Weblogs: A serendipitous round-up

A Serendipitous Intention: "Do you ever wish you had an online catalog of your books? Okay, so maybe you don’t dream of one, but it sure would be nice, right? Now there is LibraryThing, a web application that serves this exact purpose. As a bonus it even works well with Delicious Library, one of my favorite programs. If you are interested in following LibraryThing you can subscribe to the blog."

(Delicious Library, for Mac OS X, helps you catalog your books, music, and movies by scanning the bar code with a Firewire video camera, then uploading catalog information and integrating with Address Book for loans, thus letting you run a one-person library.)

"We all make typos, right? If you are smart, you know that you can benefit from other people’s typos on eBay with Fat Fingers. I have yet to find anything, but then again I’m not a big eBay fanatic at the moment."

(I searched for Tolkien and Fat Fingers found 71 misspelled items on eBay.)

"Also on the web, there is a cool reverse dictionary that helps you find the perfect word. You have no idea how useful this will be to me. I am always thinking of meanings and can never find a word that matches them."
