I’ve converted my wife, my mother in law, potentially a Lutheran priest and now Wayne Porter.  Ubuntu will never be the same again after Wayne gets through with it.  What have I done?

I need to send him a hat 🙂

My old IBM Thinkpad X40 (story below) now sports this O/S and it screams like a bat out of hell (you might try Ubuntu 6.06 if your PC is rather dated)….so far so good…. I feel like I have been unplugged from the matrix and spat out into a giant toilet bowel of jelly slime…now I wonder if it can push Second Life? Doubt it. I do feel some machinima widgets coming on though.

Opinions From My Space

NPR : Creating Our Own Happiness

I believe we have the power to create our own happiness. I believe the real magic in the world is done by humans. I believe normal life is extraordinary – Wayne Coyne

I love the Flaming Lips and Wayne Coyne.

I want “Do You Realize?!?” played at my funeral, btw.

Wayne and Jon … install Ubuntu so that we can start a Guild.  Forget Second Life, this is where the action is (literally!)…

Just did a podcast interview with Fraser Edwards of affiliatemarketingblog.co.uk on widgets, web2.0, affiliate networks and all things online marketing.

Fun stuff and should be a good listen…

Mom just sent this over on email…

“It thundered in the winter time yesterday so that means so said papa carroll that it will snow or sleet within two weeks we will see.”

I don’t even feel like writing today at CostPerNews.

It’s not burn out or disillusionment… it’s just my own reservations about the place becoming something other than a blog. Is it already too late? I’m having to watch my tongue there and keep on the correct side of the line.

Is there room for honesty when you have paid placements, or do the people paying (and reading) want honesty?

I’m guessing they do since they are consciously reading a blog and not Business Week or Revenue.

Still… it doesn’t get any easier as time goes on.

Where did it all go wrong?

Affiliate marketing, especially.  So much promise and potential there.  So much good that can and should be done with such a powerful, democratic and individualistic platform.

Stupid money.

Someone restore my faith in marketing (online or offline) … please?

Wayne is thinking of switching one of his boxes over to Ubuntu.

What are you waiting for, Wayne?? Even Anna uses it and seems to like it. At least her laptop is much quicker than it ever was with XP and she can do (just about) anything with it that she could do with Windows. Most of all, it’s fun to watch her play with tarballs, sudo apt-gets and compilers.

That’s what technology is for… playing.

And when did your blog become a splog? Geez, man. 🙂
