Serence™ Klipfolio™ is a free information channel viewer that lets you view and manage Klip™ information channels right on your desktop.

We went on to discuss how happy we are that there are standards for 802.11b, allowing my 3Com wireless PCMCIA card to work with the Mac Airport that Cory set up at SXSW.

If you are using the first skin for this site, you can click the “Full Link List” link to see them all! (I’m still trying to decide if I want to implement the random list on the other skins. What do you think?)
