Do You Google the People Who Interview You?
It's fair to assume that a potential employer will Google search your name before offering you a job. With the knowledge that an employer will be poking around the Internet for you-news, have you done a reverse Google? And I don't mean just looking up the person's profile on the company's website.

With the Sex and the City movie hitting theaters nationwide today, it's kinda exciting that my iGoogle page has SATC themed "How-To's" in my wikiHow's "How to of the Day" desktop gadget. Things like how to make a Cosmopolitan and how to fall out of love. . . the basics, right?!
Anywhoo, I'm loving the fact that they're in on the fun, and I'm sure Carrie Bradshaw would be loving it as well.
Another Internet Milestone: Cat Ladies If you thought ManBabies was an important milestone in the history of the Internet, then hop over and take a look at Cat Ladies. Some loony tune kitty lover had enough sense to know that there are two types of people in this world: those of us who have "real" babies and those of us who treat our cats as if they were "real" babies.
Browsing through photos and videos online just got a heck of a lot prettier with Piclens! This sweet download — that's been brought to us by another fave download of mine, Cooliris — allows you to gloss over thousands of photos from sites like Flickr, Photobucket, and Google Images, in a classy and sleek 3D slideshow. And what's better, the load times are nearly diminished since your slideshow is a virtual wall of thumbnails . . . allowing you to see more per square inch of your screen.
Piclens is friendly with your Safari, Firefox, IE, and Flock browsers, so all you have to do is select your browser of choice, and hit "download." Once you're all set up, hitting the little blue "play" button on a photo will launch Piclens and you'll be browsing more efficiently in no time.

It seems as though Metallica has logged on to the Internet and finally witnessed what it can do for business — perhaps they saw Radiohead's success with its pretty-much-free In Rainbows and the exposure bands receive via streaming on sites like MySpace and Pandora? Or maybe they just wised up and realized that file sharing is not the death of the music business, as was so direly predicted in 2000. When Lars Ulrich mounted an attack on thousands of Napster users, he had no idea on what the future would bring.
Could he have known that this year, Metallica would release a program called "Mission: Metallica" utilizing the same kind of techniques they went to court against? The band is reaching out to fans with DRM-free downloads and unreleased material, but fans have not forgotten their Napster massacre.
Can you forgive and forget, or is it too little, too late?
Yesterday, PetSugar informed me about a magical transportation service called BoltBus — an affordable, geek-friendly way to travel. So I maybe don't need to take a bus anytime soon in the New York, Philadelphia, Boston, or Washington region, but hello?! It's a frickin bus with free WiFi, which is still a luxury, and for the best part. . . there are outlets, in every seat!
What does this mean? Well for me it means unlimited hours of blogging and emailing, but for others this could mean watching some of your favorite movies and TV shows from sites like Hulu. Public transportation usually isn't that glamorous, but this definitely helps!
