Every once in a while something comes along that makes you say to yourself “Why didn’t I think of this idea.” Don’tClickIt is one of those sites that makes you also wonder about how we got so obsessed with the idea of pages and clicking in the first place.
Since Google bought Urchin back a few months ago I hadn’t visited the Urchin web site but it has been vastly improved. Here is a link to a tour of Urchin 6 On Demand. They have released a new version that’s not hosted on your own server, but on theirs. That’s cool, I’m curious about they’re plans to upgrade the stand-alone version.
I’m not entirely sure how the dolphin pictures on their new web site fit in however they look friendly so I’m sure it’s safe.
Time & Chaos is a great application (Windows) which I’ve used as a contact manager when I do cold calls. Highly recommended and the company just released a free version which you can download.
I really like the look of Middlebury College’s web site. Even though it’s standards compliant they’ve managed to stay away from a lot of the same layouts you see so often.
Windsurfer.
I know it’s hard to believe. I bought a used windsurf board. I’m as stunned by the news as everyone else. It’s so shocking I’ll repeat it: I now own a windsurfer. Not just any windsurfer, but a Mistral Malibu windsurfboard. It even has two sails!
If anyone wants to offer me some pointers by all means. Point away.
For my reading pleasure: Some articles on windsurfing and quick how-to guides.

I’ve just installed Screenshot Pilot, a free Windows app that makes taking screenshots a lot easier. It is really easy to use and you can send emails with screenshots attached right from within the program. Very cool.
You can take multiple screenshots all at once and it can crop them down to any zoom you want (full screen, current application, etc.).
Some photos of a really nice place.
Some screen grabs from the King Kong trailer.
It’s warm up at the North Pole.
A random image and random url script from 1998 that still works.
Remember that guy who took photos with a camera hanging from his kite? Well, he’s been busy uploading photos to Flickr. Here’s another guy doing the same.
