Really great overview of the history of the internet. Thank you Digg, you point out some of the best content.

RSS Landing Pages

Subscribing to many different RSS feeds, some for educational value and some for entertainment. I’ve seen a reoccuring theme where the landing page is 90% ads, having the link to the real article being buried somewhere in the middle of the page. This gets pretty annoying having to eyeball for the real content, especially on a mobile device. On a side note, it also makes me less likely to share these links on my blog or forward them to friends. Can we all convert to inline RSS ads for easier usability?

Mail Goggles

A handy gmail setting that allows you a sobriety check before sending off any email. I recently recall an email where I used the “the stars have aligned” in one such email to a boss. I will of course be turning this feature on.

“Select the days and times when you’re likely to need Gmail to step in and double check that you want to send that email.”

By far my favorite piece culinary equipment.
