Happy Earth Day! What are some of your favorite ways to reduce, reuse and recycle?
I try to do my part by car pooling a lot. It also helps that I work from home and live downtown. This way I only use my car when I have to. This means I don't only reduce my carbon emission, but I also save on the mileage and gas dough :)

When do you file your taxes? Do you do it yourself or get outside help?
I just did mine in February. I got outside help because this tax year is a bit complicated :)

My previous solution was to use stand-alone word processors, and even Gmail and Google Docs to compose longer blog entries and cut-and-paste them into the blog editor. Most of the time it works because blog editors now support rich-text HTML formats. But not all blog editors render the formatting correctly. Also it's cumbersome to use different web applications, because I had to switch from one browser tab to another just to copy-and-paste my entry.
Enter, Performancing. It's a FireFox plugin that sits neatly at the bottom of your browser (via split window). This means that you can tab to your different blogs and copy-and-paste away. As a bonus, it supports popular blogging API such as Wordpress, Typepad, Blogger, and more so you can automatically publish your post to multiple blogs. Another BIG thing I like about Performancing is that it supports raw HTML editing. This makes it easier for me to add and preview embedded objects like videos and audio players in the blog post.
Perfomancing is still VERY useful for social networking blogs which don't have a blogging API that is supported by Performancing, e.g. MySpace, FaceBook, Vox, and Zaadz. As an example, I composed this blog entry and automatically published it to my Typepad blog. Using Performancing, I can easily crosspost to my Zaadz and Vox blogs by copy-and-pasting. It's perfect for crossposting as well as composing original entries on your other blogs. The editor sits at the bottom of the browser, you can hide/unhide it easily, and you can save multiple “Notes” for later posting on your blogs. And did I mention that it's FREE?
There are a lot of functionality that I haven't covered. So give it a spin and discover them for yourselves. I'm already happy with the features I mentioned above. It's enough to make me improve my blogging mojo.
To sum it up, Performancing is My New Favorite Firefox Add On.
Performancing by Performancing
Performancing is a full-featured blog editor that sits right in your Firefox browser and lets you post to your blog easily. You can drag and drop formatted content, including images, from the page you are browsing and take notes as well as post to your blog.
Congrats - TIME Magazine voted you "Person of the Year"! What's your acceptance speech?
"Um, is thing on? It's on? Oh, cool. Ahem. I'd like to spank the academy...."

Which presidents and political parties were responsible for America's
deadliest wars? To what extent can you blame a president or a political
party for choosing to go to war? This map may hold some answers. It
illustrates the history of American war from 1775 to 2006. War is a
necessary evil. Politics, however, shouldn't be. My Take: This map
is good information but could be very misleading if you read it just by
the number of casualties alone. Although the Democrat and Republican
wars had far more casualties (with Democrat wars being the deadliest),
it doesn't prove that either of those parties are “deadlier” or more
“evil” than the wars during the time of the Founding Fathers. Yes
there are more casualties, but we have to view it in the context of
life conditions and history. For example, as history progressed,
nations get more interconnected and weapons get deadlier, hence the
more number of casualties. How
has the geography of religion evolved over the centuries, and where has
it sparked wars? Our map gives us a brief history of the world's most
well-known religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and
Judaism. Selected periods of inter-religious bloodshed are also
highlighted. Want to see 5,000 years of religion in 90 seconds? Ready,
Set, Go!
Check out these awesome visual maps from Maps of War. Here are two of my favorites. Hat tip to Mr. Dallman for the link.
