Nudist on the day shift - According to the American Association for Nude Recreation and The Naturist Society, “working from home, in the nude, is in fact increasing in popularity!” It’s one of the activities they recommend for the annual Nude Recreation Week, July 9-15.

Zoho meets Facebook - If you get a sudden itch to create a document while you’re indulging in some social networking, you don’t even have to go anywhere now. With the availability of iZoho for the iPhone as well, they’re becoming the online office suite you just can’t get away from.

Maybe it’s not so slow after all - Some people have taken issue with the notion that you can’t type quickly on an iPhone, to the extent that they’re posting demonstrations of their mad typing skilz to YouTube. I wonder how many times they had to film this before it came out perfectly, though?

Had enough of your cell phone carrier? - If it’s Sprint Nextel, you can get them to cancel you just by calling customer service “excessively.” Maybe you can outsource the dialing to a deserving high school student.

Egg to Adobe’s chicken - If your web design needs could use a site where color palettes are shared and rated by an active community, try…wait for it…COLOURlovers, which certainly seems to have served as an inspiration to the now-better-known Adobe Kuler. There’s some interesting back story here.

Hi Mike, on that Kuler issue, could I ask you to read a little more deeply into the charges, and consider them before republishing? (I suspect you’ll find that “collaborative colorsets, greyscale UI, both have ‘U’ in the name” to be insufficient grounds for the campaign.)

Did you notice that four of their five suggestions involve work? The best some nudists could come up with to do naked are work, do yard work, clean, or go swimming? I can do better than that off the top of my head!
