Bring on the honey

November 30, 2008

Written by Owen under Honey

The weekend is always a great time to collect some cool links from around the Web and share them with my readers. After all, what’s a Honeypot without some Honey. So without any further ado:

Yotel: Hotel chain in a couple of European airports where you can hire a cabin for as little as 4 hours. What an amazing concept.
Is your personal blog working for or against you? A must read for all bloggers.
Letter writing is dead. Just join Facebook: The new way to keep in touch with old friends.
Widgenie: Create your own widget to share your data.
A 2.5 year old grievance: Blogger gets flame-grilled some something she posted over 2 years ago!
Visual Trace Route: Find out where websites are in the world
Firebug Power user demo: Ohh .. great stuff
Home Pub: Here’s a great Xmas present. Get someone their very own pub.
Plug into Now: Massive mashup with widgets from all over the Internet
My mate Pete leaves Izea: He’ll be missed, but family comes first

There should be plenty to keep you distracted when you read this on Monday morning.

Great links! I didn’t want to work today, anyway, and now you’ve given me an excuse to spend time reading instead of working! Thanks.

Great links…I always wonder if my blog is going to end up biting me in the butt one day. Haha.

Love the photo with this post. I would love to have my own Pub but fear that I might drink all of the profits LOL.

Ya, thanks for filling up my afternoon with such great stuff to read too

I’m glad you shared Pete’s post – it’s very sad to hear he’s leaving IZEA, especially with hard feelings, but he knows what is best for himself and his family.

Hey Owen,

Thanks for linking me mate – totally unexpected, and thanks for the well wishes.

I’ll be posting up some stories soon on my ‘return home’ (in a technical sense) covering what I’m doing now. Very technical, very pure, with a great deal of all important balance – you’d love it.

As a completely tangential aside I still to this very day shake my head in disbelief that we didn’t hire you into Edenbrook all those years ago. If ever you fancy a move out to the States though …..

I had no idea about Pete til reading your post, Owen. Thank you so much. I got to say good bye, at least. Anyway, the first link is one I have always wished we had when traveling. It would sure beat sleeping in a chair at the airport.

I have seen other short-stay hotels in airports–great for a long layover time.

I probably wouldn’t have known about Pete leaving if you didn’t post the link. And the link about the blogger with the post over 2 years old, amazing!
