Apple has an interesting page about creating special “Safari Bookmarks”:http://www.apple.com/applescript/safari/bookmarks.html in there “AppleScript Applications”:http://www.apple.com/applescript/apps/ area. ["via MacOS X Hints"://www.macosxhints.com]

bq. Safari’s robust JavaScript support and Mac OS X’s built-in URL architecture enable direct communication between Safari and other applications via special bookmarks. Using these special bookmarks you can select text on a webpage and use it to search the iTunes Music Store or a Sherlock web-service. The following examples can be copied and added to your Safari bookmark collection.

Cool info.

I just received my new “Booq PowerSleeve12″:http://www.booqbags.com/ps12.html and it’s really quite nifty. Rugged, durable and stylishly simple, it’s so much more satisfying to carry my “new little buddy”:http://www.apple.com/powerbook/index12.html around in than the original foam packing wrapper I was getting by with. And if the mood should strike me, the “PowerSleeve”:http://www.booqbags.com/ps12.html is small enough to fit inside a larger bag as well.

Now I need to go through the two bags I’ve been taking into work every day for the past couple years and see what I can eliminate.

And with a resounding thud my attempt to try out “AdSense”:http://google.com/adsense came to an end:

bq. Page type: Your website is a type of website that we do not currently accept into our program. Such websites include, but are not limited to, chat sites, personal pages, search engines, sites that contain predominately copyrighted material, and sites that drive traffic through cybersquatting.

Hmm… I guess that means that Google thinks I have too many journal type entries and not enough of the content they’re targeting. Oh well.

Actually, that does make me kind of curious to see just what kind of weblogs are getting accepted.

I applied for “Google’s AdSense”:http://www.google.com/adsense today just for fun. For those that aren’t already familiar with the service, AdSense is a nifty way to make a little money via targeted text advertisements and user click throughs. Quite a few webloggers out there have started getting on board and I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and see what happens. I don’t expect to generate much revenue as I don’t think I have very many regular readers, but I figure it’s an interesting experiment if nothing else.

I managed to damage the little toe on my right foot quite effectively yesterday morning when I stubbed it on part of a bird bath. Why there’s a disassembled bird bath being stored in our kitchen at the moment instead of out in our yard is a question best left for the chief landscaper in the house; conveniently she’s gone for most of the week.

The good news is that my toe actually doesn’t seem to be hurting as much as it did during the earlier parts of the day. The bad news is that my poor little toe looks a lot redder than it did midway through the day and the swelling seems to have increased. I would guess that it would hurt a lot more if it was actually broken, but I have no way of knowing without an x-ray.

My 10 day vacation is winding down and ironically enough, aside from work I shouldn’t be quite as busy since summer basketball has mostly wrapped up. Work will be fairly hectic though, but I’m looking forward to getting back in the swing of things.

I think I’ll make an effort to start posting a little more regularly again as well.
