Have you ever opened up your Twitter only to see that someone has posted 20 things in the last 5 minutes? It’s really annoying! Well, now you can choose to “snooze” someone if they do that. With TwitterSnooze!, you can sort of “block” someone temporarily from having their Tweetsa show up in your Twitter feed.

Say for example, I was at a conference and I was Twittering every update. If you could care less about that, you could snooze me for “X” amount of days. After that time had passed, my tweets would resume showing up in your Twitter feed.

The only thing is that once the snooze time expires, I think the person you snoozed gets an email saying that you are following them again. But other than that, it looks pretty cool.

Here is a great article on how to choose more secure passwords for all of the websites you visit. If you are anything like me, you could probably use a boost in your security. Maybe I should stop using “1 2 3 4 5″ as my password for everything.

Anyways, here is a clip from the article on choosing the “base” part of the password:

The first letter of a phrase or song refrain. For example, if you wanted to use the famous Jackson 5 song “I Want You Back”, your base password might be “IWUB.” Remembering the password is a matter of singing yourself the song.

So once you have that, you can customize it with other info.  For example, if you used “IWUB” as the base, you could take the 1st three letters of the name of the website you had a password on.  So for amazon.com, your password there could be IWUBAMA.  Get it?

That’s just one idea of many.  For the rest, go read the article.

If you look on the comment part of each post, you will now see a link to leave a video comment.  You can do it anonymously if you want.  All you need is a webcam on your computer.  Who wants to be the first to try?

If you are like me, you have several Social Networks you are a part of. I am active on Pownce, Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace (sometimes). Updating all of those can be a chore sometimes, so any help in making that easier is very welcomed.

Enter Ping.fm . Once you sign up with them, you can associate almost every social network out there to it. With one swoop, you can post updates to all of them, or each one individually. Right now they are in beta, and you need a code, but if you want one, let me know. I have TONS to give out!

I signed onto AIM the other day for the first time in a while.  I think I am going to start signing on a lot more to keep in touch with friends.  So, that being said, feel free to add me as a buddy.  My screen name is ohhhhlookatme.  Add me, and let’s chat!

In honor of April Fool’s Day, make sure you check out Lifehacker’s Top 10 Harmless Geek Pranks. I have done a few of these, and they are great.  For example, this one is one of the best:

9. Fake a Desktop with Screenshot Wallpaper

Freak out your co-worker or family member by faking out their Windows desktop with an unclickable facade: Take a screenshot of their current desktop, then set it as the desktop wallpaper. Hide the actual taskbar and disable desktop icons (right-click the desktop and choose “Arrange Icons By” and uncheck “Show Desktop Icons.”) When your victim returns to the computer, watch the futile clicking begin.

Have you ever heard of Twitter? Twitter is an awesome, slightly addictive website/service that I really think you need to get into. Here is a GREAT description:

So basically, you just post what you are doing. It sounds a little weird, but once you get some people on there, it gets fun. So go sign up. It’s free!

A few days late…  Make sure you go to PostSecret to see all of them.

Almost EVERY coffee shop you go to these days that is not called “Starbucks” offers free internet to anyone who comes in.  It is sort of the standard.  Why is it that Starbucks, easily the largest chain of coffee shops, charges for internet?  Sure, now if you are an AT&T customer, it will be free for you, but big deal.  Make it free like everyone else!
