Arsebook.org - Anyone Heard of It?
Monday, June 25th, 2007I just found Arsebook.org via Stumbleupon. Many of you social networkers will realize it looks strikingly similar to Facebook, except its red and has a different tag line:
Arsebook is an anti-social utility that connects you with the people YOU HATE.
I didn’t register since I’m afraid it’s just a big scam to get e-mail addresses, but […]

Why William Wallace Signifies the Web 2.0 Entrepreneur
Sunday, June 24th, 2007I’m not sure what made me think of this, but I was thinking about the Braveheart clip that I posted a couple days ago and I realized it can easily be related to the web 2.0 generation.
In today’s world, William Wallace is a Web 2.0 entrepreneur and the “Nobles” signify traditional business executives.
William Wallace […]
The Facebook Problem?? NOT
Sunday, June 24th, 2007Sure, Facebook is not perfect. Nothing is perfect. But I don’t see how people are jumping to the conclusion that there is a “Facebook problem.” Yes, Facebook is completely changing the internet — but it’s for the better in my mind.
For the record, I totally agree with Charlie.

Modern Web Design - Where is the Time Spent?
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007I “stumbledupon” this image and thought it was worth highlighting
From the little web design work I’ve done & from what I’ve heard from other developers, Internet Explorer is a bitch and a half to code for (especially IE 6). It’s fitting that the yellow section is close to a third of the total web design […]

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007Though I have never read Lawrence Lessig’s blog or heard of him, I ran across a inspirational post of his on Techmeme last night.

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007I just “stumbled upon” this great YouTube clip demonstrating leadership from Braveheart, arguably, the greatest move I’ve ever seen.

Post from MyBlogLog - What Defines A Great Community Member?
Sunday, June 17th, 2007I just found a great post by Robyn Tippins, MBL’s community manager, titled “What Defines A Great Community Member?” All of her points are extrmely relevant to anyone who participates in online communities.

Blogger Gets Ejected for Live Blogging an NCAA Baseball Game
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007You’ve got to be kidding me, this is just freakin absurd — the NCAA ejected a reporter for blogging a baseball game? Why — because it deems live blogging is a “live representation” of the game, which is supposedly prohibited by NCAA rules. Ludicrous if you ask me.
The Washington Post first reported the story.
