The Internet is Blowing Up My Head

I honestly don't spend a lot of time online. Ironically, I don't have regular access at my day job, and when I get home, I've got plenty of other things I want to do more than stare at another screen. But as a result, I tend to forget just how much cool stuff is out there.

In fifteen minutes last night, I downloaded a supremely useful tool for compiling and browsing online news articles, sampled an innovative drag-and-drop desktop interface, and discovered a clever application that uses Trackback (itself a clever peer-to-peer communications framework that allows a preview of your latest entry on your weblog to be automatically posted to other sites) and RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to search through other weblogs for similar entries to what you just posted.

Then, when I was in the middle of compiling a clever post about it all, my browser crashed.

It works like that sometimes.
