This is a very cool little feature I was turned on to by a friend the other day. Apparently, on September 19th, Facebook added another language to their site to commemorate International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I caught a glimpse of some of the Google Mappers in Central Park yesterday. I was able to snap a few photos on my BlackBerry, here they are. The cart that they were using needed two people to operate. There was one person in the front pedaling the bicycle-like vehicle while the other person pushed it from the back. It seemed like a lot of heavy equipment that they pushing around the park - it certainly made a lot of noise. Maybe my picture will be on Google Maps. I’ll have to see.

A while back, on the old Patrick DeVivo dot com, I posted a neat little trick which seemed to get a lot of publicity. This is just a quick repost of how it works.
Have you ever hit your stumble button but then got stuck with an ugly error page? Most likely, you were redirected to this page: http://www.stumbleupon.com/error.php and then displayed some sort of error message. StumbleUpon uses the PHP GET method to display the error, so you can easily modify it by editing the url in your address bar.

The awaited ThemeForest.net has just recently been opened for public use. ThemeForest is another great addition to the Envato Network, and now stands besides the FlashDen and AudioJungle marketplaces. In the ThemeForest, you can find quality themes and templates for WordPress, Joomla, other various CMS’s, or just CSS designs on their own. FlashDen, AudioJungle, and now ThemeForest are all deeply linked together, allowing user accounts on one site to be integrated into the others as well. If you are a CMS user, or designer looking to make some extra cash, be sure to check out the new ThemeForest marketplace.
