- There are now more US World of Warcraft players than farmers - Can’t say I’m shocked, mostly just an eye-opener.
- How 9 tech companies burned through 2 billion dollars - etoys.com, pets.com, kozmo.com, go.com, etc… represented just about everything that was wrong in the early web. Glad you provided (costly) learning lessons for the rest of us.
- Pissed off customer calls Dell Tech Support - I think we all share his frustration.
Google’s Purchase of Jaiku Raises New Privacy Issues (NY Times)- Would you people shut up? This is all we’ve been hearing over the last couple weeks. Don’t you fear-mongers say this about every Google purchase? How about you focus on AT&T providing illegal wire-taps, Comcast making a boatload off wire-tapping, and the Bush administration seeking retroactive immunity for telcos which it admits have been breaking the law (why seek immunity if they haven’t been?). I trust Google a hell of a lot more than I trust our own government. That aside, Jaiku rocks, the only information Jaiku & Google will have is the information you choose to give it. Worried about privacy? Don’t use it. That simple.
- Just a link to some themes for a new Wordpress blog I’m thinking about starting
- BitTorrent Gets More Social with AllPeers - Social Bittorrent? This could get interesting. And hey… anything to make BT easier for the masses is great for the technology cause I cringe everytime I have to explain what it is or how to use it to a novice.
- Social.FM Signs Microsoft Deal, Launches New Client - Just came across this service. Free music + Smartphone client = me likey.
- List of 4-letter domain names - Sadly anything pronounceable is long gone, but there are still a few thousand left.

- Cowboys try to buy “cowboys.com” for $275 in an auction
- This is what happens when Lawyers invade the internet
- Feedburner + Wordpress how-to - With my recently upgraded blog, figured it was time to hook it up through feedburner. So, if you like want to use RSS to read my blog, subscribe to my feed.
- My Lifestream Pipe - I created what is essentially an aggregator for all my personal RSS feeds (blogs, microblogs, Netflix, Flickr, Picasaweb, etc…) and ran them all through a filter with Yahoo Pipes. While it appears to be somewhat buggy (varying results every run), it’s still pretty cool. I love yahoo pipes! At first I didn’t quite “get it” but knew the potential was there, but now it’s so easy to use and a very intuitive concept.

- Apple opening up the iPhone - Finally
- My Jaiku - Finally got an invite. Woo! I really like the concept of using their service as a RSS feed aggregator. I think I’ll still stick with Twitter for my microblogging for now.

- Hatebook - Reminds me a lot of Post Secret in that it gives you insight into random people’s biggest fears, regrets, and frustrations in life.
- rTorrent how-to - I keep needing to find that guide every now & then, so figured I’d save it here.
- twitter.com/derek - I just went through an added a bunch of friends and invited more. So follow me if you are on the site.
