Steve Rubel at Micropersuasion has come up with this handy collection of “MiniMe” Bookmarklets which load micro versions of sites in a small window you can keep next to your browser window. Therefore, you can keep things like Wikipedia, Google Reader, Digg and many others in a little browser window off to the side while you work on other things. Very cool idea.
Slow Burn Productions is putting up some great content, including beating me to the punch on an idea I have had in the cooker – “Pocket Moleskine vs. Levenger Shirt Pocket Briefcase“. You see, I have switched from using the Moleskine to using a Levenger Shirt Pocket Briefcase myself and it has been working great. I keep it in my back pocket and find it a much more convenient and at-the-ready capture tool. That is not the only reason for the switch though. It also stands as fact that my Moleskine 18 Month Planner was stolen along with other items in a recent break in so it would have been replaced anyway.
For those of you in the Twin Cities Area, I am going to do everything I can to make it to MinneBar ’07, a Barcamp happening on April 21st down in Lowertown in Saint Paul. There will be some great sessions and demos. Looks like a good time. Be there or be opposingly right angled.
(Update – I give a more detailed review of the Levenger SPB in the comments.)

Smart idea. I could see a couple of these being of immediate use to a lot of people.
Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement…

Life is like baseball…
March threw me curve balls. April threw the ball back to the pitcher and now he is lobbing nothing but heaters across the plate while I take big hopeless swings.

Michael and I put together a kick-arse backup plan for my house this weekend. This may help with the next stage.

A great video parody and a fairly nice cover of the song as well.

Introducing – The Random Post
The Random Post is my new little experiment in blogdom. It is a tumblelog which is described by Wikipedia as “…a iation of a blog, that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging.”
Mainly, this will be the place I put all the little stuff that does not seem to be worthy of inclusion in a full post on patrickrhone.com. That being said, I do have my del.icio.us links feeding over there so you may see stuff show up there that I then decide to mention here.
I am using a free service called Tumblr to publish mine which makes it super easy. Gina at Lifehacker has an excellent tutorial for getting started with it. It is a really good solution for those who feel they don’t have the time to blog or would not know what to say.
In any case, take a look and tell me what you think.
Why I love her…
Patrick: You always seem to find the flaw in my plan.
Princess Bethany: That’s because there is always a flaw in your plan.
Do not ask me if I would like a hamburger or a taco or maybe a large turkey sandwich on rye, because the decision-making sector of my brain has shut down entirely. All those words you are speaking make no sense and instead feel like the tip of a beak that is busily pecking at my cornea.
Sometimes, Dooce writes things that really speak to me. Sometimes, she writes things that speak for me.
