The Ad Banner is Dead
The Ad Banner is Dead! Long Live the Ad Banner!
It seems like the number of popup-window ads that hit my screen is doubling every day. I'm not sure what I find more annoying yet, ads that popup when I go to a site, or when I leave it.
We've gotta pay for all this crap somehow, right?
(Yes Wes, micropayments are the way it should be... :-))

If only Fox Sports was half as good as its commercials.

RE: Poll, Should Jim to to MacWorld?
I don't think I'll be going to MacWorld SF this year, even though I really want to. There are a number of boring reasons that I'll spare you from reading. I have until tomorrow to make a final decision, but I don't think it will change between now and then.
Thank you to everyone that participated in Friday's poll. It really did help!

3DFX to be sold to NVIDIA
Big News in the graphix card biz (Yahoo): 3DFX Announces Three Major Initiatives to Protect Creditors and Maximize Shareholder Value (PR) -- "Board of Directors Initiates Cost-Cutting Measures, Recommends to Shareholders Sale of Company Assets to NVIDIA Corporation for $112 Million and Dissolution Of Company"
Snowing...
It's currently snowing (heavily) in Victoria. I imagine there's going to be quite a lot of it on the ground by morning.
Now would be the time to take advantage of the situation and get Cyan out in the snow like I mentioned I was hoping to do with her this year. As fate would have it, she has a nasty cold right now.
Sigh.
