clipclip

This is a content-clipping tool (beyond simple bookmarking) that allows you to select and save pieces from the websites you surf, like text, videos, photos, etc. It's very similar to the pioneer Clipmarks, but there are still some differences. For instance, with clipclip you can email to other people the clips you create. They will receive the actual content of your clip and furthermore: two links, one to the clipclip page where your clip is stored and one to the original website from where you created the clip.

Clipmarks, on the other hand, does not provide the feature of emailing the actual clip but just of emailing the clipmark's URL, so your friends will need to jump from the email message to the Clipmarks site in order to meet the clip content.

clipclip is very new, so it's very behind Clipmarks in terms of community and social interaction among clippers. Anyway, despite being an old Clipmarks member, I find the clipclip interface easy to use and elegant. It does not require any software installation (unlike Clipmarks extensions) but a simple bookmarklet. However, they need to improve the method to select the pieces from a website that you want to clip, since now it's a bit limited.

toread

toread consists of a bookmarklet that you install in your browser favorites, so every time you find a web page that you want to keep to review later, just click on the bookmarklet and the page, as it is, as it appears originally, will be sent to your email inbox. Registering to toread only requires your email address, that one to which you will receive exact screenshots of the webpages you wish to read later. Beyond simple URL bookmarking, toread sends you the actual page, then it's up to you if you want to keep it or not as a message within your email system. If you happen to use Gmail, toread comes handy, since you can assign labels to your toread received pages, for further storage and review.

Creative Use of Imagination

ENTER INTO THE STATE
AND NOT SIMPLY THINK OF THE STATE

Blake makes the statement: “If the spectator could enter into the images in his Imagination, approach them on the fiery chariot of his contemplative thought; if he could make a friend and companion of any one of these images in his Imagination…” Well, he emphasized “enter into the image,” not to contemplate it as something on the outside. I contemplate now New York City. I am seeing it from San Francisco. If my desire this night is to be in New York City, I say I can’t afford the time, or maybe I can’t afford it because of lack of funds, or maybe my commitments will tie me here − I don’t know, yet my desire is to be in New York City. I must, if I would realize it in spite of the limitations that now surround me (money, lack of time, obligations − call it what you will, I still want to be in New York City) I must enter into the image that is now something on the surface of the mind “out there,” 3,000 miles away. Standing here, I must shut out the belief that I am in San Francisco.

Knowing New York City quite well, I would assume I am standing in a most familiar part of New York City and let it surround me. I must be in it, and then think of San Francisco. I must now see it 3,000 miles to the west of me, as I now see New York City 3,000 miles to the east of me. If I go into that state and dwell in it and make it natural, though I remain in it only for a little while, a minute or so, then I open my eyes − I am shocked to find that I am still here. I came back here. I have done it. I have entered into the state of my desire and I will move across a bridge of incidents, a series of events, that will lead me and compel me to take a journey to New York City.

Now, this I have used only as a spatial example. You can take it in a financial sense, take it in the social world, take it in any way whatsoever. That is what came to me a few days before I closed. For if I could find something more simple to tell them than I think I have told them, this would be it: to enter into the state and not simply think of the state. Thinking from it differs from thinking of it. I must learn to think from it. A man who this night came into a million dollars, from that moment that man is made aware that he has a million, when prior to that he had nothing. He is thinking from the consciousness of having a million dollars. He is not thinking of it; he is walking in the consciousness of having a million dollars. He’s not hoping for it, wishing for it; he is actually in it.

Socialogue

Socialogue is an online free cataloguing service for your music collection, movies collection and books library. I would use it for CDs and DVDs, since I find LibraryThing to be a better library manager.

mail2rss -- disposable email accounts

Mail2Rss is a combination of email address and rss feed.

Avoid spam, read received messages through a feed reader (like netvibes.com), don't worry about virus and attachments -they don't get to you. No reply, just read. No set up. No need to delete messages, they are automatically off past seven days of arrival.

Why using this instead of a conventional email address?

1. You prefer reading email newsletters as a feed, so forward them to Mail2Rss.
2. You subscribe to news sites and don't want to use your regular email account.
3. You want being contacted by readers but not disclosing yet your main email address.
