You found me. Work-wise, I'm CEO of AdMonsters, a professional association and conference series that I founded in 1999, co-founder of PrefPass, and co-founder of CreditCovers. I do a bunch of other things as well - have a look around. I don't really write much here though, so don't look for too much of that...

Silicone Garlic Peeler - this actually works, and it’s not a shitty “gadget” - just a neat little tube of silicone.

Lemon Squeezer - very useful for guacamole, margaritas, everything

Microplane Graters - great for cheese, zest, nutmeg, cinammon, etc.

Good design works!

I just managed to get my little Motorola HS820 working as a headset on my desktop PC. This O’Reilly article on Getting Your Bluetooth Headset to Work in XP was helpful - although I didn’t have to install new drivers, the step-by-step was useful, and once I switched over the audio in/out devices in the Control Panel, system sounds, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, and MSN Messenger all work fine over Bluetooth. Sweet!

For some reason I still haven’t been able to make it work on my little Thinkpad X40, probably because it’s running SP1 & a different BT stack…

I don’t have time to write anything more lengthy about this at the moment, but I will say that I found Walt Mossberg’s most recent rant equating “Tracking Cookies” with spyware a bit, shall we say, unenlightened.

I’ll leave a more discursive response to others, but I did take a few minutes to produce a screenvid of all the nasty evil tracking cookies that show up when you load Mossberg’s article on the WSJ site. It’s quite amusing: you get WSJ’s *own* tracking cookie, followed by _several_ others.

Here’s the video; enjoy and share! Flash Quicktime
