Auto Expand Permanent Posts

If u have followed my javascript code for implementing an expand all, contract all feature on your blog then u may want to add this small piece of javascript that will auto-expand a post whenever a visitor clicks the permanent link on one of your posts.
Just add this code somewhere near the bottom of your blog template:

<script type="text/Javascript">
var pageURL = location.href;
if ( (pageURL.indexOf(".html")!=-1) && ( pageURL.indexOf("archive")==-1) ) {
    expandcollapseAll();
}
</script>

Prevent Social Network Lockin

Do u have an account at some social network and you have taken much time setting up your list of friends, their email address, phones, pictures, etc? For example, you have links and pictures of a bunch of friends at MSN Spaces. Now you would like to port all this data (and time/effort u put in) over to another social network like Friendster. How do u do this? There is a new company that will help u do this. Now u r no longer locked into one social network. If u don't like one, just move to another.

The Gizmo Show on CBS Radio

San Antonio, Texas, June 21, 2006 - The Gizmo Show, hosted by Richard Rodriguez, Sandy Levy, and Josh Schechter has arrived at KTSA and is
enjoying a warm welcome from the invention and entrepreneur
community. The Gizmo Show is the production of Gizmo Radio LLC.

Richard Rodriguez, a local inventor and entrepreneur who has found
success in the technology industries and an active member of the
inventing community in the state of Texas states, "This program was
designed to provide up to date information on the many aspects of
getting an inventors idea to market. By dispelling some of the myths,
and unveiling some of the pitfalls that inventors run into while
attempting to get their idea to market, we are able to assist so many
people in reaching the American dream."

While information is the root of The Gizmo Show's format;
entertainment is not spared. The show sails through an hour of
programming by inviting callers and guests to share their personal
triumphs and tribulations with the audience. For co-host and
producer, Sandy Levy this is the heart of the program. "Typically,
the most entertaining radio is found in sports, politics and
religion. We have found that the inventing and entrepreneur world is
just as passionate. Inevitably ALL inventors and entrepreneurs share
the same amount of passion about their gadgets and ventures as any
sports fan, political pundit or preacher. It's just good radio."

Presently, the program offers full segments from professionals that
are proficient in legal, accounting, marketing and funding
fields. "The Gizmo Show is clearly an interactive experience which
the inventor-entrepreneur can call in and immediately find direction
for their business needs," states local entrepreneur and businessman
Josh Schechter.

Join the fun on Sunday nights, starting July 2, 2006 from 7-8pm (CST) live on CBS station KTSA 550 AM and internet streamed at URL http://www.ktsa.com.

Cutting Edge Maps

If u r wondering about the latest map mashups and upcoming concepts read Wired's review of the Where 2.0 Conference.
Wired's review
For example, in the future u will point your camera phone at real world places/objects and on the screen u will have links overlayed on top of the image that provide info such as user comments, restaurant menus, historical data, etc. In other words, your GPS-enabled phone knows where u r at every moment. Now point your phone at some building like u r going to take its picture. On the screen u see the building and will also be seeing links overlayed on top for additional info.

Show The World Your Purchases

I think this is a significant concept that is bound for greatness. Eventually every online store will offer its clients the ability to show the world what they've purchased. This would be a hit at online stores that allow you to customize your product; upon purchasing you could show the world your unique product(s). The first generic service that can plug into any online shopping cart and provide this kind of functionality will make millions. I am already preparing my own website that can take advantage of such a service. I just hope it will be available before I make my online store live.
