Chipping the web – right

Chipping the webThe sum of digital power: If you take each digit in the number 89, raise it to the power corresponding to its ordinal position, and sum the results (81 + 92), you get 89.

Apotheonic neologism: coderspace.

Bugger!

Shelley’s new startups.  See, Web 2.0 doesn’t have to be all about happy, smiley neighborhoods after all.

TDavid questions whether Skype should be building a gaming platform rather than keeping their game face on for call quality.

Hiding from Google (in a cave).

Apparently Shel, for one, welcomes our new Google overlords.

maxmnavarro, mad housewife, and Talk Aloha use my tag cloud widget.  Gracias!  Thanks!  Mahalo!
