@JJV5819: Ya, I've got a lot of friends with them, just can't get past the "they look ridiculous" aspect, and wouldn't give me the satisfaction of feeling dirt and gravel in between my toes.

@Zinger314: Great, now you tell me

Great list! I've got an old dell in the garage, a dead macbook, and some time to kill.

Boxee Box!

Can't wait to read more from this "D is for Design" series, great article Sam.

This is the second embedded Viddler video today that's been rendered "unavailable". Maybe we should check out some sort of more reliable video platform to work with?

@the awesome: If you're at all interested, I'd recommend checking it out earlier rather than later... don't want somebody else taking your name.

"if you find yourself commonly searching Lifehacker it's a good search to set up."

I don't know how I would do work in one spot all day. Being able to dock my laptop to some big ass monitors on my desk is great when screen real estate is a priority, but there's nothing like a change in scenery to get over some mental hurdles.

@Marand: I honestly don't know how I never thought of this, thanks! I already compartmentalize my different online identities, why not set up a dedicated log-in when I need to get some serious work done?

What am I missing? Anybody else seeing "Video Not Available"?

Why go see this on a wall when I just have to boot up my old Windows ME machine?

These look great! I love rock climbing barefoot on problems that don't need an aggressive shoe, but sometimes I just want a big toe sticker!

about.me looks nice, and I love having a link to mine in my email signatures.

@Agrippa: considering it just came out of beta, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these things get updated soon, especially since this seems to be a pretty common complaint.

@ttringle: Thanks for the info, I saw the article the other day, and subsequently checked out Subsonic, but in the midst of finals didn't have time to set it up, I'll definitely take another look, and check out Slimserver as well.

@A7: You sure know how to make me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Thanks for sharing.

@Stem_Sell: Beautiful.
