I’ve got a thought, an observation, and a request this Monday evening. THOUGHT: I’ve been actively trying to move off of Internet Explorer on my XP box. There are two reasons for this: First, the browser is not keeping up with recent innovations… namely tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking. I’m becoming dependent on these features… more
I’ve been apt to rip on bookmarks because, well, they suck. Browser makers, for some odd reason, have decided to mostly ignore bookmarks as a means of organizing information. Thankfully, bookmarks are quickly becoming irrelevant because bookmarks are being replaced… by people. (Note: If you’ve no idea what NetNewsWire or RSS Readers are, please read… more
When I asked Brent Simmons whether he thought there was any way for people to making money via weblogs other than providing software or services, he actually answered a much bigger question when he responded: “… I probably wouldn’t hire anybody for anything unless they had a weblog.” He continued: … The main thing is:… more

Your Monday morning useless brain teaser: Big fan of NetFlix here. Been using the service for just under year and have no major complaints. This weekend, I accidentally sent a movie back w/out the DVD sleeve. When I discovered the orphan sleeve next to the TV, I thought, “Ooops. How are they going to identify… more
For your viewing pleasure from waxy.org, here’s some kid goofing off with an imaginary light saber — it’s better than it sounds. I highly recommend viewing the raw version rather than the remix. (Windows Media)
