Grab Bag: Your Five Links of the Week
Posted in: Website Links
- http://tinyurl.com/28ecn8 - [For Mac users only] No more painfully slow load times or massive onslaughts of advertisements from weather sites like Accuweather and Weather.com. You have an alternative, and it’s called Seasonality. Developed by Gaucho software, Seasonality is a little software program created specifically for “visual, information hungry weather buffs” that includes features such as graphs, satellite images, and astronomical data. Take it for a 30 day test drive for free. If you like what you see and choose to purchase Seasonality, it will set you back a total of $24.95.

I had no idea; you never told me. Setting up a simple autoresponder would have saved me (and all the other people who emailed you) quite a few headaches.
- http://tinyurl.com/28j9e8 - Still wondering how I make these ‘tiny URLs’ for most of the links in the Grab Bag section? Wish you could shrink long website addresses down so they were shorter and easier to share with others? Here are three tools that put the power of URL-shrinking into your hands! (A note for those thinking “Yeah, I already know how to use TinyUrl – so thanks but no thanks”: read this post to learn about two alternatives to TinyUrl that offer an additional, useful benefit…)
