Recently my much loved homepage iGoogle just got much better on both the design and practicality fronts.
The artist themes that you can select for personalizing your homepage now include a whole slew of my favorite musicians (Radiohead, Coldplay, Gnarls Barkley, etc.) and fashion designers (Gucci, Burberry, Dolce and Gabanna, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Jimmy Choo, Diane Von Furstenberg, Herve Leger, Vivenne Tam, etc.) - there are so many great new designs that I keep changing my preferences around so I can get to all of them! At the moment I’ve selected BCBG Max Azria (screenshot here) because it’s lovely and I’m a huge fan of his line. Other great girly themes include Anna Sui, Sergio Rossi, Stella McCartney, and Sara Bareilles just to name a few.
The other great change has been the movement of tabs to the side and the introduction of canvas-view gadgets. Now all the apps I have are dropped down in a way that makes them all much easier to access (it’s like a new set of bookmarks/toolbar links within your iGoogle page). The canvas-view also means that I can look at everything on a wide page within the iGoogle page itself and not have to open it up in a new tab - a browser within a browser if you will. As an example, here’s a canvas-view of New Haven weather.

Well the year is already a day old, and like everyone else on the planet, I’ve got some goals that I want to achieve this year. The thing is though, that I’m not really good with keeping these resolutions. LOL They usually fade into oblivion by March. I think that happens because I always have this ambitious laundry list of things that I want to accomplish and in the end, I’m just overwhelmed with how much I “need” to do, and end up either half assing it, or putting it off until never. Yeah, I said until never. Down with Procratination!
