Cullect.com – You Already Have An Account
If you’ve spent significant time online, you have pile of names and passwords. Typically, one per domain, sometimes, it’s more than that.

caught up in @cullect after being in under the weather yesterday. Wow, that went quick. # @jamuraa – that’s the same as asking for an FM receiver in an iPod. # spoooooky what I wrote almost 2 years to the date: http://tinyurl.com/24q7a8 # Powered by Twitter Tools.
Cullect.com – We Read Through Each Other

Putting the ‘Fish’ in AmigoFish
After 3-years of knowing what a fantastic idea it would be – I finally moved the Mac Mini into the living room and plugged it into the HDTV. While the initial plan was to use it as a DVD player1, it piqued my interested in video podcasts 2. Not knowing where to start, I headed …
