Isn't Digg like Facebook, Twitter, & MySpace? I'll have to check it
out. I refuse to join the others. Don't ask me why.

I have started doing that, but I resist posting. I have a habit of
responding with my opinion to EVERYTHING (I do that here, don't I?)
and I have to temper it. I've got to find a balance & maybe this
experience with help me with that!

Forums & me are a bad mix. They are addictive and I end up spinning my
wheels, arguing with boneheads who can't form a rational thought.
That's why I started a blog!

Yeah, in my day (10 years ago is ancient in tech years) this was the

the highest quality links - mostly because those the the sites that I
visit, like, and find relevant - so, I hope that will move me up on
the search engines. We'll see...
