Skype Caller ID and Google Voice
I'm not sure when it took effect, but you can now assign your Google Voice Caller ID to your Skype account so that your outgoing Skype calls show your Google Voice number. I tried to do this months ago, but it requires Skype to send a text message to the desired number, and Skype at that time was unable to send text messages to GV numbers.
This has been resolved. And setting it up is super-simple:
1. go to the "Caller ID" section of your account
2. click "Change Number" and enter your GV phone number
3. you should receive a text message with a code (this took about 10 seconds for me)
4. enter this code back into the Skype page
5. wait 24 hours for the change to take effect
Now the people you call won't get confused by Skype's default caller ID.

Blogger Template Designer
Google has launched their Template Designer as part of the Blogger in Draft system (sort of their "Labs" for Blogger). Essentially it adds a bit more customization and templates to Blogger for those of us that are CSS-challenged. Read more about it here, or watch the video below.

"Podcast Ready" in Wikipedia
Okay, so I'm not mentioned, but the company I founded - Podcast Ready, Inc. - is. It's discussed in the Podcast entry with regards to the trademark, where its mentioned that of all the companies that filed for "podcast" related marks, Podcast Ready was the only to receive one.
Of course a trademark is only as good as the bank account backing it. And when someone like Apple wants to claim a "common law right to all things 'pod'" it takes a boatload of cash to prove them wrong.
