I am answering out of ignorance with this : <a href="http://www.dingitsup.com/">Ding It’s Up</a> is the greatest invention ever.<br /> <div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 122px"><p class="wp-caption-text">Ding It's Up</p></div></p> <p>How do you know you are a ding-damsel? Here is a typical scenario –too typical: You need to register for classes, but, oh –look at that– UT’s Web server is too busy; The site has crashed. And you, pulling on the bottom lids of your eyes, scream and fear that the worst will happen: you won’t get in to any of your classes unless you just sit there like a champ and keep hitting refresh. </p> <p>Ding alerts you when those pesky sites go back up. That’s right. No phenomenal refresh-speed needed. The service notifies you through e-mail, text, or Twitter. </p> <p>It solves the most frustrating Internet habit of all time. I’d like to see the wheel try that.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=7gcprvWFlww:HGVHv5biSUw:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=7gcprvWFlww:HGVHv5biSUw:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=7gcprvWFlww:HGVHv5biSUw:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=7gcprvWFlww:HGVHv5biSUw:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=7gcprvWFlww:HGVHv5biSUw:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Sling takes a shot at Hulu</h1> <p>2008-11-26T23:44:04Z</p> <p>You know <a href="http://hulu.com">Hulu</a>– He is that popular guy who walks around in his letterman jacket at all the parties. All of the pretty girls in school like him, but he’s too busy playing football and getting straight A’s to care about commitment. He’d rather kick back with a beer. </p> <p>Until Sling came into town. She was sooo sexy. Sling, like Hulu, offered streaming TV shows and movies, but was still in her beta phase– a little bit younger and immature, but enticing nonetheless. </p> <p>Too bad for Hulu though, cause Sling is a feminist who wants female equality, and sometimes, female superiority. She will stop at nothing to be better, cooler, and more popular than Hulu.<br /> <div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><p class="wp-caption-text">Screenshot of Sling.com</p></div></p> <p>If you want real information on <a href="http://sling.com">Sling.com</a>, you should probably read <a href="http://techcrunch.com">TechCrunch</a>.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=NNd30ife33Q:Ng5Sew9T-Po:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=NNd30ife33Q:Ng5Sew9T-Po:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=NNd30ife33Q:Ng5Sew9T-Po:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=NNd30ife33Q:Ng5Sew9T-Po:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=NNd30ife33Q:Ng5Sew9T-Po:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Moleskine madness</h1> <p>2008-11-24T19:58:42Z</p> <p>I have made a post about Moleskine journals before, and how dare you think it would be my last on the topic.</p> <p><div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 229px"><p class="wp-caption-text">'skine.art</p></div></p> <p><a href="http://www.skineart.com/">’skine.art</a> is a Web gallery of art done in the ever-holy Moleskine journal. </p> <p>I have some I did myself, but I did them in Amsterdam, so instead of scanning them and placing them in this post, I would like to get a job some day.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=f122j7EccXE:2Kx9P42KxKg:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=f122j7EccXE:2Kx9P42KxKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=f122j7EccXE:2Kx9P42KxKg:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=f122j7EccXE:2Kx9P42KxKg:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/thedailytexanblogs/dotcomplimentary?a=f122j7EccXE:2Kx9P42KxKg:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>YouTube + Monty Python= a reason for YouTube</h1> <p>2008-11-19T23:55:24Z</p> <p>Monty Python has a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/MontyPython">YouTube channel</a>.
