Yahoo! Search Builder
Want to add a search feature to your website or blog? Then give Yahoo! Search Builder a look. As a member of Yahoo!, you can customize your own search function, allowing visitors to search the web, your site, or Yahoo! news.
I’ve only spent all of 10 minutes playing around with Search Builder, and it looks promising. In my short encounter, I did define a search function, customized it, and added it to Blogger. But… I couldn’t get the search box to fit my Blogger template. Yahoo! Search Builder requires a minimum size of 300 pixels, and I guess my sidebar is smaller than that. For now, I’ll stick with Technorati’s embedded search function that works well enough.

Flying Must Suck Now
Not trying to make light of the airlines terrorist plot in London, but the aftermath must make flying a terrible experience. No liquids allowed as carry on items, and no electronic devices like laptops, cell phones, and Zunes iPods either. Now I hear no books or magazines are allowed.
I can’t imagine a trans-Atlantic flight for what, 8-10 hours without anything to drink or anything to entertain yourself with (other than the measly offerings of the airlines. Do they still make you pay for food and drinks now?). The last flight I was on had no magazines other than the airlines own publication.
Man, oh man, what a flight. Might as well bring a potato head on board and try to keep entertained.
Robin Williams is an Alcoholic?
Seems like Robin Williams is getting help treating his second bout of alcoholism. I’m glad he’s proactively seeking treatment.
I never knew he was an alcoholic, but from his strange and zany antics, I had my suspicions he had “some assistance.”
Gone, Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
It was fun while it lasted, but the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs blog is no more. All previous humorous posts have been removed, and everything’s been wiped clean. There were several funny posts based on real world Apple news which add a hint of possible realism to the posts.
Apple lawyers probably started their legal attack, shutting down the blog. Oh well, it was fun.

Nike+ Sports Kit Hack
So Nike wants you to buy a new pair of Nike+ running shoes that has a hollow space for the Nike+ Sports Kit sensor. These shoes cost around $100, but now third party companies are coming to the rescue with their own solutions. Take Marware’s Sportsuit Sensor+. This little velcro strap do-hickey wraps around the shoelaces of any shoe and holds the Nike+ sensor. Cost is $10.
I already got shoes. I can handle the $10 cost of the Sensor+. Now how to handle the cost of an iPod Nano? C’mon Google Adsense!
