Delicious.

My first reaction to del.icio.us (dang it! that was a really cool name; apparently now it’s just “delicious.com”) was, who needs this? I can just bookmark sites in my browser along with the forty-two thousand other sites I have saved that I never look at…

But it wasn’t long before I signed up and saved everything to del.icio.us instead of to my bloated bookmarks bar, because using tags and being able to get to your links from anywhere is a good thing. The problem is that now, as with my browser-embedded bookmarks, I hardly ever look at the 43 pages of my del.icio.us bookmarks. My goal over the next few weeks is to dig up some of those links — mainly related to designing and writing, but with some other things thrown in — and share them with you here. Because I am feeling totally random right now, I am going to pick some random things for today’s postings:
 
Chief Happiness Officer — a blog about being happy while you’re at work. There was a really great suggestion a while back about holding a Ninja Day and having everyone show up for work dressed in black. I really wanted to try that at the restaurant I used to work at. (Well, we did wear all black, but we didn’t have swords or get to fight the customers.)

I Park Like an Idiot — how much fun would it be to go around sticking these bumper stickers on stupidly parked cars? I wish someone would pay me to do this.

Help for Writer’s Block — we all know who needs this one…

Running from Camera — you set the self-timer and run. And hope no one steals your camera in the middle of said run.
