Bill Gates' last day CES 2008 video

This is hilarious, it is a mockup of what Bill's last day at Microsoft will consist of:

What is Web 2.0?

I always was curious what the phrase "Web 2.0" was. I always thought it was Ajax kind of things (like when you "dugg" something on Digg, how it would fade to the text "Dugg!" without reloading the page), but I guess its more than that, like Social based stuff, but I digress to this website, an excerpt here:

"Web 2.0 is white hot at the moment, and not just because of the hype, but because of the insane amount of stuff that's being built for it right now.

I know, I know. It sounds like the Cluetrain Manifesto all over again. Well, it kinda is.

Except that it's actually happening today all over the place and you can use it now (see BaseCamp, BackPack, del.icio.us, Flickr, Kiko, DropCash, Meebo, AjaxOffice, Bindows and dozens of others if you're not sure.)

Of course, VCs have latched onto Web 2.0 big time and that's fueling fears of a new bubble. But this only obscures the real value in it.

I've been closely examining O'Reilly's Web 2.0 meme map and it really is a set of interlocking, reinforcing concepts. The more I study the Web 2.0, the more I realize this visualization is key.

Picture of the Day!


I know its early in the day, but I've had my Cherry Coke and I'm ready to go!! Haha anyways, without further adieu' here's the picture.


Kind of boring possibly, but I was trying to keep with the theme of Lanterns, so I thought this looked kind of Zen.

Windows Mobile 7, AKA iPhone Interface Rip-off


Coincidence? Look at these pictures of the rumored (though not proven, could be fake) images of the next Windows Mobile Platform. It looks almost identical to the iPhone's software. Multitouch as well. Why can't Microsoft be innovative and not a bunch of copycats? Props to them on the XBOX 360 and Zune though. I really do think the Zune is cool because of its integration with XBOX 360 stuff. anyway here's the Article. Also a few pics. Thanks Engadget

Photo of the Day



Here is a Zen Lantern that I have in my summer Zen Garden/Water Garden. I use it to signify certain things such as Tea drinking at night time, opening of the pond for the year and closing of the pond (or closing of Summer, when school is upon us)
