iSawToday – The Coolest Thing I Saw Today on the Web

I was discussing Neil Patrick Harris this morning and the topic of his Dr. Horrible Musical came up.  I got to thinking that I never added this to Isawtoday and felt it deserved even a latent inclusion.

Has anyone done a mini-musical like this before?  This is fantastic!

Many of you may have noticed that there was a significant gap in activity from May through August.  During this time I took a trip to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and safari out in the Ngorongoro crater.  I live blogged much of my climb to my kilimanjaro climb blog at www.andyonthemountain.com.  Since being back I’ve finally organized the trip and plugged in some amazing videos and pictures of the experience.  Also, I can’t say enough about the outfitter that I chose for my Kilimanjaro Climb . Erika and Lema from Serengeti Pride Safaris were amazing and made this 21 day trip awesome!

Now back to finding cool things to share with you all!

I took the plunge and installed Windows 7 Ultimate RTM from MSDN last week.  For the most part I’m loving the new OS aside from Outlook 2007hanging occassionally and my sound dying after hibernation.  One annoyance that remains is that Windows enjoys rebooting after installing updates which for someone like me who rarely ever shuts down his computer is not a good thing.  So here is a modified version of a registry hack for xp and vista to prevent Windows update from rebooting your computer.

1. Press Windows Key and type regedit to launch the registry editor.

2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Polices\Microsoft\Windows

3. In Windows 7 you will need to right click on the Windows folder and choose New -> Key

4. Name it WindowsUpdate

5. Now right-click on your newly created WindowsUpdate key and  choose new key again.

6. Name this new key AU

7. Look to the right-hand side of the registry editor and right-click and choose New-> 32bit Dword and name it NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers

8. Right-click on this new value and choose Modify, set the value to 1 and you’re all set!

I was reading through LinkedIn this morning and saw the following post:Is technology killing chivarlry?

A great commentary as I’m into the whole Fred Astaire, Jimmy Stewart style of being these days.

Over the past couple years I’ve created hundreds of website comps using my trusty Macromedia Fireworks 8 software.  I always take my comps and manually create layouts for the various platforms I’m designing on: Wordpress, Joomla, Expression Engine in Dreamweaver and away we go.  I’ve tried using Rentacoder’s before and typically get what I pay for, but I’m curious about a new service I found called http://xhtml.pixelcrayons.com/ for a flat fee they promise validated, CSS layouts in straight html or in Joomla or Wordpress format.  Has anyone out there used this or another similar service?  Comments?

My friend Bill sent this this me yesterday afternoon and enjoyed wasting a few minutes playing the demo.  Really, Really, Fun!

I’m pleased to announce the official launch of the world’s largest recipe search engine; www.recipebridge.com

Please feel free to send me any feedback on the site that you may have or partnership inquires for that matter.  In all I hope that this site helps other people quickly and easily use the Internet to find great recipes!

Every morning I wake up to the local AM morning show. During this morning’s conversation they played a sound-clip I haven’t heard in a very long time. A quick Google query served up just the clip I needed to calm a mysterious fix from years gone by….

Halloween 2009….
