154 sites that I have logins for.
July 15th, 2007 § 2 comments § permalink
Like digging through my web-trash. I decided it would be interesting if I could figure out how many sites I have logins for. I did most of my digging through my gmail account and all of these sites are registered with that address. That being said, some of the sites like Multiply, Gather, Myfamily have accounts with other addresses because I’ve signed up multiple fake accounts for the sake of testing their feature set. Some of them are one-offs or rarely used. With those, there’s been some piece of content that I wanted and I had to sign up to get it. This is but a fraction of the sites I have bookmarked. My bookmarks range from local, to stumbleupon, del.icio.us, blue.dot, and ma.gnolia. This also doesn’t include my newsletters, like the IA lists, etc. Just the sites that I can visit, and login to as of today. At one point the list was up to 160, but because either I was wrong, or the site doesn’t exist, or it’s not associated with my gmail account. I also left out the 2156 pr0n sites, and my Swiss bank accounts.

Lesidue -from the genius that is Kim Ogle

Lesidue – emotional baggage belonging to trans boys leftover from when they were lesbians.
Music Blogs are the new record store.

Back when I was a teenager I used to go to the record store with between 30 and 50 dollars. I’d buy one or two things I’d been saving for, and maybe something I wasn’t THAT sure about. It was hit and miss ya know. The same is still true with me, but I get all this from music blogs now. I discover some of the coolest most exciting stuff between palmsout and Discobelle.
Not to mention hypem.com
Combine those sites with Firefox and DTA and you’re golden you can get ALBUMS worth of new GOOD remixes and new stuff EVERY SINGLE DAY. I usually go once a month or so and just to a mega grab.
Here’s the tools:
and the sites:
Hypem.com
Discobelle
Palmsout (go for the Remix Sunday)
The Letter G (podcasts are the shiz)
FiftyOne:FiftyOne
Fluokids (because French Pop is the only thing that bangs.)
and if you’re too cool for school dig up the
Lowbee Forum. You’ll have to find that yourself, bitches. 
The tyranny of repeated failures

Wow. More and more I believe that the power of patterns, completely trumps the power of logic. In a war of attrition, our choice is so more often overwhelmed by the brute force of patterns, and lost is the subtle civility and gentle cognitive pleasure of logical solutions.
I’m watching people perform in usability testing sessions and seeing over and over that their expectations of interfaces are learned expectations from BAD interfaces. It’s not like they can tell you WHY they expect things to be in this place or that, just that it’s what’s common to them. “Usually the ___ is over by ___ and it does ____.”
