Digsby is Delicious

I found a really cool new combo Instant Message + Email alerts + Social Networking doohickey. It's called Digsby.
It sort of merges all your different web personalities and lets you monitor multiple IM clients at once. It will even send you tiny messages when someone contacts you on Facebook or MySpace. The client is very new and still under construction, but if you have a chance, check it out.

The coolest thing is that it lets you build a little flash application, which you can post on your blog or website, that lets people chat with you in real time as long as you are online. Pretty NEAT if you ask me.





As you can see, since I embedded one in the left column, and I also added this one here in the main post, you can make them different sizes, colors etc. I added this big one to my website too.

I'm not much of a social networking junkie, but as I was just typing this, a tiny, unobtrusive message just came up from my Digsby, telling me that one of my friends just updated their status on Facebook to "fighting off a cold".

Children are Scary

So the recent story here about a horde of evil 9 year olds planning a master scheme to tie up and hurt their elementary school teacher, has led me to question how long I would last in a Children-Of-The-Corn type scenario.

Apparently I could only take 20 of the little buggers. I blame my short stature and stumpy arms.

20

I did, however, answer that I would be willing to pick up and use one small child as a bludgeoning weapon against the advancing mob. I think that raised my score.

I couldn't find any web quizzes (with sufficiently accurate results) where the children are also zombies.
