Rambling: Web for applications, RSS for content?
Feb 27th
Being laid up a lot lately with all the health issues that have left me pretty close to immobile, I find myself with not a lot to do except read. A lot of what I read is RSS feeds. Recently a friend of mine had a new idea of how to manage RSS feeds and…
Are your children prepared for the Apocalypse?
Feb 26th
I haven’t played Fallout 3 in weeks now. In fact, I haven’t played any game in a very long time now. Things have been too much up in the air for it. However, having said that, i think this discussion point is very relevant given todays economic climate and the chances we will see an…
Can you find your g-spots?

Who of you can honestly say what this ad is about before the end of it? :-) Be honest now. :-) And no, its not insurance. There is no little talking lizard :-)
The dreaded Man Cold returns
Feb 25th
It is what it is. I have the dreaded Man Cold on top of everything else. And to save you clicking that link back to a post from last year, I’m going to repost the video here to remind you all. Pity me. I am dying over here. In so many ways. And now on…
Change of twitter tactic
Feb 25th
I’m having a lot of trouble with the integration code to get Twitter to be a part of the blog stream rather than a sidebar widget or whatever. My main concern is that I posted a lot of things to Jaiku and am likely to do the same to Twitter. But with only 5 posts…
First of the big changes begun
Feb 24th
There are a few changes happening on the site at the moment. One of the big changes is the inclusion of Twitter related services being integrated into the site. My tweets on Twitter.com now show up as “asides” or “mini-posts” on the blog. They will not show up in the RSS feed, but they will…
US Antitrust Chief makes noises about Google
Feb 24th
Okay, I admit this is a week old. In my defense its been a pretty busy week since I first saw it on Bloomberg and wanted to discuss it. The draft has been screaming at me every time I open the blog. However, age doesn’t make it less relevant. In fact, its one of those…
Telecom looking at LTE
Feb 24th
When I found out last year that Telecom is building a new $500million+ GSM/HSPA+ network, I was a little surprised. Telecom had made such a massive fanfare about their switch to their 027 network when it happened, that I expected they’d be rooting for that networking for many years to come. Ironic I guess that…

Scrubs S08 so far
Feb 23rd
It took me a bit to get into the new season. Having Courtney Cox Arquette come on the show was an interesting twist, but it didn’t work for me and I’m glad they removed the character from the series. No matter how hot she is. It was interesting having her there for the first 3…
