Orkut

Now, keep in mind that I’m not the biggest fan of social software. I don’t really find it all that useful, but I didn’t say anything about Orkut while everyone else was talking about it, because I hadn’t ever actually tried it. Last night Josh was kind enough to send me an invite, so I decided to go ahead and sign up and try it out for myself. Keeping in mind that my expectations going into this are very low, we’ll see over the next few weeks whether it does anything to change my impression of social software. If nothing else perhaps it’ll help me find a few more interesting blogs to read. If it does that, I won’t consider it a waste of time, if it does anything more than that, I might just come to veiw it as useful..:)

  • Speaking of laptops

    You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have…

    I’ve been away from the PC most of the weekend and just catching up now, so you may know about the new Gmail features already, but I just want to say, I’ve been waiting and waiting for the ability to export my contacts, so I’m one happy dude now that it’s here. Tags: Gmail Follow…

  • War pigs

    Why War Pigs? Because that’s the song that’s been stuck in my head since about 3AM yesterday morning. It was planted there by our neighbors, who normally we hardly ever hear a peep out of and are really nice guys. I’m guessing they celebrated the New Year a little harder than usual and for some…
