Nice high level overview of Service Oriented Architecture, in less than 3 minutes (after the annoying ad).

Plenty of other good stuff on this site as well.

Thanks to Jenny for the heads up!

Bill Gates goes to college

OK, it is old, but if you have not seen Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite together, you should.

Oh for the good old days of Microsoft Bob.

Brand protection gone bad

Sometimes, even if you are right, it ain't right... for example, the Red Cross debate

StarOffice

StarOffice is now part of Google's "Google Pack" offering.

Now sure how this blends with the whole Google Apps thing - not at all is my first guess. I downloaded my first copy of StarOffice on a 28.8 modem connection and enjoyed all that an hour plus download had to offer.

I love broadband. Nice reminder why.

101 - BitTorrent

Nice, tidy BitTorrent overview from Wired.

Redmond Ink

For the geek who has everything, a Blue Screen of Death tattoo.

Sponge Ed

So... here is the blending of Spongebob and Iron Maiden's Eddie.

Different.

What would be stranger? Charlie Brown blended with Freddie Kruger? Smurfs and Nancy Grace?

Space ranging

I had mentioned Photosynth in my blog in the past.

I was struggling to see a "killer app" for this. Not sure the following example is it... but it is way cool if you are into NASA at all... Space World

Baseball map

Very cool map that summarizes baseball fan alignment. I wish the White Sox territory was larger, but can't really argue with it.

10 worst Sci-Fi shows ever

Stroll down memory lane and see how many of these Sci Fi clunkers you recall. Pretty good list (I had totally blotted Quark from my memory), but what about:

1. The Planet of the Apes series
2. The Star Wars holiday show
3. Mork and Mindy (kinda Sci Fi????)
