| A quote that predicted
the impact of the internet and one that
will make you laugh: |
|
Right now, they're working on a graphical
interface to the internet. Pretty soon,
people will be able to just click with their
mouse and browse around from virtual place
to virtual place, document to document,
datum to datum. The result will be a boundless
information resource that will be idiot-proof
to use. Great. Idiot-proofing the internet
just guarantees that every idiot will use
it.
-- Playboy Magazine, circa 1994
(back when it was illegal to use the
internet for commercial purposes.)

Turns out that this section has been deprecated, thanks
in part by the advent of Web2.0. Now, various best-of-breed
services take place of certain functionalities that I had
to write from scratch in the past. When somebody does it
better, easier, or cheaper... you let them do it.

Photos:
I've migrated all my photo galleries
to the wonderful services of
SmugMug.
I will no longer be sending (or logging here) notifications
when I send new images up to my galleries.

Blog:
I keep some immediate thoughts, commentaries, and tech
info on
StichBLOG (mostly Microsoft software development
topics.) It's really not integrated into this site yet
and actually runs from a coat closet in my apartment.
- Background:
There's is an excellent "identity claiming"
site that I stumbled upon called
ClaimID.
It is meant to merely stake out and publish/present
information related specifically to your personal identity;
and does a good job of it. Besides giving some life
milestones in the background section, it is the portal
to all of my root links that "are me" (MySpace,
FaceBook,
YouTube, etc. presences as well as a couple of commercial
sites that I developed/maintain. These base links, of
course, splay out to an uncountable amount of additional
related links.) Therefore my background link just refers
you to
my identity page on ClaimID.
- Links:
I'm relatively late onto the social bookmarking scene,
but
my recent obsession with metadata has driven me
to start compiling stuff that interests me publicly
online.
