<p>Yahoo has lanched <a href="http://fireeagle.yahoo.net/">Fire Eagle</a>, a way of providing your location to several services. Good news to Python Hackers, <a href="http://nascentguruism.com/">Steve Marshall</a> has published <a href="http://github.com/SteveMarshall/fire-eagle-python-binding/">his bindings to the Fire Eagle <span class="caps">API</span></a>. Also in the Python world, <a href="http://simonwillison.net/">Simon Willison</a> has done <a href="http://wikinear.com">a really cool mashup</a> envolving FireEagle and Wikipedia (along with some Google Stuff) sticking it all inside a Django Project. And he also explains <a href="http://simonwillison.net/2008/Mar/22/wikinear/">how he made it</a>.</p>

<p>Among the <a href="http://del.icio.us/alcidesfonseca">best of the web</a> I found a link to <a href="http://rcrowley.org/">Richard Crowley&#8217;s blog</a>. I found there three cool hacks, specially the last two. The first is <a href="http://rcrowley.org/2008/03/22/powncefs/">PownceFS</a> and implementation of your Pownce friends archives as a filesystem. Systems like this and like <a href="http://www.getdropbox.com/">DropBox</a>, that connect the desktop and the web are stuff that I believe in. Oh, and take a look at <a href="http://tarpipe.com">TarPipe</a> when it comes out (or earlier at <a href="http://takeoff.ideias3.com">Take Off</a>!).</p>

<p>The other two are some UserScripts to improve you Google Reader experience. I use it as the my major source of information (email being only for private stuff and twitter&#8230; you can&#8217;t really call it information, can you?) but I archive stuff in my delicious account, so now I have what I&#8217;ve been looking for in a while: being able to <a href="http://rcrowley.org/2008/02/08/readelicious-hacking-delicious-directly-into-google-reader/">bookmark posts directly to Delicious inside Google Reader</a>.</p>

<p>The last one, is another script to <a href="http://rcrowley.org/2008/02/11/more-greader-hacking-immersion/">see that original link for that post but inside GoogleReader</a>, which I find very handy to comment a post, or see some youtube video GReader insists on not parsing.</p>
