Chris Bray has created a very useful page with manual bookmarklets for all the major sites, including Tumblr, Facebook, Google Reader and more. I’ve created this one for myself, for a Pinterest bookmarklet.

Instructions:
From Chris Bray:

1. Add this page as a bookmark
2. Select and copy the Javascript below to your clipboard.
3. Go to your bookmarks and edit the new bookmark. Edit the name and paste the Javascript in the field for the URL.
4. Done.

For more detailed instructions, check out Marco Arment’s step by step guide for adding the Instapaper bookmarklet to Safari for an iPhone, iPad, or an iPod Touch. You can use the same method here.

Here’s a big image you can test your new bookmarklet with:

I can’t imagine this can break your iPad, but use at your own risk.

Why doesn’t YouTube allow uploaders to enter in the video copyright holder and enter in the audio copyright holder? Then those copyright holders could be notified and approve or disapprove the use of their material. If they approve, they get a portion of the Google ads proceeds from the video or can place in their own ad eg “buy this video here” or “watch more of this here”.

YouTube sort of does this by automagically detecting songs and putting in the iTunes link (I was quite impressed that it correctly identified my soundtrack) but why not give the uploaders the opportunity to do the right thing and the copyright owners the chance to make some money and promote their products in new ways?

Just a thought… and now the cheesy video!

The theme is called Seven Five and you can get it for free from Press75, along with a heap of fabulous premium themes. Thanks to Jason for such an awesome concept!

Caveats – my Lifestream page still needs a lot of tweaking, I want to add quite a few more widgets to the home page and I can’t quite work out how to add Previous and Next buttons to the blog post listings. But apart from that: AWESOME, right?

Okay, I’m saying awesome too much. Shutting up now.

Anyway it’s a good chance to try out some of the WordPress 3.0 features.

Weirdness!

Here’s the podcast in question:

Lessons Harry has learned from this video:

- “My boobs are jealous of my butt” is the most hilarious phrase ever uttered and should be repeated at 5 minute intervals throughout the day. Or “Stupid butt!” is an acceptable alternative.
- Calling someone a “super hot sex babe” is also very funny
- Husbands are idiots
- The “digestive system” is something to be feared, especially when lying in your bed late at night, as it may crawl in and attack you at any moment with lightning bolts

Yet another reason you shouldn’t let your 6 year old near your iPhone.

I think I swing between Nerd and Geek depending on how shy I’m feeling that day.

PS Spotted this at the excellent feminist science blog, Vagina Dentata. Check it out.

Here’s the lucky lesbians of the days so far:

Maybe a “new era” is a little strong, but I am trying out a new service called Posterous (http://posterous.com/). It basically posts anything that you email to it – text, music, photos and video. And then automagically updates this WordPress installation with it. We’ll see how it goes!

Also I have installed a great new theme that is a bit more in keeping with my current style of blogging: NOT blogging but updating Twitter and Facebook a lot. It is an awesome free predesigned theme from WooThemes – thanks guys! You can see it and more here: http://www.woothemes.com/2009/02/irresistible/.

Hopefully with Posterous and this new theme, this website will become less of a total embarrassment and easier for me to maintain. Thanks for sticking around!
