I just won an iPod Shuffle. Then I tried to convince them I hadn't won. Really. I did.
Here's the deal. Lately, Typepad has been announcing a new widget partner every couple of days. One of the widget partners is Tumri CornerStore, that "makes it easy for your readers to shop for relevant product offers without leaving your site."
I figured I'd play with it to see how it worked...

Woo Hoo!!
My Candy Swap Package from Melissa arrived today in a Canada Post rush package. She even included the nicest card. I can't wait to rip those boxes open. One is French inspired chocolates the other is Roman inspired chocolates. 
The Campino hard candies will be tucked into assorted bags, knapsacks and pockets to keep my breath sweet.
I hope my package is as well received.

After Kate pointed out that it was possible he was reporting from her fridge, I set up my camera with an LED and a motion detector.
Watch out... he might be in your fridge next.

Please, please, please tell me someone else saw that Alien news report last night on the plight of the poor pickle imprisoned in glass within the dark, cold isolation of the fridge.
I hope this is a series, and that whatever genius thought of it gets much credit... though I couldn't find any mention of it on technorati.
Sadly I only caught the tail end of this ad, and was distracted too.... so I don't remember the brand. But you know I'd be all over their site today if they'd included an url.
Hey, Ken Schafer, give these guys a finger wagging would you please.

Yesterday while cycling over to our mailbox I saw this street art being created for Pride.

Yesterday was an odd mix. I grabbed a quick, very greasy, breakfast at the Patrician Grill and then zipped over to Starbucks on Front Street to work. (WIFI is my friend)
As I was sitting there "working" I watch a young StarBuck assemble a matrix of espresso cups along the bar. Each column was lined up with what looked like an insulated bodum pot. Then he plunked 2 sampling trays on the counter and came around asking each person in the store if they wanted to participate in a coffee tasting.
What was I to say? "Nope, sorry, I'm working"? Ya, right.
So I headed up to the counter to sample the "Africans" which we were tasting: Kenyan, Ethiopian Sidamo, Arabian Mocha Sanani, and a summer blend called Gazebo.

Pluck doesn't seem to like my Firefox and I have lost all my RSS feeds.
Rather than rebuilding them in an obviously wonky tool with a low CSR factor, I want to ask "what reader are you using?" But then I thought... "why stop there?"
You know you want to brag about finding the coolest tools, the funkiest freebies and the slickest services out there... well now's the time to pony up and share your finds with the WORLD!!! (okay, at least with me. please.)
Just take the What's in your Web2.0 Toolbox? questionnaire below:

[ Update -- 26/07/07 -- from lex
As of June 2007, all miniBookExpo posts have been moved to their very own blog www.minibookexpo.com, please come on over and Claim it - Read it - Blog it ]
What you are looking at here is old!
Anyone who has heard me talk about BookExpo knows that one of the perks of this trade show is the books. Stacks of books. So many books that your arms and back hurt from carrying around the books. And that's if you're not trying to get books. If you are working it, well, you'd better have eaten your Wheaties.
The primary purpose of the BookExpo trade show is for publishers to promote their authors and titles to the Book Selling community. In actuality, it turns into maze of lineups and a feeding frenzy of free books.
However, you don't have to be a bookseller to end up with books. Lots of books.
This year, I got a number of titles which I probably won't read. So, since the purpose of the free books is to get some Word of Mouth going... I have decided to set up

6:18am - I'm already late. Zooming down Jarvis in a cab I have just 27 minutes to get myself to CBC, through security, up to the 3rd floor studio and on air with Andy Barrie for Metro Morning to discuss the sale of TheApprenticeBlog.com on eBay.
When I crashed last night the bidding was at $733, and by morning it had risen to $911. That means Ger is definitely getting that new laptop he needs. If the bidding goes a little higher I'll be able to swing a trip home to visit my dad, who I haven't seen in a year (ahem, no comments on that please... I know I'm a bad daughter)
We arrive at the CBC building and I jump out, rush in the wrong door and there's no one at security...
