I just ran across this Cyclelicious Mobile Widget from Plusmo. The Mobile Widget is a piece of software for your cell phone or other mobile device that sends Cyclelicious content to your phone, automatically.

I’m not a user of small mobile technology — in fact, my cell phone died about 3 weeks ago and I have yet to replace it. I know of at least one regular reader who does much of his blog reading on a mobile device. What should I do to make Cyclelicious friendlier to cell phones and similar mobile gadgets?

Carectomy is a new blog and web resource for people who want to experiment with extracting cars from people. Carectomy focuses on non-car transportation issues, including bicycling, public transportation and even gasp! walking.

Carectomy is part of the Ecogeek network. Check it out: Carectomy.

If you visit Cyclelicious you might have noticed I’ve added a small “Prox It” widget near the top of the web page. This widget from the small Germany start-up Proximic examines the content of your website, does some pattern matching and pops up what it thinks are related news items, Wikipedia articles, websites and products. If you have a moment, please try it out and let me know if you think the results are relevant or interesting. I’m especially interested in knowing if there’s any benefit for you, the Cyclelicious reader. Javascript must be enabled on your browser for this to work. Thanks!
