Why is GMail still in beta?
I don’t really understand why GMail is still considered a beta application.
Years ago when I first joined GMail — right at the point where people were selling invites on eBay — it made sense as a beta. New members were limited by the number of invites that Google gave out, servers were being tested (I [...]
1982 in Pictures
Today I noticed OhMySeven has an oddly named post. Just a simple 1982. Having been born in 1982 I was curious. Evidently it’s one of those web games that goes around the blogging world. This one lists pictures found on a Flickr search of your birth year. Since I needed some content and because this [...]
Gravatars are Cool
You might be wondering what the little graphics are next to the various comments here on the blog. Some people have weird images and others have pictures of themselves — which are equally weird. My site, along with a large number of other blogs on the interwebs, support Gravatars. According to their site, Gravatars are [...]
This Stand is Your Stand, This Strand is My Strands
At some point I was given an invitation to join the Strands private beta. I’ve said before that I like to try out different web 2.0 sites and while most don’t stick on me, some do. So when I was given the invite I quickly joined.

Welcome to the Twitterhood
Awhile back, fellow blogger and quasi-internet personality, RachelSkirts posted the following comment on Twitter:
My dad vetoed the idea of me dating all of Twitter at once, so I’ve decided to make a Twitter ‘hood in Sims 2. @Favrd will be the town pimp.
The tweet quickly found it’s way to the top of the Favrd leaderboard [...]
Where the Hell is Matt?
My Twitter feed is starting to become my best source for finding interesting things scattered across the metaverse. Don’t worry, I’m not going to become one of those weird spammers “internet marketers” who attempt to follow everyone on Twitter in order to keep a finger on the pulse of the internet. I do, however, enjoy [...]
Why the new Facebook Sucks
If you’re a member of Facebook you might have noticed the bar atop every page lately announcing the “new Facebook.” If you haven’t clicked “try it now” then you should, just to see what a horrible mess the whole thing is. If you’re not that adventurous then just keep reading and see what you’re not [...]
Twitter Spammers Need Some Creativity
Twitter, the social network/microbloging site, is a very popular service. This, of course, means that it’s a ripe ground for spammers. Oh filthy spammers, how I loath ye. Anyway, I got an email this morning telling me I have a new Twitter follower. It was a spammer, though a very uncreative spammer. This is the [...]
Watch The Guild
This one’s going to take a bit of getting to the point, so bear with me.
During the last mission trip of the summer big waves were made in the internet TV world. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog, Joss Whedon’s latest creation, debuted for free for a limited time. Needless-to-say I missed that limited time. Instead I [...]
Anyone Remember Instant Messaging?
Earlier this evening I realized that I haven’t run Adium X in a very long time. In fact, the only time I can remember opening an instant messaging client was a few weeks ago when I was trying to help a coworker use iChat to video conference her friend. I don’t imagine I’m alone in [...]
