Fifth Annual Weblog Awards

So, amazingly enough, it is time for the Fifth Annual Weblog Awards. You should vote. I might. I just enjoy the links to all of the interesting blogs. What could be better? There are certainly better ways to spend my time . . . or not.

Me and Puck

You Are the Investigator

5 You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker. You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does. Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations. You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it.

Social Network - Thefacebook

So I ran across this site when I was reading this article. I think this is tremendously interesting. I'm not sure exactly why, but I feel that the rapid adoption of the site somehow means something. Especially since most of the news about it mentions that it is a great way to procrastinate. If there is one thing that we can all use, it is another way to procrastinate.

A problem: you need to register. You need a university e-mail address. You can tell them you are an alumnus. If you are an alumnus, then you probably don't have a university e-mail address. Then you can't register. I may give them a bogus e-mail just to see if I can sneak in.

Another artifact

A presentation that I couldn't save, so I link it into my blog

Hello World

Hot Legs

So how cool is Hello. I'm afraid it is pretty damn cool!

A guy I know

We are a brooding sort. Excellent example of a personal blog.

I just wanted to be sure I remembered this site and this one when it comes time to put my site together. I hope that is soon.

A New and More Meaningful Existence

Maybe. I've started a new blog with a specific purpose. This one meanders and is for me. If you read it, I'd guess you wouldn't really come back. I wouldn't. The new one is all about Reading First. If you want to know what that is, go there. We'll see how it goes.

I'm going to miss this guy

I see no reason to get a Saturday paper anymore.

I love this, although I can do without the pathetic neener, flushing, I wanna be first like a 4 year old comments.

An Opinion on Open Source

Generally speaking, I am a fan of open source projects. Of course, this is most hypothetical since I really use next to no open source tools and or projects. I've just been OK with the tools that I have which have mostly been determined by where I work - I'm basically agnostic. Or perhaps, just so apathetic that I don't care to spend the time to push for change. I happened to run across this post that sort of captured a general feeling that many people who are not technology-phillic have about open source. People just want their technology to work, they don't want to work on their technology.
