Need a logo or button for your blog or site and don’t know where to begin?
You could do worse than checking out cooltext.com. It’s easy and you can come up with something quite nice. Looks like it’s powered by Gimp, if you rather have a standalone program. It’s free.

Swjeet, Google came up with a new interesting gmail feature allowing you to “Be on time. Every time.”

Wondering why I saw less and less gravatars in the comments here (including my own) I logged on at their site and surprise surprise, no pictures. Both avatars I uploaded before are gone. So yeah, no wonder they don’t show up. If you’ve been wondering why yours are missing you might want to check as well. Make sure to log on with your email address in lower case and use your email address in lower case for comments around the web as well, that seems to be one reason for glitches. Apparently the whole gravatar site code was recently switched from ruby on rails to php so maybe something went wrong during that process. At any rate, try again… again.
Flickrvision, best timesink ever! Watch Flickr images get uploaded live and pointed out on a map. One could watch this for hours on end.

We of Automattic recommend Akismet, by Automattic.
Wow, that’s such a pro tip.

Wow, I somehow totally missed this. Upgrade time!
But first I’ll have a look around and see what themes have been created for it over the past couple of months.
