Two interesting site I read about today from Darryl my good friend....
Where's George
BookCrossing
Similar concept, I like BookCrossing better. The idea is that you read a book, tag it with a BookCrossing number, and then give it away, donate it, whatever... then at some point in the future, when someone else reads the book, and discovers the book crossing number, they can goto www.bookcrossing.com and register the book, and you can see where your book ended up.

wheregeorge is the similar idea, using serial numbers on money bills.

Cool idea, kinda like when we were kids, and we attached these post cards to balloons and let them go to see where they end up and get mailed back from.... interesting concept.

That reminds me, if you haven't seen "Pay It Forward" the movie, go see it. :-)

SBC DSL internet.
Man. I installed SBC DSL yesterday at my home. I hope you are reading this, cuz it will ask you whether or not you want to merge your DSL account with your YAHOO account. Make sure you say no.

I made the mistake of saying 'YES', and now whenever I log into my.yahoo.com or mail.yahoo.com or any yahoo related sites, I get this annoying BLUE SBC DSL banner that just kinda makes everything look funny... Yikes! Its really annoying. Not only that, it slow down the browsing capabilities because SBC downloads a bunch of crap banners that I don't want (like news, weather..etc).

*sigh* I guess they're all in the business of making money... ok. gotta goto meeting. stay tuned.
