This week, I’ve tried to use a new system to put together the links; there are less than normal because I haven’t had much time to go around and read many posts this week.

Posts I liked -

Fancy a go at chess? Club Troppo have a very difficult query for you.
Apparently there was a storm in the Black Sea. English Russia has some HDR-processed pictures of the storm. They’re some fantastic work.
I found this on another blog that I read; these are the 50 most bizarre city names in the world.
Only Lucky fruit wind up in Ski Yogurt - at least according to the commercials
Want to use a Mac, but can’t afford the full price of a new one? Lifehacker shows you how to build a “Hackintosh” for around $800
Looking for more monetization options for your blog? E-moms has 9 new companies that were at BlogWorld Expo

New blogs this week in the US Blogs community at BumpZEE -

Keywords -

do i dress like an old man - I don’t know, and something tells me I don’t want to know!
edwyn versace - Who?

This week around the blog, I talked about another element of HTML - Fonts, and Snos talked about one of the basics of HTML - the Horizontal Rule.

I also discussed moving your feeds from Google Reader to Bloglines - by the way, I just found out that Bloglines beta has a feature that replicates the “Google Preview Enhanced” Greasemonkey script, which I think is sweet.

I showed off some more of my world in pictures - there’s a post coming up in a couple of weeks with more pictures; I’ll link to it when it’s posted

I weighed in on the recent actions of Google, and said that I’m not going to fully boycott them, but use this as an opportunity to diversify where I get my information from.

That ties neatly into what I’m going to be talking about in the Tuesday Think Tank - how to use alternative search engines in Firefox. It involves something I whined about before upgrading to version 2.0, but the reality is that the new version makes it a lot easier to add search engines. You’ll see how tomorrow.

‘Til next week y’all!

By the way, if you’ve commented over the last couple of weeks, I did a lot of replying to comments last night, so be sure to check that out if you weren’t subscribed to the posts
