Here's something I hadn't seen before in my Yahoo! Mail. I shipped a package USPS Priority Mail today and then emailed the Delivery Confirmation number to the recipient. I just checked my Sent email folder to see if the number had posted yet and much to my surprise Yahoo! is showing it as a Shortcut – no posting of URL necessary, wow!

Whole Foods Hummus, now $8.99/lb?

A few days ago, the Sebastopol Whole Foods raised their store-made hummus from $5.99 to $8.99 per pound, huh?

At $5.99/lb, their hummus was already the most expensive in the store, at $8.99/lb, count me out.

Facebook RSS feed import page

Something is messed up with Facebook and their import RSS feed. It just doesn't work. Instead of automatically updating, the only way I've found to get the thing to work is to manually reload the feed :-|

Google Chrome – Anymailer by william.estoque

Chrome has an extension called Anymailer by william.estoque which launches Yahoo! Mail (or GMail) when an email link is clicked. Unlike the setting for Firefox, this one actually works!
