Normally I would add this to my del.icio.us links, but I want to remember to install it within the next day or two – Google Pack. Free. Full of good things. Check it out! [via Jarkolicious.]

Cutting Edge Knitting…
I’ve decided to finally try listening to Podcasts. I tried before, as I drove to Austin for SxSW last year, but I just couldn’t get into them. I have problems with listening without something to look at – I can’t listen to sports, talk radio is hard for me to follow, and so forth. But I keep seeing mentions of the knitting podcasts, and well – I love anything that has to do with knitting these days! So I set up iTunes on the revamped laptop and Mike taught me how to subscribe to podcasts. Now I’m all set – I have subscriptions to KnitCast, Cast-On, Knitting News Cast and FiberCast. I can knit and listen and learn – all at once! Whee!
I just sent this on to the Akismet team, but wanted to post it here also in case anyone had advice for me. (Also, if you know of any really cool, must have WP 2.0 plugins, feel free to let me know. I *heart* plugins.)
When I log into review the “Caught Spam” I get conflicting numbers. I just installed it last night. First, at the top, it reads, “Akismet has caught 37 for you since you installed it.”
37. Great. Perfect.
Then just below (in the same box), it reads, “There are currently 16 comments identified as spam.” Ok, 16 … what happened to 37? Or are duplicates not counted?
Then, just below that, there are only 9 comments displayed for me to review. Not 37 or even 16. Just 9.
I’m so confused.
Any thoughts?

So Perfectly Tiny…
After seeing the iPod Nano the other day and reading Derek’s post about it, I wondered how long it would take for there to be a “get this for free” site to sign up for one. Kymberlie told me about it last night, and I signed up today! You can sign up too and get your very own iPod Nano just for refering your friends!
I’ve read sites that claim this is a scam. No, it isn’t. It is however something that you’ll have to ask your friends to sign up for. It does work – I can show you my 60gb Photo iPod if you would like to check it out. Just remember the important rule – only one per household. They will check. And they watch IP addresses. (It isn’t good to have a family member with the same name in the same town, etc. sign up. Sometimes even if they are in a different town, they will question it.)
Come on, you know you want the iPod Nano. It’s wonderfully miniscule. So magnificently dainty… Sign up!
