I google everything

At the time I write this, there are only 150 hits (on Google of course) for the phrase “I Google Everything”. Hey Google! How about some bumper stickers and/or T-shirts that say this? If you do it, can I get one of each free for thinking of it? Email me for my mailing address.

What self-respecting geek doesn’t google everything? Three real examples from today: Want to find out what that icon is/does on your cell phone display? Google it. What’s the wattage of your microwave? Google it. How does a DOMParser handle CDATA? Google it.

Doo Doo Def Show

I like some good hip-hop/rap. I found this podcast thanks to podcastoutlaws.com. It’s the Doo Doo Def Show. Not only do these guys play some great underground hip-hop, the three hosts are FUNNY! From their site:

“giving emerging hip-hop artists a chance to shoot us their music and get a review from three old, bitter, jaded hip-hop heads (Terntabl Reka, Poor Devil, & Pete Nasty) who know how hard the grind is.”

MP3DirectCut

Some podcasts are just too long. I get through 30 minutes and there is 30 minutes left. My MP3 player doesn’t remember where I was so next time I get in the car I have to FF 30 minutes. What a pain. So I found this awesome program to split the podcasts into manageable 15 or 30 minute chunks….mp3DirectCut. It cuts them lightning fast – no re-encoding. Great freeware program.
