Webhosting
By rblprd | July 22, 2008
Seems I am in the market to change web hosts for my primary domain Rblprd.Com
Looking at using Powweb.com
will see how they stack up, hopefully they are faster then my current host (who has been slowing of late)
Couple others I have been looking at, but Powweb seems to offer a lot of click installable apps that I would be interested in using.

From the Hall: GmailThis!

This is probably one of the most used little hacks I have found on the net
From the Hall: GmailThis!

GmailThis!
What is GmailThis! ?
GmailThis! is an easy way to make a Gmail email without visiting mail.google.com. Once you add the GmailThis! link to your browser's toolbar, emailing will be a snap. Or rather, a click. Clicking GmailThis! creates a mini-interface to Gmail prepopulated with a link to the web page you are visiting, as well as any text you have highlighted on that page. Add additional text if you wish and then email or save as draft from within GmailThis!
Big, Important News! Recent changes in Gmail have broken GmailThis! in Safari and Firefox (and possibly more, those are all I've tested in). I updated the script, delete the old one and use this new link the same old way!

Newsweek Web Exclusive — Assaulted Batteries — Replacement Hybrid Battery Costs Plummet
By rblprd | June 8, 2008
For those unlucky few who have to replace their own batteries, the cost is coming down. On June 1 Honda is slashing the cost of its batteries from $3,400 (excluding installation) to as low as $1,968 on an Insight or as high as $2,440 on an Accord hybrid. Toyota also plans to substantially cut battery prices, which now stand at $3,000 (excluding installation), down from $5,500 on the original Prius. Both automakers attribute the price cuts to improved technology and lower production costs. But some analysts think Toyota and Honda are really trying to get ahead of consumer concerns about battery replacement. "PR is a very important factor in the hybrid market," says J.D. Power's Omotoso. "Honda and Toyota have the oldest hybrids on the road. And when a hybrid gets to be that old, you have to factor battery replacement costs into your purchase decision."
