Just as I was reminiscing about the good ol' times of Web 1.0, Yahoo Chat, my email pen pals, and all the new people I met online as I entered college, here's another service that is biting the dust: Geocities.Way back when, before I paid for my own website, I designed and published my website on Geocities. The URL was somewhat obscure like geocities.com/starTrek/Sector/7440/username. You essentially

Here's an interesting thought. Back in the early days of the internet, when Joe Shmoe wanted to have an internet presence, he needed to code in HTML, get some web space and have his website hosted. As that average Joe, I created my site first with Geocities's site builder, then through HTML, and eventually through RapidWeaver.Of course the question now is do we need to spend money on a hosting service?

I saw this on slashdot the other dayIt's more than 10 years since people started making a living writing web page markup, yet the job title (and role) has yet to settle down.

The one that you waited for a week or so to show up to its destination.

This is pretty interesting. I saw the terminator season finale last week and I was quite amazed. On the one hand the series can end now and it will not be a major cliffhanger. Sure we don't know where John Henry went with Cameron's chip and John was been transported to the future where no one seems to know who he is but I see this as a setup for a sequel series or a series of movies (or comic books

I saw this image on the FAIL blog a week ago and I thought I should share it with you.It reminds me of a story a friend once told me of his/her actions while drunk thinking that he/she was a merman/mermaid(articles are intentionally both male and female to protect the identity of the friend) :-)

I was reading an article on Engadget a while back that said that the Sony MYLO is only available in refurbished form. I am wondering is Sony is going to just axe the line, or if they are going to really put some umph behind it, rework the OS, make it more developer friendly and add GSM/HSPA in it!There is certainly precedent for this.
