TimesToCome Mobile has an outstanding list of mobile-friendly websites.

The Bottom Line: I won't be posting here for a while, perhaps indefinitely. But I'll be writing up a storm at EdBatista.com, so I hope to see you there. UPDATE: I've successfully exported all the posts from this site to EdBatista–amazingly, it was even easier than TypePad promised; having taken a lot of heat lately,…

From our friends in Redmond: The Office HTML Filter is a tool you can use to remove Office-specific markup tags embedded in Office 2000 documents saved as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). When you create an HTML document in Office 2000, Office-specific markup tags are embedded in it. These tags help "round-trip" the document for editing…

I picked up a 1 GB iPod Shuffle almost on a whim this weekend. Lord knows I love my 20 GB model to death, but it’s a little too heavy for a shirt pocket or for exercising, it’s expensive enough that I worry about dropping it or losing it, and the battery life isn’t really…

So I’ve put the Google search box back (TypePad makes it easy.) But it’s…

I just dropped PicoSearch from my day site and substituted the Technorati Searchlet. Much better. Far superior search results, and no need to manually index the pages (so presumably no maximum page number.) I wasn’t able to get it to work for this site–perhaps because it branches off from my primary TypePad account, perhaps because…

Merlin Mann has not one but two great posts on how to manage email more effectively. Hat tip to Jeffrey Veen.

In addition to ecto (which does come in a Windows version, TypePad's outdated advice notwithstanding), TypePad recommends Zempt and w.bloggar. And I need something–I love TypePad, but the editing interface is not the best (and it's actually worse in Firefox, but I just can't see going back to IE.)

I was under the impression that if you wanted to create a customized popup in TypePad (say, for an image of the San Francisco Giants’ Mays Field), you had to be using an Advanced Template in order to have direct access to the CSS where you’d do some funky technical shit. Not so, dope. You…
