Board Game Geek Widget

I've added yet another content feed to the chaos that is my home page, a bit of javascript from BGG that pulls in pictures of the last 3 games that I played, above the Flickr photos in the gutter on the left. I figure one more feed can't make it that much worse. The next incarnation is going to have to be much simpler, at least on the surface.

Get a new cellphone for the holiday? Recycle it and turn it into a TerraPass | Green business, e-waste, New Year's clean-up, heavy metal we don't like

only 65 of us have turned in old phones? that's crazy, it's so easy. it's not like you can get any money for the things on ebay or even craigslist, so you might as well turn it in. i haven't even bothered to cash in my rebate towards a terrapass, but turning in the old phone was so simple that even i could be bothered to do it, and i'm a lazy bastard.

Google Calendar: powered by experience strategy

it's only been around for 8 months? that's crazy. i think it took gmail 12 months to become the de-facto standard webmail service. my prediction is that on their anniversary date they launch an updated version with a task manager, and blow Yahoo&MSN out of the water.
