Kevin CostainWhile watching a recent episode of Jon Stewart – Jon was interviewing Jerry Seinfeld. The interview wasn’t a question-answer type process, it was more of a free flowing conversation.. one thing Jerry says is how unattractive the word “blog” is. I have to say, I agree, the word does sound like something you would spit up or something you could say instead of the word puke: “I just ate jello and it made me blog all over the carpet!”.
Jon Stewart’s archives are online
In a move that I think is going to be analyzed to death over the next little while – Jon Stewart’s Comedy Central show is now completely online at thedailyshow.com. This is without a doubt the best example of a company “getting it” with regards to new media. The online database of clips (said to number in the range of 13,000) is fully indexed and streams very reliably.
From the funny , but not supposed to be funny movie Dept.
I just checked out a trailer for a new movie called “Untraceable”. The movie follows a CyberCrime investigator as she tries to solve a case based on an untraceable website. What I love/hate about these technology-type movies is how they use technology and possibly fear of it as a means of creating tension. The problem with most of them though is how wrong they get it. There is a scene in the trailer where the bad guy is in her car’s back seat, but he had to “Hack into her car’s computer” first to shut it down… haha… he’s such a geek..
Drop the Double-ewe, double-ewe, double-ewe?

When you think of it, it does seem kind of pointless to use www. nowadays. Why do we type those three letters anyway?
What do you take with your coffee?
It’s an answer we all know, heck, we’re all probably drinking a Tim Horton’s coffee right now :) I wonder if you ever stopped to give it a thought to how the simplest of decisions can define you?
Working with Windows Vista PE (2.0)
I was intrigued to find that a new version of Windows PE had been released and it was labeled as 2.0 or “the Vista version” if you will. One of the biggest enhancements that I could see was the hot plugging of USB devices… so I went looking for it..
