Links of the day

Gist, which I recently started using and HIGHLY recommend, just released an iPhone app. Helps you stay on top of your contacts by integrating LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter. just released an iPhone app. I wish they'd implement some caching on it, because there's far too much UI lag on it.

Viper now has a program where you can open, close, and hit your alarm from your iPhone, a subset of the ZipCar app capabilities.

How to be lucky. Favorite article of the day, by far. I win a greater than usual amount of stuff (in the last 2 months, iPod Nano @ TechCrunch 50, 320GB external secure IBM hard drive @ GDGT, Week 1 Hansen's Photo Contest), so it's nice to see what might be at the bottom of this luck. The article separates tendencies among the lucky and unlucky. The basic premise is solid- keep your eyes open for opportunities, loosen up and get lucky! The overly anxious tend to be worried, tunnel visioned, and therefore closed to opportunities.
