iFilm.com has all the SuperBowl commercials online. I recorded the game on ReplayTV and need to go back and catch all the commercials. (Maybe even watch some of the game, painful as that may be.) [via Russell Beattie]... (more)

Well, we had a GREAT weekend at the Super Bowl. (Right until kickoff at least.) It was disappointing to see such a lackluster effort by the Raiders, but it was still a fantastic weekend.... (more)
"The autumn wind is a Raider"...thoughts about this most excellent theme song. (more)
Russell Beattie's Moblogger is a client-side Java application that grabs email messages sent to a special account and posts them to your weblog (as long as it supports the Blogger API which most do). He also handles media attachments (pictures, sound, video), which opens up cool possibilities if you have a multi-media phone that can send e-mail. I think he's... (more)
Stickies for Windows looks pretty cool. If nothing else, it's a good excuse to finally download the .Net framework and starting playing with it. It's written in C# and is open source. Found this via Larkware which is a good source of various software goodies.... (more)
In addition to all the websites that provide RSS feeds (which I read with my headline mailer), there are a few periodic newsletters that are worth reading: "Crypto-Gram is a free monthly e-mail newsletter on computer security and cryptography from Bruce Schneier (author of Secrets and Lies and Applied Cryptography, inventor of Blowfish and Twofish, CTO and founder of Counterpane...

Amazon.com has a (limited) selection of free songs for download in MP3 or Liquid Audio format. (more)
It looks like my list of PDA optimized (or PDA friendly) web sites is becoming quite popular and is now the most-requested page from this site. Thanks to some mentions on Palm, Treo, and Sony discussion groups, a lot of people seem to have found it. I'm also the number one hit for "PDA Optimized" on Google which is kind... (more)
The GeoURL project is building a database of websites and their geographical coordinates. There is an interactive map and a "neighbors" feature that will show you web sites close (physically) to you. GeoURL is a location-to-URL reverse directory. This will allow you to find URLs by their proximity to a given location. Find your neighbor's blog, perhaps, or the web... (more)
Last week I added a green "sub" icon in addition to the usual orange "xml" representation for this site's RSS feed. The green sub links to the Syndication Subscription Service which reads the RSS file and displays a set of links to add this channel to various news aggregators. Try it now with this site's RSS feed: Cantoni.org RSS feed... (more)
Phil Gyford wrote a great summary of weblog terms that many weblog authors probably take for granted but may be confusing for new readers. (more)
I just rediscovered a handy feature of Yahoo: its online address book. I use Yahoo for a free email account, but haven't used many of their other online PIM features (calendar, address book, note pad, etc.). Instead, I sync my Palm handheld to Palm Desktop (Address, To Do, Memo, etc.) and Outlook (Calendar). Syncing with Yahoo is pretty straighforward, but... (more)
Having recently moved from CityDesk to Movable Type, I captured some notes on the technique I used to move my weblog entries over. (more)

The kids really scored this year when Santa brought a GameCube. (I'm not complaining, of course.) Our game collection probably won't grow too big, but we're starting out with a pretty good set of games: Super Monkey Ball Super Mario Sunshine Monsters, Inc. Scream Arena Pikmin Rocket Power: Beach Bandits (Nickelodeon) Wave Race: Blue Storm (jetski racing) Beach Spikers (volleyball)... (more)
Having recently moved to a new web and email hosting company (Pair.com), I just set up a secure SSH tunnel for checking my email with Outlook Express. (more)
