Are you leet, is what I was asking. Leet is short for “elite”, and leetspeak is taking words and replacing them with characters and numbers. An example would be /\/\1cr0$()ft.
I saw a new online aggregator, “the best online aggregator ever…”, a day or two ago which is what prompted me to give the [...]

Today Apple introduced their new MacBook Pro and an update to the iMac model. These are the first two systems to use the Intel processors that Apple announced they are switching to back in June 2005.
A little history lesson. In 1978 Intel released the 8086 processor. This is the processor that “fathered” [...]

I’ve seen this story presented before. Basically, Boston’s Logan Airport has pay-for wifi access, which they gouge $7.95/day out of you. I know the size and importance of Portland Intl Airport is not that of Logan, but PDX has free wifi service throughout the airport.

As I mentioned earlier, Bloglines has pretty sucky recently. I’ve been looking to try out some other web-based RSS feed readers in hopes of finding something better.
A while back I talked (briefly) about Pluck. I looked into it again this evening, and there was something about the interface that I just couldn’t get [...]

The blogosphere is in need of some help. TypePad, a leading pay-for blogging service, has had repeated technical troubles because they’ve grown so big so quickly. And on the other side of the blogging spectrum, the web-based RSS syndication site Bloglines is having trouble of it’s own. This article from Slashdot asks [...]

Social bookmarking website del.icio.us just announced today that they’ve been purchased by Yahoo!. As you can see by the comments on the del.icio.us blog there are mixed reactions. Many congratulations for their “big payday”, and quite a few unhappy readers who are making plans to find a new web-based bookmarking utility.
I’ve had a [...]
