Just installed the Yahoo! Shortcuts plugin for Wordpress. Thought I’d give it a test post.

Let’s see…

I first read about Yahoo! Shortcuts while reading a co-workers del.icio.us feed in my Google Reader on my Cingular 3125 smartphone while sitting in my cheap Ikea chair in my apartment in Brooklyn, NY.

While the plugin downloaded I started watching/listening to a Google engEDU Tech Talk on YouTube. After downloading I uploaded the plugin to my site server while enjoying the cool refreshing taste of my 23.5 fluid oz can of Arizona Iced Tea (with lemon flavor) that I picked up from my local bodega for a smashing low price of 99 cents.

I decided to write this test post while letting Geoffrey Hinton’s tech talk continue running in a separate FireFox browser window on my Dell Latitude D410 laptop. Technically it’s not my laptop as The New York Times provided it for me so I probably shouldn’t use it for non-work related things like Facebook, YouTube, Google Reader, Live Messenger, Twitter, etc etc.

So what do you think? Has this post, which started as just text written by myself, Nick Thuesen, been enhanced by Yahoo! Shortcuts?

What! No shortcut magic for my name! The nerve!

Updated: This looks totally different in Google Reader, so make sure you click through to the site for the full experience. And lastly…is that map above showing Brooklyn, NY closer to Buffalo than Manhattan? My morning commute is going to be a killer.

So I’ve recently drifted away from wpf development. As a result, I’ve had nothing for my blog. This does give me a chance to clean house a bit though. I went through all my old blogs as well as this one and choose what I felt were the more interesting posts. (Not surprisingly, the number was small.) I created a link on the left hand side (WPF TOC) which points to a page where I’ve collected these posts. So essentially I’ve taken a page from sitcom tv and created a “best of” post. A new low, I know…but it’s ok, I hit new lows almost daily.
