News flash

Anyone else get the buzz that cheney is stepping down for health reasons?

I have paid for my haste

So back in december I decided I needed a new phone, I was having problems with my old nokia and it was just time to move on. I wanted to get the motorola L7, but to get it unlocked was about $400 bucks, so I settled for the lesser, but similar L6. Let's just say I feel dumb now cause the L7 is out on cingular, and it's quadband and it's $50 bucks less than what I paid for my L6 :( SLVR iTunes - at Cingular Wireless Now I have to decide to take the plunge again, and just save this other phone for Europe

Really ironic tshirt

I'll post pictures to share my bearded glory with the world, but this time I'm gonna make a better go of it than last time. It's been about 2 weeks now and it's really coming in. I figure in a month or so it'll be as thick as it's gonna get. Unfortunately it looks a little terrorific, but it does give me a couple years.

Portals, back again

For a while the big buzz of the internet was all about portals and personalized start pages. Yahoo emerged as the portal king with myYahoo, but after the buzz is gone a lot more interesting with rss letting you create pages with content from wherever the hell you want. My personal choice is personalized google, but ItsAStart.com is another great one with a good look. With rss the portal is really reduced to just a display framework, so it'll be interesting to see if yahoo can still hold it's territory
