“If the [car] battery loses its charge, the trunk and gas cap cannot be opened...”
– Doh. I guess I shouldn’t have disconnected the battery then closed the trunk (which is where the battery is). Thank goodness for google.

Tripit
I first heard of Tripit when they launched a couple years back, but though people raved about it, I didn’t really see the need. I had my own system for tagging all of the emails related to a trip in my gmail, as well as manually entering things into iCal, and for the handful of times I travel each year, that worked fine for me. Well, I finally started using Tripit a few weeks ago, and boy...

– Official Google Blog: A new approach to China
Great to see Google stepping up and confronting the Chinese government instead of trying to find ways for users to get around it. If anyone can make an impact, it’s Google. Can’t wait to see the outcome.
Quick thoughts on Blippy
David Noël’s post earlier today got me intrigued about Blippy, and since he was kind enough to send me an invite, I plugged in a bunch of my accounts, and gave it a whirl. It was immediately scary and exciting seeing all of my purchases pop-up on the screen, which makes me fairly certain there’s something here…
If you’re not familiar with Blippy, it’s basically a...

Getting Fit
bryc3:
I didn’t start off 2009 with a goal to lose weight or get to any certain fitness level, I just wanted to feel better. I didn’t set out with a plan or weight target but with a new year as a starting point and a commitment to staying open to where I could go with my fitness. Several people have asked me how I did it so I wanted to share a few things I did for those looking to improve their...
A "fancy" chair
Everyone is reblogging Chris Dixon’s list of “Things startups do and don’t need”. It’s a good list, and I agree with most of the items, though many really depend on the team, the product, and what city they are in.
One thing I disagree with is the lack of need for “fancy (aeron) chairs”. Maybe they aren’t a need per se, but I sit on my butt for 10+...
