Blogs

 Well, it's Monday.  And, I have been sick for the past few days.  So, that is why there have been no updates.  But as usual with me after getting over a cold, I feel incredibly energized and really creative.  And, I plan on using this creative worldwind to actually update do stuff on the site.  I really need to finish my first article, "What is 'Content'?".  But we'll see how that goes.

 Amazon realeased the Kindle 2 today.  Thinner, faster, more space, blah blah blah as with other product upgrades.  Even though its cool, and even though you get free wireless to download books whenever/wherever*, I'm still torn about owning one.  Why?  Because I still like the physical touch of books.  And probably just like I don't need the 80 gigs of mp3 I carry around on my iPod, I'm quite sure I don't need 1500 books.

This is a funny little game.

If only I had time to sit around and code Flash games, that would be great.  Hmm, speaking of which, I wonder what is going on at Popfly these days....

My E sent me a link to this site called openfilm.  It's like a grown up version of YouTube, where users can enjoy quality work and where filmmakers can exhibit their wild ideas for us to enjoy.  It also doesn't have teens running into trees, or "This video has been removed due to copyright violation."

Here's my favorite of the day:

Idling around at work, I caught this article on Time.com:

25 Things I Didn't Want to Know About You

I wholeheartedly agree with the author, and it reminds me of why I sometimes hate social networking.  Sure, I myself have a Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and LinkdIn account (and at least 2 user names on all those instant messaging protocols... and I won't even start with emails), but sometimes people are FAR too open and take the persona's they portray on these networks WAY too seriously.  I've even had a first hand taste of this now drama laced internet underground via MySpace.  In either case, if you aren't keeping things anonymous, please refrain from telling us what monkey's have done to you.  You never know who you know that's reading or who you work with is reading.

Well, I finally have my site back online.  I'm slowly getting things going again, so keep checking back for what will hopefully be daily ramblings, cool ideas, and general articles of different technologies I am playing with.  I hope to keep this blog updated as much as possible.  This time around.  No really I promise.
