Harry Potter in the 'Hood. You digg? Hysterical!
Although I have posted in the past my disdain for Twitter, that did not keep me from signing up for an account and even enabling the ability to post to Twitter from my address bar. Once I watched the video below, I finally "got" it. Maybe I will turn into a Twitter Bug now. I am uber busy, and keeping people posted in this manner really can work. Now I just need some friends who really care about whether I just drank coffee or cleaned the toilet. ; P
Since the author of this Windows Mobile Smartphone (and also for Pocket PC, do a Google search) took his site down for renovation it is nearly impossible to find the CAB link for this handy freeware smartphone registry editor. Most Moto Q owners will tell you that the MSI installer doesn't work properly, and you need to install it via CAB file, transferred onto your device or storage card via ActiveSync. To avoid all the hunting and dead links, here is that .CAB file for PHMRegEdit:

Here is a foolproof "how to" guide to getting ALL the content of YouTube (not just the very limited content of YouTube Mobile, which still doesn't run on all Windows Smartphones) to run on your Motorola Q, but can be adapted for other Windows Smartphones. This is culled from wading through many forums and trial and error, as not all of the posted methods work, especially on a Verizon Moto Q, as Verizon tends to keep their phones more locked than some other carriers.
I've put everything in one place, including the files needed for download, as wading through the various methods and hundreds of posts is time consuming and finding everything in one place is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thanks to the good peeps at the Everything Q forums for sharing this information, and thanks to those who developed the files/work around, as Windows doesn't handle java or Flash natively, as do other platforms, so when you try to open YouTube on your Moto Q, you get a Windows Media file handling error. So, without further ado, here is the distilled and easy (please comment or email me if you have any questions, or still don't understand how to do this) version of getting YouTube to run on a Moto Q:

Video To Go: Save YouTube videos for any device with vConvert - via Lifehacker - via Mashable
Use online tool, vConvert, using the link above to convert your YouTube videos into any format you need. Can isolate just the audio portion so you can transfer that onto your computer or device as well. Nothing to download, just insert the YouTube URL and it will convert the file and let you download it. Cool!
Although I try to keep Firefox from becoming bloated by too many extensions, I do have a cadre of them I just can't do without. I do go through them periodically to see if I can weed out and uninstall any of those that I do not use regularly. About 5 of them made that cut tonight, but I also replaced one of the five with a new extension called "Mobilizer" (since I'm now in love with my Moto Q and have completely tricked it out) which with a right click will select, convert to the proper format and send the object to the mobile phone of your choice. I have yet to test drive it, but will review it after I have. In theory, it's brilliant. Let's hope it lives up to expectations.
A few other extensions I find invaluable:
TIP: If your favorite site doesn't have a favicon, or it won't load, here is where Favicon Picker comes in. That extension lets you go to a bookmark's properties and chose a favicon or icon for it. You can use one of your own, or I just "Google" the sight, and if it does have a favicon, I save the favicon that didn't load in my icon folder, renaming it to match the sight. For the most part, you can just drag and drop and the favicon loads, but for the rare instance it doesn't, you're trying to save real estate and easily identify your bookmark, so it's a good "fix".)
Some rock videos with a cowboy theme (one was released in 1990, but hey, I love the song, so I pushed the envelope), some New Wave and some Freestyle dance. Pick your poison and enjoy!
