Blogged with Flock

Well I’m back on the Flock wagon again.  I fell off a while ago but now I’m back.  Why?  What’s so different this time?  For starters it’s rev 0.9, which is big!  And this means that most of the little bugs that I was, sadly, to lazy to work around or deal with have been fixed.  Also I’ve begun to wander the social online world a little more these days.  So the features that Flock has to offer me are now more attractive. 

I am really very pleased with this latest release.  I’m currently using the Windows version and I have yet to have anything to complain about.  Well except for the limited number of extensions but … I never used very many of them in Firefox so I’m not really missing much.  Plus all the extensios I was using are now built into Flock so I’m set.  In fact this post is writen from with in Flock.  I’ll start experiementing with Flock’s neater features soon and will let you all know how that goes.

Fascinating article featuring more complex ideas about the mind and how we interact with the world around us and more importantly how we print it in consciousness.

San Jose Mercury News - San Jose Semaphores message atop Adobe building is . . .

FINALLY! I’ve been guessing at this for months.  I had given up and thought of it as ‘merely’ really cool art.

Its Knuttz - Toothpick and Nails Art

Totally cool looking artwork made with nails and tooth picks.  I’m personally more impressed with the nail version. But then again I’m biased to Da Vinci works.

Atomic Madhouse

Let your inner comic nerd loose with these kick a** shirts!  Or maybe you want to revisit the early batman live action tv show memories. Either way it’s a good excuse to wear BLAM! on your chest.

Pearl Jam Blasts AT&T For Cut Lyrics In Lollapalooza Webcast — Censorship — InformationWeek

Pearl Jam talks about the whole weird incident.

A matter of faith and where it lives

Because computers have nothing better to do.

In the weird world of ‘manga’ walks the Peanuts crew.

Intimate Controllers

This is somewhere between news of the weird and kinda cool.
