I have just installed and activated a new WordPress plugin called Twitter Updater. Twitter Updater

automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.

Since I keep forgetting I have a Twitter account, I figured this would be an easy way to keep it updated.

I was going through Lifehacker and came across a post about an all-in-one IM app, called Digsby, that just added audio and video. I’ve been using all-in-one IM apps for a while now. I started with Trillian and recently switched over to Gaim/Pidgin. What I found lacking from the ones I used was audio and video chat capabilities. Trillian does have the ability to do video chats but you need to pay for the Pro version. I figure if Yahoo, MSN, and AOL aren’t going to charge users for video, why should I pay for an app that does? One of the nice things about Digsby, is that you log into the service instead of adding accounts to the program like you would with Trillian or Pidgin. This means you have access to your buddy lists from any computer Digsby is installed on. It reminds me of Meebo. Digsby can also track social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. I still have to figure out if the audio/video is only between Digsby users or if someone can be on Yahoo Instant Messenger and view/share video with someone on Digsby.

I’ve signed up for a service called Bebo. Bebo is another social networking site similar to MySpace and Facebook.

I’ve been thinking about getting a pair of Crocs for a while now. I printed out their sizing chart off the Internet but I was still unsure if it was correct, so I looked on their website for places near me that sold them. Today, I went to Efinger Sporting Goods in Bound Brook and they were having a winter clearance on Crocs. Luckily, I found a pair in the size that the chart said I was, and in a color I would actually wear. They were reasonably priced at $22.49 at the register. When I got home, I put them on and I was very surprised at how comfortable they are. I could see myself wearing them almost everywhere, especially with warming weather coming (thank God).

The NHL is trying to put together a deal that would have the New York Rangers playing a 2008-2009 regular season game at Yankee Stadium before it’s closed for good. They want the opponent to be one of the Original Six, which I think the only logical choice would be the Boston Bruins. They’re the closest of the other 5 cities where fans could easily come and watch a game. Personally, I would rather see them play the New Jersey Devils. I’m unsure how I feel about a sport other than baseball being played at Yankee Stadium but then again, the New York Giants football team played at Yankee Stadium from 1956-1973. Since it was before my time, I’m not used to anything other than baseball being played in the Bronx.

I came across an Amex commercial on YouTube with Tiger Woods. It’s an homage to the movie Caddyshack. I thought it was funny so I put a link to it below.
