unfortunately for Hill, this promo accents how uncharismatic she is; especially in contrast to Bill. Her cardboard personality will be a tough hurdle in the next 17 months - assuming she gets the Dem nod.
A Flickr plug-in by another name…
So I redesigned this blog earlier today and I decided that I want to put some of my Flickr images to good use as a sidebar item. After some Googling I discovered Another Flickr, a plug-in that nicely builds a thumbnaily sampling of your Flickr account as a Wordpress add-on. All you need to do is download Luke H’s plug-in, install it into Wordpress, config it and drop a few lines of PHP into your Wordpress template. In my case the anotherFlickr code went into sidebar.php.
A little added CSS to tweak the positioning and clean-up the interface and you’re golden. (I added my own nav buttons and restyled the progress loader frisbee.)

Safari on Windows
As a web-developer, its hard to get away from Firefox on either platform because the wealth of plugins is too valuable; especially the web-developer toolbar.
But, this Safari 3 beta is snappy and I think PC-folk will like it. Anything that takes browser-share away from standards-ignorant Internet Explorer is a good thing in my view.
