Chris Bowler of the Weekly Review has written a post I call a must read. He talks of discipline and priorities and tweaking your system and in my opinion does a truly incredible job of putting into perspective something that I think anyone that’s done GTD for any length of time probably realizes at some instinctive level but probably can’t pull from subconscious to runway. Now we don’t have to because Chris does so for ...

Firefox only: Mozilla Labs unveils the first prototype of a natural language web service connector called Ubiquity, a Firefox extension that adds a command panel to any web page. Ubiquity will look familiar to Quicksilver, Launchy, or Enso users: you invoke Ubiquity with a key combination and the text field drops down command suggestions as you type. Ubiquity's built-in command set consists of "user-centric mashups" that let you perform tasks using various web services in ...

This is quite possibly the cleverest thing I've seen in a while. Ubiquity gives the web a command line for manipulating and aggregating data from various web services on the fly. Check out the video!

The main reason why more people haven't adopted command line shortcuts is because their brain doesn't move faster than their mouse (and a few page refreshes).

I started using this yesterday. It's quite useful, though only for a limited set of actions. I haven't dabbled in the dev side of things but as long as that's easy, I think this will take off.

This is looking very, very cool. I already heavily use bookmark keywords in FF, but this takes is much further to allow "scriptable bookmarks". Managed to put together my first simple Ubiquity command to look up Japanese words in a translation dictionary in about 10 minutes following the tutorial, and it sounds like more complex commands won't be too much harder to write.

Filed under: Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Trailers and ClipsWhat if someone took the video game Pac-Man and turned it into an independent live-action, horror-thriller? Well, check out the video above, because that's exactly what these fine folks did on what looks to be a budget of about twenty bucks. This time, however, we're seeing things from the ghosts POV and Pac-Man is the hunter, instead of the hunted. The Pac-Man graphics are on the cheap, and they ...

When enabled, Gmail Superstars allows you to set the star to one of 12 different icons for more robust labeling via the previously single-function star icon. The really cool part? Gmail Superstars are incorporated into Gmail's advanced search, so you can use queries like: has:yellow-star ...
