research into the effects of notifications
"There has been a considerable amount of research into the effects of notifications. People have studied the negative effects of interruptions in terms of task performance and emotional state, and have even created models to predict the cost of interruptions. It turns out, interrupting the user is bad." blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2007/03/06/would-you-like-to-redesign-notification-in-firefox-yes-not-now-never/

expand and contract shortened URLs - a search.twitter.com feature
For Firefox and Flock, using the LongURL Mobile Expander Add-on enables the user to see what the short URL expands to, but Safari search.twitter.com has this feature built-in...
NOTE: I have not found this feature in the Safari documentation yet. Any know where this feature is documented?
- When Safari search.twitter.com encounters a shortened URL,
is added next to the short URL. Click
to restore to the short URL.

Finally updated to Flock 2 and Firefox 3
I took the plunge, and finally updated my Flock and Firefox browsers.
We'll see which of my favorite Addons/Extensions no longer work *and* I miss having them.

OMG! Opera web browser speaks selected text!
- erich13 OMG! Opera web browser speaks selected text! Wow! The only thing better is that Mac OSX speaks any text in any application! Incredible!
- erich13 This feature of Opera (speaking) is not news to me. I already knew this, but wanted to share with others.
- erich13 And I bet others know that Mac OSX speaks, but I just discovered it. Should have known that Apple could do this. Simply amazing!

Pangram - Word of the day
pangram, as defined by http://www.owlsoup.com/foamtrain/glossary/ppp.html:
A sentence containing every letter of the alphabet. Useful in font demonstrations. Frequently used are phrases like “How razorback-jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts!” or “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” But less common are “The risque gown makes a very brazen exposure of juicy flesh.” or “Jaded zombies acted quaintly but kept driving their oxen forward” or even “The sex life of the woodchuck is a provocative question for most vertebrate zoology majors.” and the even more rare “Jelly-like above the high wire, six quaking pachyderms kept the climax of the extravaganza in a dazzling state of flux.”
