AOL City Guide is now taking votes on your city’s best so, if you’re in, say, Atlanta, you can put in your vote for your favorite venues including the best coffee shop in town. Not to brag or anything but my brother’s shop (Joe’s East Atlanta) is currently in the lead (of course).
Since the winners will coincidentally be announced on my birthday now you don’t have to worry about what to get me.

Thanks to Jason and Kat.
Jack pointed me to Audio Scrobbler, a site that builds a profile of songs as you listen to them via a plugin available for various popular MP3 and CD players under windows, linux or mac. As as result you do nothing more than the usual: listen away at work, home, school, the wireless-enabled coffee shop | downtown | airport (gotta love Gainesville) while your friends - who’re always wanting something new to listen to - can easily keep up.
Handy guides for anyone wanting to tinker with CSS:
Not too long ago, Ishkur’s Music Guide romped the internet causing thousands of people to waste countless hours at work listening to all the wonderful samples and enjoying Ishkur’s description of each style of electronic music. Then, as luck would have it, the guide went down. Ishkur promised a new version would come soon and thus we waited and waited. Well, we wait no more.
To hell with all productivity: Ishkur’s Music Guide v2.0 is here.
I keep running into all kinds of goodies for the Mozilla browser:
Checky allows you to validate your web code for standards-compliance and a ton of other things you might need. All features are accessed via a context-sensitive menu.
Tabbed Browsing Extensions, for those who like Tabbed Browsing but wish it was a little more powerful. Allows you to duplicate, label, set auto-reload, reorder via drag-and-drop, create tab groupings, control image load | javascript | plugins | frames per tab. Extends the preferences dialog to customize all TB features.
Of course, there’s always DevEdge, providing the indispensable reference sidebars for developers.
Those of you concerned with Mozilla bloatness should check out Phoenix (aka Mozilla Freebird), a Mozilla clone with a simplified user interface and feature set. I actually like some of the extra goodies found in the stock Mozilla so I think I’ll be sticking with it for now.
I wish I had the time artistic inclination to build sites like the Zen Garden.
