Where are the Wedding Photos?
I’m sorry that it’s taking so long to put the wedding photos online. We’re having a difficult time selecting a few hundred favorites from the 3,850 that we have received. Rest assured, we will have the photos online eventually, hopefully some time this month.
No Makeup While Driving
The state of California has finally banned the usage of handheld cell phones while driving, which brings me to this important question: When will the state ban people from applying makeup while driving? Seriously, how can a person applying mascara while driving possibly be considered safer than a person talking on a cell phone while driving?
Renting Movies
Despite the allure of “the big screen”, I still enjoy renting movies on DVD. We just watched two movies in the privacy of our own home for less than the price of a single movie ticket. How can you beat that?
Yasu 2.5.5 Public Beta
Jim is getting ready to release Yasu 2.5.5, but he’s looking for some quality feedback on the public beta first. If you’re a fan of Yasu and you enjoy testing betas, download the public beta of Yasu 2.5.5 now and start sending your feedback to Jim.
Tom is Selling his Share of CIX
Tom is selling his share of CIX, “Ireland’s newest and Greenest data center.” Tom’s upcoming move to Spain will greatly interfere with his ability to significantly contribute to the development of CIX, so he is currently looking to sell his share to someone who can “commit serious time to further growing CIX’s business (and therefore their investment).” If there’s anyone out there looking to be a part of a well-publicized data center in Europe with a “strong focus on energy efficiency,” now is your chance to shine!
Tom Launches Lower (Carbon) Footprint
Tom announced the launch of Lower (Carbon) Footprint earlier today. Lower (Carbon) Footprint is Tom’s new blog dedicated to “Green issues”. Tom has often used his main blog, Tom Raftery’s Social Media, to express his views on environmental issues, energy efficiency and carbon offset, so this veteran blogger’s decision to launch a separate blog should come as no surprise. If you want to learn more about lowering your carbon footprint, subscribe to Lower (Carbon) Footprint today!
Joen Launches Deskvu
Joen announced the launch of Deskvu earlier this morning. Deskvu is Joen’s new free wallpaper website. It’s already packed with several astounding wallpapers from Mr. Asmussen himself, and it looks like he will be accepting high-caliber wallpapers from other artists some time in the near future.
Happy New Year
Today, the cumulative annual status is 2008.
Happy New Year!
The New Batman Trailer
The new trailer for Batman: The Dark Knight is now online, featuring plenty of footage and dialogue from the upcoming film. I would give a brief review of the trailer, but it would just be a repeat of what Joen has already said, so I’ll repeat it with emphasis instead. ”Great take on the Joker, but [very] annoying that Batman’s love interest was re-cast instead of re-placed.”
