nano nano

I'm a little late jumping on the Apple gizmo trolley, but I finally got an iPod. OK, I didn't get it - it was given to me. For Valentine's Day. By some guy that likes me, I suppose. It's an iPod nano, because I've been going on and on about how could I possibly fill up one of those things because I don't listen to a whole lot of music and I already have 20 gizmos to keep me occupied on the plane every other week already.

Well, I didn't think about the whole podcast thing, so now I have to constantly delete stuff to fit more crap on there that I will never get around to hearing because it's 6 days of audio bliss at my hands, but anyway... A colleague of mine inisted that I subscribe to net@nite so I could learn about something called PageFlakes, which at first I thought was really cool, but now I don't know. I can't figure out how it's all that much better than any other bookmarking thing. It's like having a customized home page, but I never had a need for one before, so why would I want one now? My homepage was always the Google search engine and I never had any desire to get away from that. If I needed to get to another frequently visited website, I would just bookmark it. Maybe I haven't figured out how to fully take advantage of all that PageFlakes has to offer. Whatever. I just want to keep a little up on the whole Web 2.0 thing and this net@nite seems to fit that bill. That and Wired Magazine, my new must-see mag. And for the love of Christ, don't ask me what Web 2.0 is. And don't ask anybody else either - it'll be like teaching a pig to sing and you'll just get overloaded with buzz words and bullshit.

So if you want to check out PageFlakes and let me know why it's all that and a bag of chips, that would be great. Or, if you see any reason to Pagecast (that's right, you heard me), I'm all ears. I will say this: it was easy to start throwing things together and I now have a PageFlakes home page, and probably will forever because now I'm going to be too lazy to get rid of it, until the next great thing comes along.
