Welcome to my blog - a place where i post a lil bit of everything, mostly about nothing.

As I try to clean up the house I’ve noticed litter pebbles scattered throughout my living room which has led to me to look into a way to contain these little suckers.  After browsing around <a title="ikea hacker" href="http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com">ikeahacker.blogspot.com</a>, I’ve found a nifty little hack that I’ve modified to suit my own needs.  The original hack uses the Hol storage compartment as a feeding station, but I’ve decided to use it as the litter box. Woohoo, pebbles no more.</p>http://blog.rasterboy.com/post/977430082http://blog.rasterboy.com/post/977430082Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:56:00 -0400ikeahacklitterbox<p>After a quick 15 minutes setting up and playing around with the new digg, I can tell that I definitely won’t be missing the old version.  It helps digg feel more personal, providing news relevant to each user – custom tailored to their social graph and interests.

As all Panic apps tend to be, it looks great, the UI is smart, and using it is a pleasure. The best part is that the app handles every single aspect of news-grouping so you never have to jump back and forth between a browser or archive util. </p> <p><a title="Panic" href="http://www.panic.com">Visit Panic</a></p>http://blog.rasterboy.com/post/739958547http://blog.rasterboy.com/post/739958547Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:25:54 -0400panicapps
