I’ve been of the exact same mind as this article. Managing friends in Facebook is simply too hard. I enjoy making connections with people, even people who are ancillary friends, like many coworkers or former classmates.
I’ve added so many lite connections, that my true friends and loves are missing out. There are a lot of privacy options in Facebook, but none of...

Q: Muxtape Is Back? →
Just played with the new muxtape. Y’know’d be great? I any user could upload 10-12 tracks and share it with friends as a mixtape. This would be a very sexy way to share my favorite tracks with friends.

A: If by back, you mean that it has morphed into yet another flash-based means for bands to pimp their songs, then yeah, sure, I guess it’s back.

Let's talk about comics
Sometime in the next week, I’ll be picking up some of these comic drawers to help make the hundreds (over a thousand?) of comics Shannon and I own easier to organize and accessible.
Here’s a few opinions on some books I’ve been reading or have stopped reading:

Netbook Options
Please help me make a decision.
I want to purchase a netbook for the upcoming conference season as well for something quick and easy I can toss into a backpack for on the go web surfing. Netbooks are small on purpose. Many of them have solid state drives (think if a giant SD card) to help reduce the weight, making it even more portable. They also can run open source OS’s, eliminating the...
Despite feeling relatively less stressed, I still have a small, nagging urge to smoke. STAY STRONG!
