If you and your friends have problems gettings plans straight or even making them, Skobee fills your void. I’ve seen a lot of so called “web 2.0” site and this is one of the better concepts out there. Not sure if it will take off to the likes of flickr and digg, but this seems like one that could make it. It’s very social, but maybe it needs some ugliness to it to catch on like myspace 🙂 The big problem for newcummers right now is that there are so many new sites popping up that even really good ones may get left in the dust.

Linux gets a second life
Not a second life as in a cats 9 lives, but Second Life the Virtual playpen of many online escapes. So us fellow linux users now have a second life aside from IRC. Just think of it as IRC with better graphics 🙂

Where are the XBOX36o’s?
Ok, it’s march 6th where are the xbox 360’s in the stores? Shouldn’t they be readily availalable by now. The only things i’m seeing are 600-1000 bundles. Come on MS, your supply chains still sucks, i’ve waited this long, I might as well wait for the rest of the consoles to come out and see how they compare.
One less vice
Well am quitting smoking today, I will be more irritable, but my blog may benefit as I hope I will have a renewed energy for some tech projects. I’ve spent so much money and wasted so much time smoking over the last 10 years, i’m ready to put the nasty habit to sleep and start living a more healthy lifestyle. Wish me luck, if there are any former smokers out there, I would love to hear how you quit and how it has improved your life.
Would the real Alan Smithee please stand up?
So I just learned an interesting tidbit on IMDB while reading the MacGyver trivia.
“Alan Smithee is a common pseudonym for directors whose film was clearly taken away from her/him and recut heavily against her/his wishes in ways that completely altered the film.”
According to IMDB on MacGyver, “There were a number of episodes directed by Alan Smithee, a pseudonym commonly used by directors who don’t want their real names associated with a project.”
Basically a director can appeal to the Director’s Guild and if successful their name is replaced with Alan Smithee.
