I am trying to absorb every social network, instant messaging app, and blog/journal/forum system recommended by anyone that passes my way.

Surface, Natal, PS3 Motion, oh my! Seems everyone is going alternate controller this year at E3. Even the Zune HD got a multitouch facelift.

It's always amazing to me when big sites go down for extended periods. Lost SourceForge for the majority of the afternoon. Database issues.

I have always wanted to do a project like this, but to different ends. Check out the UW's TextRunner search: http://snipr.com/k0sv2

OK, now the Nordstrom website is down. I don't want to make my tweets all about website outages, but they seem to be becoming more common.

I can't decide if I'm happy or sad that MS is finally getting things right. Bing, Natal, Surface, Win7... it's all looking really promising.

I am in love with Windows 7 RC. Other than limited graphics card support (make sure you have a WDDM capatable card) it is just beautiful.

My must-have software kit: VS.NET/SQL, CorelDraw, Office (MS or Open), Vuse, DaemonTools, WinRAR, Digsby, Minefield, Chrome, Acrobat, Sonar

Either since moving to Win7 or its last update, Digsby has been inaccurately reporting my # of POP3 emails. Still can't live without it.

Trying to decide what tech to show off web chops in this day and age. Web2.0 features and Ajax of course, but that is almost old hat...

After claiming that I would not remember what I did without Wolphram Alpha I have yet to go back and use it. Win7 calc has unit conversion.

Having a browser dillemma. I like each for different reasons. IE=necessary evil; Chrome=slick & unsupported; FireFox=maybe the happy medium.

It appears many people have my problem with Chrome's tabs undocking too easily. It relates to not capturing mouse up when the browser lags.

Twitter app for Facebook. This looks dangerous.

I have a free Terabyte now. What to do with that? Only a few years ago I could only dream of having my own Terabyte. Now it's $100 at Fry's.

Ok. I can make Twitter update Facebook status, but what I need is for Twitter to post to a Fan page... and to MySpace while it's at it.

Well, Windows 7 RTM (release) just posted to the torrent-sphere. Should I bother? Could it really be any better than RC1 with updates?
