Poli-blog

Sometimes I wonder if I shoulda named this site Politic Blog or something with all the time I spend thinking and posting about politics. I get sorta worked up when I hear about yet another crapy thing Bush or the republicans are doing. Thankfully I have a job and classes or maybe it might become depressing.

Anyway I have v2.3 of sparce out. Lately I've been thinking about link/bookmark management and how to incorporate something like del.icio.us with a compact front end like sparce that uses a plugin to both do what the del.icio.us firefox extension does and also record the number of clicks on those links to manage the order of display in each category. I've also thought of some new types of tags such as smart tags like most visited links (by you or other del.icio.us users) or most popular links (by you or other del.icio.us users).

In that same vein I have been thinking alot about the statistics of my music and web habits. I wonder what songs or albums or artists I listen to the most, or what web sites I visit the most. iTunes does have that information, though listening to music on many different computers its spread across them and it is a bit cumbersome to try and grab that information. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of doing that kind of tracking for firefox without making my own extension. The people over at Attention Trust seem to be going in that direction at least in terms of using that kind of data for something useful.
