"Whoops! It looks like we got duped. It seems that this list of 20 originally was posted at MacNN as part of an April Fool's joke."

Ahhhhhh!!! talk about let down. Anyway, read it cos it's pretty cool.

B.T.W: MADDOX, mofo...uhh!

Just thought I'd mention this site in case none of you have seen it before - It's LITERALLY THE BEST PAGE IN THE UNIVERSE.

Superficial feed Surfing

I've realized that ever since I started using Netvibes as my home page my surfing habits have changed somewhat.

Instead of doing a deliberate search for something or even going to a specific site and reading through it, I'm scanning all my feeds, opening interesting ones up in new tabs and then reading each tab really, really quickly. This isn't even speed reading - its speed skimming. I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot of the content but I think I'm usually picking up the gist of the article and this way I can get through more content in less time. Then, if I find something that interests me, instead of reading through it I save it to the hard drive for later reading - presumably when I'm bored.

So, in questioning this method I'm actually realizing that what I'm doing is just like reading the paper. You're not looking for anything specific, just keeping up with news.

I still get that feeling that I have to keep up with all the feeds though. Too much to keep up with!!! Don't know where to start... or end!!!

Anyway, I guess the answer is to just make mental notes of things I want to research and then set aside time for just that - and avoid the FEED DISTRACTIONS!!!!

I'm addicted to feeds.

addicted to information

I wonder, is it possible to be addicted to information? If so, I think I might be - at least addicted to the internet. Lately, if I don't get to check all the feeds of the blogs and sites I frequent, I feel like I'm not keeping up with shit. I feel a strong need to keep my ear to the ground or my finger on the pulse of tech or whatever. I always want to see what the next big thing or technology is going to be - or at least try to predict it.

If you too want to get addicted to the internet, go to Netvibes, set up an account and add some feeds (make sure you add http://del.icio.us/rss/popular) this is the shit. It's basically a list of the most popular bookmarks added to de.icio.us and why I like it is because I think most of the people who use delicious have definitely got their ears to the ground so I fell like I'm in good company.

I've noticed lately that I'll read something on the net and then a couple of days later I'll see the same story on cnn or something. Things are definitely changing. I think the net now comes out with new storys first and then tv news channels catch up a few days later. b.t.w, if these posts don't make much sense, its because I mostly write them late at night - basically, they're brain farts.

actually, I think I'm just writing this to keep track of my thoughts - so you can disregard most of it, it's not meant for public consumption.

that's it.

this is big, very big!

Yup, it had to happen, I didn't think it would happen this soon, but maybe due to recent successful hacking exploits, Apple decided to let people install Windows XP on their new macs with intel chips. The software that's required is called Bootcamp and it will dynamically create two partitions on your intel mac and allow you to dual boot.

This is gonna make things very interesting from now on as more pc users will think about trying macs seeing that they get the best of both worlds. Now the only thing that could make it more interesting, is if Apple lets you install their operating system on pc's!

changes everything.

SAPS up again

mmm... ok the South Africa Police Service Site seems to be up again. Maybe they saw my post;)

Anyway, I was thinking about something else recently (CommandN talked about something very similar happening in London) which involves taking pictures of things and sending it to your police station to alert them. CommandN said you can now take pictures of Graffiti, rubbish and other stuff, email it (or send it with your phone) to the police service and they'll take care of it. AWESOME!!!

I was thinking the same thing while driving around town (Cape Town) and taking note of all the traffic violations that were happening. (about 1 a minute)

Imagine if you could send pictures of these violations to your traffic service and they follow it up with perhaps a warning or even a fine. And maybe, just maybe there could be some sort of incentive in it for YOU... like a share of the fine!

That would really get everyone behaving on the roads. Maybe you could even take videos of people speeding and they could figure out how fast the person was going from the markings on the road as the car travels over them.

I would definitely take this up as my second job. I would just drive around town the whole day taking pictures of taxis who make up traffic regulations as they go along.

THE ENDING
