I couldn’t help but to click through to a post with the title of “How Google Failed Its Users and Gave Birth to an Internet Meme“, but reading the post, I have to say that Mike is way off the mark here. His main point is that when users typed “Facebook login” into Google, they shouldn’t have gotten RWW, but Facebook:
While we mock those users, the simple fact is they haven’t necessarily failed, something failed them. With all of our talk about the semantic Web and search engine optimization and [...]

I found out that my video camera can do interval recording! So I set it to record one frame every second. Now when you play it back at 30 frames/second you get the fast forward look.
So I don’t really type that fast, but I wish I did!

This morning Alex Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks and Premier Gordon Campbell kicked off the seven annual Spirit of 2010 Hockey Tournament, but after Premier Campbell met and chatted with the parents of the young players on the ice, he appears to be looking for a new post-Premier gig:
Looks like he’s trying out to be the next Canucks mascot. What do you think?

Not that I will, I think folks in Victoria have a rather low opinion of pirates, but these videos were sent to me by a friend and should help you if you choose to speak in pirate today:
Oh and don’t forget pirate pickup lines if you happen to be going out tonight.
While I thought this Gnomedex was awesome, I think other folks didn’t. Chris took some big risks with this year’s conference. No, I didn’t like all the speakers, but I respect Chris for trying to shake things up a bit. Like I said, I had a great time and will be back next year.
All the previous said, I think there is some room for humour … so we have Gnomestock from Kosso and from Randy Gnomedexmen.
If we can’t laugh at ourselves…

Not surprisingly the "Which Superhero are you?" meme has now turned to the dark side.? Now which super villain are you?? I saw on Jason Calacanis' blog that he's Lex Luthor, I guess it should come as no surprise that I lean towards Dr. Doom.? I don't think I'm that vain, but I suppose as a flip-side to Spidey, it makes sense.
Your results:You are Dr. Doom

Spiderman.? Of course, like Jason Calacanis (Green Lantern) you probably would have guess which Superhero I would be. Interestingly Michael Arrington is also Green Lantern, Dave Winer is Iron Man (I can see that) and Steve Rubel is Superman (yeah, sure … mild-manered PR blogger by day …).? Hey Robert … which Superhero are you?
I've always had a connection with Peter Parker.? Geeky guy, smart, nice, gets bitten by a radioactive spider and … But then before learning the mantra "with great power comes great responsibility", screws up and that [...]
