You Can Believe It

Certain Celebrity Correctness ?

Its time has come,
with 'Gossip Cop'.

Their credo is "When a story appears on the Web, in print or on air, Gossip Cop will be on the scene, separating fact from fiction. Every day we’ll be posting new stories, photos, and video – and busting bad dish."

For example,
You'll be happy to know that ‘CSI’ Did Not “Ban” Justin Bieber.

So now when you jump into the shallow end of the gene pool, you'll be less likely to bump your head on some bad dirt.

I know I'll sleep better... while at my computer.

Also just for fun,
here's the U.S. band GOSSIP singing
'Love Long Distance'

Whilst wearing giant balloon heads?...

A Truly Hot Pad

...but nothing to do with cooking.

(*click* for their site)

I love wireless recharging - no plugs.


You get a matching 'skin' (from Wildcharge) and set your phones/pdas down when they need more juice. That's it, no need to find a cord for any of them because it holds multiple pdas at once. And now 'ta-da' they released a powerup skin for the newest iPhone...

Cool.

Now I can justify getting a new phone, right?

How Tweet

* texts sent via Twitter are called 'tweets' ;-)
Just how 'tweet' are those Twitter-ers?

Tempted by this fad? Believe it or not, website tweetvalue.com will gauge the value of your Twitter account. I'm guessing its based on # of followers - so by that score I'm afraid Kathy Griffin is still a 'D-List' celebrity. Compare:

http://twitter.com/aplusk (Ashton) 600,000 followers
http://twitter.com/mrskutcher (Demi) 300,000 follow
http://twitter.com/marthastewart 250,000 followers
http://twitter.com/margaretcho 16,000 followers
http://twitter.com/kathygriffin 8000 followers

*If you're still considering it, also consider Twitturly.com, which tracks the most popular URLs (or Web links) being shared across Twitter, and Tweetdeck or Twhirl, both of which help you manage/organize your tweets. Good Luck.

p.s. 'Too old' to Tweet? Queen Elizabeth joined 2 weeks ago. Her account is still 'parked' but that hasn't detered the fakers:

http://twitter.com/qeII - fake Queen Elizabeth, 1 follower
http://twitter.com/QueenLizzzie - fake also, 262 followers
http://twitter.com/QueenLizII - fake again, 736 followers
not to mention...
http://twitter.com/PrinceCharles - 800 followers...?

I like handy things

Still road-testing my first ever blog.

And I might use this post to add handy links
since I'm not ready to add yet another sidebar.

Good News: I have found out how to do code to open my links as new tabs,(not new windows) which conserves your PC's memory while browsing.
Bad News: This code is new-ish, so some browsers will send back an 'error' on use if I incorporate it.

So for now, *right-click* any links you want to open in a new -tab-.
