I'm getting particularly tired of hearing about how computers are dieing and the cloud and software as a service are going to take over. That only works if you live in the .doc world where all your files will individually still fit on a floppy disk. For people that actually use the power in their computers a tablet will never suffice.

I'm sure everybody as seen the new footers floating around the bottom of blogs and news pages, anything with frequently updated content. You know the things, they're more java toolbars than footers.

Good parties this Halloween. Nothing wild and crazy, but good people

Why is it that when you buy a gig of ram you get 1,073,741,824 (2^30) bytes while a hard drive only gets you 1,000,000,000 (10^9) bytes?

Why is it that bows fire arrows while crossbows fire bolts?

I'm feeling the urge to pull my digital shit together again. Log into facebook and myspace more than twice a year. Find that twitter page and maybe find some people or interesting entities to follow.
