i did a ink drawing and took a picture of it then reduced it to 4 colors... 

The Monster Mash

So I got the news on the "Along For The Ride" blog page and I'd really like to add some other content from around the the Web that's relevant to the content on the page.

Google Calendar Search Results?

I need to spend more time learning Yahoo! Pipes for my experiment failed.

I did a public search from Google Calendar for "Windows Vista" but the results did not indicate a feed of any kind. Some black hatters might scrape the results page but I'm looking for another, ordained solution, if you will.

So I search for "how to include google calendar search results" in Google not finding much.

Then "how to include google search results on your page" to broaden the results. I found a list of Google policies and what not no "how-to" information ... but ... I was encouraged by the 20th result was titled "Google search results on your page". Dead end. They're talking about adwords. Well, Google Calendar Public Search was just released so perhaps a feed of such will be available soon.

Lets take a look at the Blogger Widgets. I was surprised to learn Google News Search Results was one such Widget. Perhaps a calendar solution is there as well?

No. I should move on. Basically, I want to include a variety of Google search results in my blog.

I'll try some other search engines like Yahoo! and Ask (not MSN cause, well, you know). A search in Yahoo! didn't look like I could feed off of search results. But one thing did come up which led me to Windows Live ... ( I know, same as MSN)

to be continued...

Microsoft: Oh No You Didn't

So far Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 doesn't play well with Google Services like Spreadsheet and Gmail.

This is a problem. And it better not be intentional or there's going to be such an uproar from the open source community.

Why is it that we keep having to force Microsoft to play nice? They steal the best features of other browsers like Firefox and Opera then shut down in a most ungrateful manner the internet paths to companies like Google ... a company that arguably, Microsoft percieves as a threat.

Microsoft, you better make IE7 work sweetly with Google services or I'm going to start thinking that your trying to squash competition in an unfair and unbusiness like manner ... again.

Cosmos revisited

Perhaps Carl Sagan was right when he said "billions and billions of planets" may inhabit our galaxy.

Maybe not the next thing, but an upcoming thing

Portable transistor radios were cool, the walkman was cool, CD players
were cool, mp3 players were cool

In the vein of XM radio, the new heir apparent to portable coolness is
mobile multimedia to your blackberry (yeah! I'm all about that! after
spending the last 12 hours playing with it!) pda, cell phone or some
combo thereof.

Prices will come down, usage will go up and we'll be swimming up, down
and slipping all over the stream.
