Steve?... not Jobs nor Wozniak... but... BALLMER!!!
Steve Ballmer still cracks me up everytime I watch this commercial from way back. Probably because he reminds me of myself when caffeinated.
If you're interested in the recent history of computing, I recommend watching Triumph of the Nerds.

Marathon for 2007... choices, choices, choices...
A little bit of disappointing news via email today:
Thank you again for applying for the ING New York City Marathon 2007. I am sorry to inform you that, unfortunately, you were not selected in the random lottery drawing. I wish we could accept everyone, but we have to limit the size of the field to ensure a top-quality experience - and I hope you get to experience it yourself one day!
Anybody have suggestion for fall/winter marathon?
Tops on my list right now are:
Niagra Fall marathon - It starts in one country and ends in another. Interesting indeed.
Honolulu Marathon - It's in Hawaii!

2 spaces
I still put 2 spaces after the period in my sentences. Remnants of the typewriting age. Remember typewriters kids?
Techie bits
I've been getting a lot of my information feeds via podcasts and Google reader(RSS). CNET.com has a lot of great tech-oriented podcasts. I'm currently hooked on Buzz Out Loud. Check it out techie friends at bol.cnet.com. No, I'm not getting any money posting this.
Google Reader is a definite time-saving "lifehack" for me right now. Instead of going through all the websites I frequent and see what is new, I just fire up the reader all the updates. It's only recently that I realized that even RSS readers can eat up a lot of your time. This lifehack needs a lifehack.
Anybody seen the new iPhone commercials? Seems like stuff I can do with my Nokia N73 sans touch screen. I read it won't have 3G or EDGE (feel free to correct if I'm wrong). That's a definite deal-breaker for me. Anyone out there on the new At&T (formerly Cingular) please do let me know if it's worth the price once it comes out.
