Not even two years of age, my loyal companion Matrox, nickname 250 GB Disk, passed away two days ago. Without any previous symptoms he lost his life under rather mysterious circumstances. Let us all remember him, and my precious [...]... Worldview 2.0 - The evolution of the binary mind When I went to elementary school, we discussed things like children do.

Yesterday it was up, then down, then up before it went down completely. Now www.blogcatalog.com forwards you to siteproplus.com.

No Social Media for the troops A couple of days ago the Pentagon started it’s own YouTube channel. As it says there: “Multi-National Force - Iraq established this YouTube channel to give viewers around the world a “boots on the ground” perspective of Operation Iraqi Freedom from those who are fighting it.” “Those who are fighting it” can’t watch it, though. Along with [...]... Why bother with Second life, when you’ve got a first one to finish? Disclaimer: I’ve never “played” Second Life and I don’t intend to do so. Ever. This rant is not born out of dissatisfaction with the product. No, I’m overcome with extreme annoyance whenever I hear someone mentioning Second Life. Especially if it is referred to as a game. Second Life is not a game. It’s a giant 3D [...]... ViralTags - Viralink reloaded If you have enjoyed the ViraLink, I bet you will love this.
