  Boston BLOGtoberfest 2006

  BLOGtoberfest 2006 This looks like it could be a lot of fun. I was browsing through upcoming.org the other day and I stumbled across this event. So far almost 40 people RSVP’d and another handful, including myself, are watching it ever so carefully. I should really check that date. Speaking of upcoming.org, I almost forgot [...]

  Revision3 and IPTV

  09.26.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  Revision3 launched their new website tonight. Or relaunched I should say. Revision3 is an IPTV or vidcast network created buy digg.com co-founders Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson. The site has actually been around for quite some time, but has finally crossed over from the amateur ranks to become a full fledged corporate conglomerate. That may [...]

  A daughter's tribute speech

  Alright, so maybe I have a soft spot for little girls, but I thought this was very sweet. It’s Steve Irwin’s daughter giving a tribute speech at the Australia Zoo. I was a big Steve Irwin fan. Not because of what he did, but who he was. He will be missed.

  Which OS are you?

  09.19.06 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I took this little personality quiz which helped me to discover my inner OS (Operating System). I’m not really surprised by the results. Which OS are You? I love the last line in the description. Especially the part where it says “even desired”. So true, so true.

  WordPress widget; testing 1, 2, 3

  09.16.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I just installed a WordPress widget for my Macbook and I decided to give it a spin. If it works like it’s suppose to, I will be able to post messages a lot faster than going through the normal interface. Granted, I won’t be able do much text formatting. I also won’t be able to [...]

  Happy birthday blog

  Today, skyecade online is exactly 1 year old. Yay! They grow up so fast. This entry marks my 53rd post to this blog. That’s an average of 1 post per week (I figured this out using a mathematical equation which is far to complex to post here). One post per week is rather pathetic by [...]

  And I’m really looking forward to it! Get this, I’ve been sick now for exactly 3 weeks and 1 day. Yeah! I finally got off my stubborn ass and went to the doctor today. To top it off, life has been extra hectic the last couple of weeks. A nice relaxing weekend of watching TV [...]

  I had to post this. This is picture is 100% computer generated. Of course, if this was a really detailed computer generated picture of a sweaty lumberjack, chances are you wouldn’t find it on this blog. BTW, here is the artist’s step by step instructions on how he created this in Photoshop CS2. Pretty impressive [...]

  Amazon's Unbox service launched

  With Amazon’s Unbox service, you can purchase (or rent) movies and TV shows online and have them downloaded directly to your computer. Services like this will be the final blow to companies like Netflix and Blockbuster, not to mention the last surviving video store chains hanging on by a thread. These types of companies will [...]

  This is so obnoxious.

  I would definitely wear something like this. I picture myself walking down the street with a big glowing “LOSER” plastered across my chest. What happens if it rains out?
