Anyone know of a hack/trick that will force Sage (an extension for Firefox that integrates an RSS Reader into the browser) to always open items (either direct links to an article or all of the articles for a specified feed) in one specific tab?

I know you can do [...]

Things that weird me out about having to use a key to unlock the bathroom door at an office:

Where are most people keeping that key as they are “going”? Is the receptionist keeping tabs as to how often I’m going? Better yet, is she keeping track of how long I’ve been gone? :)

We have a bird who has decided to build a nest and lay it’s eggs inside the exhaust duct from our oven’s vent hood. I did not invite them there and am willing to do anything to get them out.

The duct on the side of our house is too tall to reach [...]

Tom started doing something very interesting this past weekend that he learned from Sean Bonner.

dad

He might be right about “having way too much music”, but come on… It’s cool! :)

Tons of cool stuff announced today at MacWorld San Francisco, but the highlights are easily the Mac mini and the iPod Shuffle.

First off, the Mac mini is just sweet. I talked about it yesterday and it’s as cool as I imagine/speculated it to be. It ships in a box smaller than what an [...]

Everyone has been talking/speculating about the rumored “display-less iMac” that is to be targeted towards all those Windows-using iPod owners. I think it could be something really cool and have the same positive effect that the iPod has had on Apple as a company.

Robert Cringely thinks so as well in his predictions for 2005:
