Dairies Strive To Go Green: Turning Waste To Watts : NPR Whoa, that idea was old back in the Sixties in the old BBC comedy "The Good Life/Good Neighbors." Tom the suburban self-sufficiency farmer had a smelly digester in the basement, which made for great comedy whenever it broke down or the prissy neighbor lady had to deal with it. (tags: NPR Green BBC) Without Bush 'millstone,' GOP can mount comeback, leader says – CNN.com I can't believe McConnell said that Bush was a millstone around the neck of the GOP in 2008 AND in 2006. Because that's admitting that…

Install Bookmarklets on Delicious Ironically, used my new WP bookmarklet to grab this link. It’s now delicious.com, the design is even cleaner, and soon will be able to do those linkroll posts again.

delicious blog » using delicious on your iphone. Used to use del.icio.us more when I could use my work computer to read news and websites, fell out of the habit post-iPhone. Checked for a bookmarklet rather than an app and found this awesome! FAIL of an official blogpost demonstrating how to add a del.icio.us bookmarklet to iPhone in a video not viewable on the iPhone. All the most useful info is provided by commenters. To their credit, d.i.u. staffers kept reading and responding. I’ll try the bookmark method at home tonight.

Zion senior prank pokes fun at school — chicagotribune.com “Stick a fork in it, we’re done” and the school lawn got aerated, too. This is yet another test, but this bookmarklet invoked an older plugin, WPhone, that formats the blog for mobile phones. And has a clunky interface with no visual/HTML buttons. Sigh.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Pope ‘distorting condom science’. Wow, this story reads like Science taking on Faith in some kind of jousting match with the Lancet literally taking point. This is another test, this time of the current “Press it!” bookmarklet from the iPhone. It brought the link into the post just fine, but the keyboard doesn’t engage. Meanwhile, it works in the HTML edit screen, but the category list has no way to scroll down, and it’s cut off after the first few categories. More tinkering is called for. Meanwhile, this all-too fallible Pope had better stick to…

With deals in bloom, spring could be lively time for flights to Europe – USATODAY.com This is a test of an old Blog This! bookmarklet that brought this link into a barebones posting form. It dates from a year or more ago and was lurking in the bookmarks section of the copy of Safari. Needs work to resize or perhaps add the Minipost plugin checkbox.

As seen at Pam’s House Blend:: The American Family Association has nothing better to do than harrass Pepsico: Here’s four good reasons I’m going to buy more Pepsi products… no, make that five good reasons. Pepsi gave a total of $1,000,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) to promote the homosexual lifestyle in the workplace. Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat Proposition 8 which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. HRC, which received $500,000 from Pepsi, gave $2.3 million to defeat Proposition…

This cartoon via Salon by Keith Knight covers all the essential points about what makes Utah (specifically Salt Lake) “Funique.” Weird liquor laws (which are going away July 1), extremely rowdy, drunk crowds in bars due to either weird liquor laws or everybody acting out to spite the Majority Religion, and FRY SAUCE! Some long-delayed props to Salt Lake by the K Chronicles.

One of the few things holding me back from blogging links more often is that I’m limited to using the iPhone during work hours, and there didn’t seem to be a way to easily blog a link to a web page without a huge amount of tedium. That is, until I realized that Twittelator Pro used javascript in a bookmark to set up a link for easy Tweeting… and I remembered the WordPress 2.7 Press It! bookmarklet also uses javascript to grab a URL, page title, and text, and then it sets up a new post with the link all…
