View Article  Web 4.0? (And The Onion Gets It Right As Usual)
This story about Web 4.0 (I don't know about you but I'm still trying to get my head around Web 2.0!) reminded me of a hilariously prescient Onion article titled "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades!

Here's the TechCrunch reference to Web 4.0 that got the linked author all lathered up (there, I tied the two themes together!)  For those keeping score:
Web 1.0 - The Information Web
Web 2.0 - The Social Web
Web 3.0 - The Semantic Web
Web 4.0 - The Intelligent Web (in ~20 years according to the poster linked above)

And while I'm at it, I think I've already figured out Web 5.0:



(MetaFilter has a thread on five blades but nothing on Web 4.0 yet as far as I could tell.)

View Article  "All My Hard Work Out The Window"
...is what Shea said when she caught me feeding Pace chips while watching the hockey game last night.  (At least she didn't catch me giving him sips of beer!)

View Article  10 Things Every Adult Should Know
So I've had this list of "10 Things Every Adult Should Know" kicking around for a few weeks, never sure when to post it.  I really like a lot of what the guy says...

8. You have no right to be proud, unless you did it yourself. That goes for anything from racial pride to patriotism. Your race, gender and nationality are fucking accidents of birth. Being proud of something you got stuck with when mamma squeezed you out is stupid. You have a right to be proud of your own personal accomplishments, and perhaps those of your children (if you were actually a good parent, and your kids didn't succeed by sheer bloody-mindedness alone). That's it. Your parents fucked, Mom got knocked up, and ~9 months later, there you were. Race, gender and nationality handed to you out of some cosmic lottery machine. Fuck your white pride, black pride, national pride, and all the horseshit that goes along with it.

...but the obsession with anal sex (two of the ten items, three if you count the one about "if you have sex, you will get pregnant" as some sort of subtle pro-anal message, are about bum sex) sort of takes away the impact of the foul-mouthed but otherwise accurate points in the other 7/10 of the list. 

(via Reddit though I've long since lost the link to the thread with comments.)
View Article  One Year Anniversary = Nap
Yesterday was my one year anniversary with Southeast Regional.  I was going to a post to celebrate the fact...but then I just went to bed early.  The last year's flown by but I think that has more to do with Pace than the job.  (Last night wasn't much better - Pace was up and down, waking up screaming, spinning and flipping all night long.)

Speaking of Pace, he's finally said his first "real" non-"da-da", "ma-ma" word yesterday.  I've got a video clip of it up here.
My web site dedicated to four great Canadian singer-songwriters (but currently only featuring guitar tab for two of them - Fred Eaglesmith and Hawksley Workman.)
