Remember Listpic? I was in love with it, and slightly bitter when it got pulled for infringing on Craig's bandwidth, but I had to understand. My Craigslist addiction was so easy and efficient when I could see a preview of the images, and now I can go back to that with the Image Preview Extension from Craig's Toolbox (for Firefox)!
Just download the add-on, and whenever you're in Craigslist browsing, any pictures in the add will display a nice-sized preview. Click, click, back, click, click, back, click . . . I'm so not going to miss that.

Free People has just come out with some hip new carrying cases for your iPod Touch and/or iPhone. These multi-colored embroidered Checker Board Holders are sure to protect your beloved gadgets while offering a uniqueness other cases seem to lack.
If you're not loving this pattern, but dig Free People's designs, check out the Encrusted Ribbons case — it's the same size (4 1/2" long x 3 1/4" wide) and a bit cheaper, this one is priced at $28, whereas the Encrusted Ribbons case only costs $24. I think what excites me the most about these cases is the fact that they actually fit an iPhone — finally!
Online dating used to have such a stigma attached to it, but with more people logging on and looking for love, it's becoming just as common as trolling your local bar for a boyfriend.
In fact, with many dates being preceded by a Googling of his name and a perusal of his Facebook page, the Internet is now inextricable with modern love.
Just look at the amount of dating sites there are, like Match.com and eHarmony, plus niche sites that have popped up for flirting, like I'm in Like With You, not to mention the amount of "poking" that goes on on Facebook.
So, in celebration of Engagement Week at Sugar — tell me if you have ever found romance with the click of your mouse!
Geeky girl, Lifehacker founder and editor Gina Trapani has released a new book full of the kind of tips that has made Lifehacker a phenomenal one-stop Internet shop and me a devotee, called Upgrade Your Life.
I've always appreciated the way Lifehacker has not only made an impact on the geek community by writing awesome extensions (they're perennially in Download of the Day), but the site also gives you ways to hack your real life, away from your computer, with DIYs and simple tips, like the awesome iPod cord detangler trick.
On that note, take some time away from your computer screen, order Upgrade Your Life, and sit down for a great read. In 3-D.
Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was getting punk'd again after all the internet April Fool's shenanigans this week, but after a bit of research, I think this is probably just a concept project. In a story posted on the UK's Telegraph this week, a Taiwanese electronics specialist has developed a mind reading headset to control your iPod. Since walking and looking down at your iPod is just too distracting, the iMind allows you to choose what song, or what type of song you want played, just by thinking of it. Kinda like the (real) gaming headset we saw a few months ago, this one gives your brain a direct feed into your iPod, no remotes required.
The iMind uses twenty strategically placed sensors that "read thoughts" and detect tiny facial movements to play your tunes accordingly. To hear more about how it works, just read more
A couple of my friends recently got mugged in San Francisco, so after a few years of acclimating to this city that I love, I feel like a recent transplant again, because I'm feeling a little paranoid.
Last week, I would have said this Personal Safety Alarm from Brando was unnecessary and unsightly, but this week, it's lookin' pretty good. You don't have to clip it to your handbag like that, but I actually don't hate it there. It has a better chance of being accessed if I don't have to dig through my massive bag, after all.
On the other hand, I feel like I'd totally set that thing off in my office or home and make some innocent ears bleed. What do you think?
