How am I expected to get any real work done when theres Olympic hockey on all day every day?

Ugh!?

I’m still poking around and seeing what is what, but I figured I’d mention that the latest social link finding and bookmarking site Ma.gnolia has left beta and is now open to all.

I can’t say its really something I’m was looking for—while I do use deli.cio.us I can’t say I couldn’t live without it. But the new site by Zeldman and others looks to have some nifty features that try and make it more of just a place to store your remote bookmarks.

Give it a try and poke around. And if you’re looking to fill your ‘friends’ list go ahead and add placenamehere as a contact¹ .

¹ placenamehere can also be found @deli.cio.us, @flickr, @digg, @newsvine & @o’reilly connection with varying degrees of activity.

A conversation I just had with one of my Intorweb friends who lives in Canadia…

I mentioned it in my link post earlier today, but being its first major release in far too long and the big official 1.0 it deserves a post of its own. Camino 1.0 is the Mac OS X browser with a native Mac interface and the web standards support of Firefox.

As a web developer I have at least a dozen different browsers or versions of browsers installed at any time, but Camino has for some time been the one I use for my daily surfing and all but the most extreme development work.

What you can look forward to in the latest release:

• Support for standards from CSS to SVG.
• Updated interface including bookmark, download manager and tab changes.
• Universal binary for those lucky enough to be on an Intel Mac already.
• Address Book based form fill.

And two great additions that you can look forward to in upcoming releases:

• Spell Check for in page forms
• Feed Discovery that allows subscription to Atom & RSS feeds in your existing feed reader (like NetNewsWire)

Reuters via MSNBC: Iran renames Danish pastries after prophet
“Roses of the Prophet Muhammad” is latest salvo in caricature protest

Updated: 2:52 p.m. ET Feb. 14, 2006

TEHRAN, Iran – Not content with pelting European embassies with Molotov cocktails to protest against cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, Iranians have decided to rename the “Danish pastries” relished by this nation of cake lovers.

From now on, the sweet, flaky pastries which dominate the shelves in Iran's cake shops will be known as “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad,” the official IRNA news agency reported as pressure on Denmark over the cartoons took on a new dimension.

“No one is allowed to make fun of our beloved and respected prophet,” Hassan Nasserzadeh, a cake shop owner in central Tehran, told Reuters.

The pastries are baked every day and are not imported or subject to any boycott of Danish goods imposed over the cartoons.

The Iranian move had echoes of the verbal food fight set off by restaurants in the U.S. House of Representatives, which renamed “French fries” and “French toast” served at the Capitol as “Freedom fries” and “Freedom toast” after France refused to back the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
