Minding my own business, being told how I can surf

Like the subject line says, I was minding my own business. Taking a coffee break, reading up on the latest news on the Internet. Like a good web 2.0'er, I was checking my rss feeds using the cloud based google reader. To be buzz word compatible, I do hope that google reader is services based and built to conform to a services oriented architecture. But I digress.

If you look at the image below, I found a video clip in the GigaOM rss feed of Jon Stewart doing a lampoon of twitter (I think). Why do I think ?

Well the title looks appealing but once I click on the video clip to play it, I get told that I am a canadian and must derive my viewing pleasure elsewhere.

The global boundaryless Internet has boundaries and chinaesque restrictions, filters and controls. We shall see what the future unfolds.

How peculiar

Something is technically wrong and I am thanked for noticing it.


























And what do I get as my thank-you gift ?

A bit of my life, I guess. No lost time tweeting and being tweeted.

I am a light twitter. I wonder how often this happens. I read all about the growing pains that twitter is experiencing and the major money that they are raising to fix what ails them.


Heh, TWITTER

Need a battle scarred, experienced architect ? Call me in for a consult. What I don't know, I know people who do.

Best to leave me a comment here rather than send me a tweet.

neternity.org/neternity is alive

I haven't really said much there.

The concept is a novel one. It may fly, twitter did after all.

This is a follow-up post to one I made eons ago when I first stumbled across nEternity.org.

Good luck on your latest venture Imran.

Me, I hope it is a long time before I start thinking seriously about not living, surfing and living life both on the net and in body.

Happy Birthday

Now this is bizare

I installed itunes on the new (old) pc that will make it's way to the livingroom to serve up home videos on the hdtv. I wanted to turn on genius mode but got stopped because I needed 'harvesting' according to the itunes store. I thought 'harvesting' was an amazon thing.

Big boo-boo in the NHL

I'm not sure exactly when we saw this but it was in the last week or so.

The announcer said 'richarDson' but our minds heard 'this doesn't make sense'.


















A bit later in the game he got his 'D'.

There is a story here

As one wanders through the passage of time, one comes across things that seem out of the ordinary. Like this truck in a situation that begs for explaination.




















I do not know the answer,

but I have lot's of questions.
