Interesting Finds: July 11, 2008 - short edition

Had some time this morning before my flight, so I thought I would go through my unread messages and do a link blog in WLW (Windows Live Writer) ... which did save me some time.  Being able to drag a link from one screen onto WLW in the other screen was a bit faster than me doing the following:

  1. copy the title from google reader
  2. type '<a href="">'
  3. Paste the title
  4. type '</a>
  5. copy the link from google reader
  6. paste into href

With WLW it was just:

  1. drag title to WLW

... sometimes its the little things that help.  Thanks to Phil Haack for the suggestion.

2003? Did we just go back 5 years? I'd love to give back 5 years, 2003 was a good year for me! =D
