It's cuil

Ok, maybe it isn't really synonymous with cool, according to the website cuil is an Irish word meaning knowledge, but it still is pretty darn cool.

Allow me to explain. Cuil is a search engine, much like Yahoo, Live, Google, etc..., but they have a different philosophy with regards to search. They have a nice privacy policy and once you get use to how they return results it is pretty darn useful. Take a look at it and judge for yourself.

Firefox - Exporting Bookmarks

If your like me you are sure to make backups of important files. However, it dawned on me the other day that I wasn't backing up my bookmarks. Yes, there are automated tools for backing everything up, but I just want to backup a minimal set of things, the rest I can re-install or download again.

Here are some simple steps to export your Firefox bookmarks.

Open Firefox
Select Bookmarks
Select Organize Bookmarks from the drop down

Now your in Bookmarks Manager
Select File
Select Export from the drop down
Now just select the destination, save, and your done.

Best Robot?

The other day a few friends and I were standing around talking about robots and we got into a discussion about Kismet vs Asimo. I have my own opinions, but I will leave it up to you to decide.
