smax, here's a tech prediction you should add to yours.

Nicely done.  I am working on my tech predictions, but I'm trying to go a little deeper than the touchscreen revolution...

speaking of tech predictions, here's a story in line with this month's Wired cover:

Do you know where your kid is? Check Google's maps

as with all things google: could be cool, could be scary...

  I am slightly irritated that their website is down and it appears you must actually go to the store to see whats onsale.  That said, with a Best Buy downtown and no Circuit City.....for i dont even know where there is one.  I might hit it up sometime in late Feb to see if i can grab a deep discount.

Might be time to stop by again....

i'm gonna go with scary. . .let me just say that the number of people who are willing to volunteer away their privacy is kind of bewildering to me. . .and i think the wired editor who wrote about making himself available only scratches the surface of that (although it is amusing that one of the first people he talked with was looking for sex). . .google has even more areas that it's looking to take on.

I laugh every time I see that picture. I don't know why, but it makes me laugh.

You seem to forget - I, unlike you, am not having girls.

I'd put this my flog, but suspect smackie gets better viewership ratings then I....

Hollywood, Mon Amour is the new project from the producer behind Nouvelle Vague, where this time they do reworked versions of music from 80's movies.  Several singers are on board for this one including Skye from Morcheeba doing a cool version of Blondie classic "Call Me".  Expect the album in March...

Kosmo, that might replace my current favorite song:

Soko - I'll Never Love You More

**EMERGENCY IMPULSE BUY PAGE FOR SMACKIE**

thoughts?

i've been on the lookout for netbooks for a while, this seems too cheap to pass up... i can get a 7% corproate discount at dell, but it doesn't bring the mini down to this range
