What to do, what to do…

I brought my MacBook into work with me today, only to find that I apparently work in a lead-lined building. At least writing doesn’t require net access. There are so many times that I get ideas during the day to write about but by the time I get home, they’ve sort of faded away. I could throw ideas into Evernote for later if I could A) install the desktop client or B) upgrade the browser. Alas, corporate systems are locked down to the point where I can’t even change my wallpaper.

On the upside, I’ve just noticed how much longer my battery is going to last without running AirPort. Nice.

I’ve been considering adding a page to this site that would be some of my recommendations for cool (and usually free) software or web apps that I come across. Since I don’t always have stuff to blog about, at least that would give people a reason to stop by and give me a chance to share some neat stuff. I just have to sketch out a framework for myself so it’s got a bit of structure.

One of the latest I’ve been playing with is Woopra. If you have a site, you can register for the private beta now. Not only is it the most complete site monitor I’ve ever seen, but you can tag and even interact with your visitors. Since my site is very low traffic, I don’t usually manage to be online at the same time. I’ve seen the world map running in the background of GeekBrief TV and it’s really cool to watch all of the lights blinking on as people visit the site. (I, on the other hand, had to IM my Mom to hit my site so I could see it in action.)

Yeah, I think I may just add that page. I need some way to spread the nerdliness around.
